@obloquy It depends entirely on your budget. Substance especially loves large amounts of vram, so ideally you'd want something with 12GB or more. The 4070 for $600 has 12GB of vram and is about twice as fast as your 1080. The Geforce 4090 w/24GB of vram is the king atm, but it also costs a kings ransom ($1600 minimum).…
This opensource project already has over 200 weapons; so there is value in adding more map formats that it can load. When we programmed in wolfenstine:enemyterritory support into the engine; and then supporting code in the game code; that opened up 600 maps to this project. The same would be nice for unreal 97/ unreal…
Hey I've just had a very similar issue, but I was fortunately saving with .ma not binary. I'd just had a mistype and changed a mash network from 600 dist to 600450 (instead of down to 450), so the PC tried to go to into space whenever it loaded and Fatal Errored. I was able to recover the file by opening it in a text…

I'm really curious about the criteria of selecting a proper CPU for ZBrush. I've thoroughly googled for any real…
Yea I really think the Maxscript section of CGTalk needs to be archived before it's too late. I'm trying to find a way to use "archiveweb.page" to archive as much as possible as a wacz file, but javascript breaks wacz linking and disabling it in chrome breaks formatting. The archiveweb.page dedicated browser shows the page…
its not clear to me what the problem is from the pictures, however if this is a game model i'd question the use of corrective blendshapes in the first place because I don't think you will easily be able to transfer it to your game engine. But more importantly, for bending of the elbow you should be able to accomplish it…
Hey folks! I get asked a lot about the "business" side of being a game artist, so I thought I would start condensing my brain dumps into short articles. Awhile ago I did a quick blurb in a Discord group about negotiating signon bonuses during interviews. I wanted to take it a step further and make it available to more…
