Re: Changing my old tube screen
As a general rule of thumb, you want a screen with as high a resolution and contrast ratio as you can afford. These are both factors that are better the higher they are. I would personally be concerned with power consumption. A plasma screen is going to gobble electricity like a hippo in a kelp forest. LCD and LED screens… -
Re: I need help building a PC, I read the sticky. Still confused.
There are suggested builds listed in the sticky too for various budgets, just make a blend based on the two closest to your budget. With a $950 budget, assuming you want a 'balanced' build, I'd go with something like this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/X9vwCb $160 - CPU: AMD R5 1600 (comes with cooler) $280 - GPU: Geforce… -
Re: ZBrush
Haha, I didn't call you a dick mate, chill out, relax. Although seriously, between Dr. Cox and someone who is wearing a very Freudian mask, I would be the last dick looking-face in the world. And my second point is be nice, why buy a resell at 90% of the original price, I mean that's what currently? 70$ at most you're… -
Re: Robot Pilot Dude! - Portfolio piece.
Progress: Retopod and baked. I also did me some further learning on UV-mapping before baking (using the excellent Polywiki). What I remember from the top of my head: When projecting your high poly, distortions in the UV-map are not a major concern. Especially for organic stuff. Ive seen it, but never really thought about… -
Re: [Zbrush Plugin] zCycler : Brush cycle (Free)
I'd say either there aren't enough people that might be your target zone in Polycount or they aren't bothered to continue reading because of the presentation. One thing to keep in mind is that these days your biggest target audience is most probably on Facebook groups (ten thousand Hours, Level Up, etc...) and not on… -
Re: Painted Textures
Just an FYI on tablets, Monoprice has a really good selection and they work absolutely fine. They are between about $30 and $50. I have product number 10594 and use it daily, most times 6-8 hours a day (sometimes more). Has performed perfectly in all that time (maybe about a year now?). Before that I had product 6814 (same… -
Re: Zelda: Wind waker Tech and Texture Analysis *picture heavy*
okay i found a tool to extract the files from windwaker and look closer into it. Link has 2874 tris, the mesh showed earlier from google3dsomething looks like the one i extracted. He uses 42 bones. with a total of 323 animations for the body (not all can be opened with an error that they use 5 instead of 42 bones, so its… -
Re: Cintiq 24HD
Having a 21UX at home, I can say the loss of being able to rotate the tablet when its positioned horizontally is pretty huge. Although I must confess I rarely work like that. I have it stand at the most vertical position so I can use my aluminum apple keyboard in front of it. I kinda want a monitor arm for it now, since… -
Re: Not Your Average Software Debate
I would maybe not go with the large complex (expensive!) major applications. But it depends a little on what might suit your son. Is he already keen on art? Does he draw a lot? Then encouraging his artistic side with something free like Sculptris http://pixologic.com/sculptris/ and a (very cheap Bamboo) graphics tablet… -
Re: [Maxscript] Creating Objects on Relative Position
The tool needs to be much more complex to handle what you want to do. Here's a quick example below. ( rollout Boxtool "Box Creator" ( spinner count "Number:" type:#integer range: [1,100,10] spinner size "Box Size:" range: [1,100,8] spinner distance "Distance Inbetween:" range: [1,200,25] pickbutton create "Create Boxes"…
