Really, are we still saying this? C'mon, at least bother to read the thread. The extra costs associated with owning a home pale in comparison to the net loss you take when you rent. The only situation this is going to be true is when you're comparing $200 a month rent to a $800 a month mortgage or something equally silly,…
If your goal is to get a massive e-cock from your texture memory just make sure you get a card thats actually fast enough to allocate that much memory, i've seen 512mb 6800s perform the same as 128 mb 6600gts... I wouldnt outright go for SLI off the bat, thats more of an upgrade thing. Wait for a game to be released that…
After 5 years of hard work, and thanks to many failed projects, I've ended up having a huge collection of game ready models. Because I'm moving to CGI department, those models will become "useless" to me. Now I wish to trade them with you guys at a very indie price. Let's cut the crap! For $150, you will get 2400+ fully…
Well, I'd be getting the E6600 chip. It's twice as fast as the 4200+, but not quite twice as much. I'm not entirely sure where you're hearing about the Conroe mobos 'sucking', Sonic. I've read nothing but astounding reviews about the whole line of CPUs and mobo's. Hell, people have already posted overclock marks of the…
Hi All, I am looking to collaborate with two 3D Character Artists who can help develop our characters for an upcoming Sci-Fi game. We are looking for people who have experience in both hard-surface and organic modeling and know how to texture. There are 2 jobs. One artist will be focused on the helmets and the second job…
a nice athlon64 3200 is pretty much today's average computer, and those a64 3800 x2's are doing well too or if you're feeling like a cheapy, get a socket 754 mobo and a sempron 2600 and overclock that sucker to 2ghz for performance pretty equal to that of an athlon64 3200, but with alot less price. 128kb l2 cache isn't…
The sword looks good, but 3200... that really doesn't need to be 3200 more like 1200-1600 all the slices in the grip can go, so can the little orb and all the micro slices. The blade is pretty clean polywise but a few more could come off that as well. If you can see it in your renders or have to zoom in the see the detail…
parasite7: Cool, epic feel to that. I like the scale and style. lkraan: One of the best anime-style models and textures I've seen. Maybe a sharper shadow under the nose would work? Love the glasses OgrO: Great start, keep it up Snowfly: Nice face and hat! Just over 4000 triangles at the moment here. Was meant to be for the…
hey man Nice Hydrant! I just wanted to address your question about the tri count. 4000 is really high for a fire hydrant. I actually did a vehicle recently for production that was around 6500 just to give some perspective. Fire hydrant is probably a prop that is just going to be decorative for the environment. With 4000…
