I can chime in here. My last job I had at Game Time Live in Chicago (no longer exist :( and shut down) built me a crazy top of the line Falcon Northwest PC... Topped it out on everything and got one of the crazy ass $1500 quadro cards. I thought man this is going to be great. This super powerful card and I can do what I…
For making art, you'll want an IPS display for color accuracy. 2560x1440 and 2560x1600 high resolution displays are starting to come down in price. What is your budget? The cheapest korean panel 27" LED IPS at 2560x1440 resolution run about $350-$400+ and you can get them from normal resellers like…
Yeah - and considering that more and more people are starting to use the program, it would be great to know what causes these bugs on your end so that we can avoid running into them ! On my end I can safely say that Blender has been way more stable than both Max and Maya, but that of course doesn't mean that it is the same…
Hey fdfxd2 that's a good article on washington post but I wouldn't say that article is unbiased, its very hard to find any completely unbiased information on this topic as a lot of it has to do with different experts interpretations of data and the public's own personal convictions and predictions for the future. Its very…
I'm having this issue now and I have no idea how to fix it :poly141:. I found a thread in crydev about a fix for this but I can't access the actual thread. http://www.crydev.net/viewtopic.php?f=355&t=74281
@DonEngland: So far, so good! @Pyrzern: Based on her profile, it looks like her chin is too far away from the neck. Also, I don't know if this is just an artistic liberty you took, but the concept doesn't show her having an exposed patch of skin on her stomach. Keep at it! Going for a high-res Mech for this one. Under 35k…
Here is some information about megascans from another thread: It depends a little on the resolution: for an 8K material with 8bit maps and 32 bit displacement/bump it's around 350MB per material. An object scan with 8K maps (+32 bit displacement) and ztool, highpoly and LODs is 700MB. Around 80MB per material for 4K, and…
Thanks for the input guys! My intention with the skin was to a sweaty look. I tried out diffirent methods to simulate this, for intance sweatdrops in the specular map and normalmapped driplets, but it ended up with looking like either milk or some weird skin condition... If someone has a good method of achieving this, feel…
I'd agree with that, I could see a PC gamer dropping $350 on VR more quickly than a console gamer. But people were spending $150+ on those Rockband sets.
Found a beautiful example - My Big Fat Greek Wedding had a reported budget of $6 million. It made $350 million at the box office, but reported a loss of $20 million - how can you lose more than you spend? The LOTR trilogy claims to have made losses despite making $6 billion at the box office. In both of these cases, people…
