Re: Average number of animation frames in modern characters?
1300 frames in 1 file should make the editor crash :) And on the single/multi file issue; I use both, depending on what type of animations i'm making. Multi files give me more flexibility when i need to extend the animations. Single files make it easier for me to make animations blend into others, and for exporting from… -
Re: do you believe in love at first sight? (mudbox)
mop & po(o)p: thanks - but... you didn't know about that? how do people deal with the blobs in Z, or the edgy corners in quick strokes in PS7+? no wonder everybody screams for this muddy box thing. my second tip would be to create your own floating UI then. saves a lot of time digging through the menu structure. hopefully… -
Re: Media Center PC, tuner recomendations?
Well i'm looking at building a system with a dual core intel e5200, 4 gigs of ram, and a geforce 9400 HDCP ready/HDMI video card. And i'm thinking i'll use XP MCE.

Re: 2 new dell budget IPS monitors (23 inch - $300)
To my knowledge the 23 and 21 inch models dont have HDMI. If you want that you're gonna have to fork over for the 24 inch and above HDCP is an encryption to prevent copying video.

Re: Getting good height from Nvidia-filter normalizing grayscale height
I've been playing around with different methods for combining normal maps and I'm personally convinced that the method described here is the best - http://www.rodgreen.com/?p=4 It might not be 100% correct as crazybump might provide but it looks almost the same and has the ability to keep things in photoshop. To have… -
Re: Sketch Thread 2006
pie, always try and use ref. right now it looks like it's been dipped in paint. either push it more in that direction by adding bump detail with shadows and stuff, or grap some ref and redo it. pay attention to how the surface interacts with the light and the surrounding environment. it's all about reflections on something… -
Re: Can you please tell me how to draw light and shadow effect on a complex shaped metal object?
