Yes, 8 gigs is just not enough these days. I've 32gigs and am going to double it soon as it'sjust not enough. :) plus, it's dirt cheap. I always allow for future-proofing when I put a new rig together knowing I'll need more a ram sooner or later.....
You could add a few extra edge loops and slide them around manually as well. Maybe focus around the cheekbones, brows, chins, and stuff. (while ignoring the back of the head and such.) That should maybe rest somewhere around 8-10k Tris.... Not that there's anything wrong with 15k Tris...
It's not problem of resolution. I have set 8 for resolution and it looks the same if I set 128. In udk I had 32 and you see how it looks. @edit ok, I give up for know. First I will make whole scene, then I will be thinking how to fix this.
Yeah, or the attitude of some people that you can't possibly be a good artist in games if you don't play a lot of games yourself. Its like.... ok, you continue clocking 8 hours a day on Dota and I'll be working, lets meet back here in 6 months :D

Don't necro an ancient thread from 8 years ago please. Unless you are directly addressing the original subject, which was about how to solve a problem in a particular version of 3ds Max. Posting a 3d coat tutorial does not help any of the people who responded in that thread.
There are hardware limits on the amount of texture operations you can do in a single pass, so it can be helpful to minimise that where possible. Depending in the hardware I think it's 8 or 16 textures? Possibly more on modern hardware. That and it can be helpful for organisational purposes to keep the number of textures…
Hey thanks for the great comments guys. @Di$array sounds interesting! Yeah Im looking forward to the challenge, getting the feeling of the concept etc. Hopefully Ill have some model wip images by the weekend, 8 week old son's tend to slow down the pipeline a bit >.<
Hey thanks for the reply. How much bigger do you think it needs to be? The dumpster by my Alley is about 5 and a half feet tall, maybe 6.5 at it's tallest point. If that door is about 7-8 feet tall with a 1 foot concrete stair wouldn't that be about right?
Hi! I have a Macbook Pro 15'' Retina Display i7 (2012) SSD with GeForce GT 650M with 1GB GDDR5 memory. Have you tested the Project Anarchy with PC emulator like Boot Camp or Parallels 8? if yes does It work well? Thanks Ago
