Re: I'm looking to buy a new video card, but I have some questions.
you might not be able to swap power supplies on the dell. The last time I tried to swap power supplies on a dell I found a proprietary power plug on the motherboard. You can plug your parts into this power supply calculator to get some idea of what you can expect from the current PSU:… -
Re: Computer not POSTing
Vassago. Double check what sequence the vid card power hookup is to the PSU. Make sure its on one of the first connectors. I had this exact same issue a few months back with my geforce 6600 desktop system. I only had a 400W psu, and was running into this error of not getting it to boot the first time, then turning it off,… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: Materials not working (pattern issue perhaps?)
Also having this issue, using CC 2015, had no isses before on CS6. Posted an example below, 2 has the correct material applied, 1 is the same material just without any detail (the bug). Looked into the patterns overlay issue Panzerdraco mentioned and it does seem to be to do with that. As a temp fix for artist who can't… -
Re: Color Calibration: Your Monitor and you
After doing some more reading, I think I'm going back and forth between these three options: X-Rite i1 Display Pro LaCie Blue Eye Pro Spyder4 Elite I definitely want to be able to manually set as many options as possible, including specifying the target white point and luminance values, so it seems the "lower versions" of… -
Re: Landing Dove
Which is it? DOVE SWAN WHITE DUCK Notice that the swan and the duck do not float around with their wings out. Even sea guls that tend to hold their wings out after landing don't dip them in the water but hold them up and out. If you're proud of the rigging you did and the wings don't fold up, you should probably dial back… -
Re: Working with symmetry on non-symmetrical mesh - 3DSMax?
I think you can use Replace (under Import) to swap out objects with same-named objects of another file. I know Replace respects hierarchy, but not sure about rigging. There's a good chance, though, it works very well for mechanically rigged models. Basically, you'd save a copy of the file, do what you've got to do however… -
Re: Best practices for model with interactive screens/displays?
Thanks @throttlekitty, that's really good advice, and exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to get. So would it make sense to have all of the different buttons on the same material, and then depending one what color I need the button to be at any given time, I could just swap out meshes or something like that for one… -
Re: [PBR] Physically Based Rendering Bible
The metal values listed on that chart (the ones that are 180-255) are not albedo values, but reflection strength (specular) values. That's why they are brighter. Their albedo would be black anyway. Make sure you understand what a metallic map means for an albedo map if this surprises/confuses you. Why Forged iron is listed… -
Re: Let us help in saving the world.
They're just video games, and nobody is going to care. No media other than news can have the desired effect of saving the world, and the news media can only do it if it puts a healthy amount of bias into its stories to sway public opinion. And that would need to be done years and years before the fact, or else people still… -
Re: Level of Detail - what methods to use
You know about LODs and have worked on flight sims, but don't know about culling? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question. Usually meshes are simply culled (not rendered) when they reach a certain distance, and/or they're a certain small scale onscreen. warby's right though, profile your game before spending time on it.…
