Sage, make sure that you are running the most current version of Direct X, which is available from Microsoft's downloads. It looks like any Nvidia card from the 6000 series should be able to do DX9 fine. I'm not sure about anything previous to that, but I'm seeing Geforce 6800 GTs on Pricewatch for about $135 right now.…
The Walmart I work at unloading trucks, got 8 PS3. At 12 am they allowed the people with tickets to purchase them. I herd people were camping outside Tuesday to get their tickets. I have a friend at the store that preordered 3 of them to sell them on ebay. He got 1600 for each. The kid is still in high school. He also did…
Oh, yeah, I understand that totally. It's not "bad" really, but like you said it's not really expressive. However I'm a strong believer that you can make even plain ideas look interesting with a bit of thought. For example, you said this was 600 years in the future ... if you consider how far the design and construction of…

MGS4 looks good, but it shows the power of the ps3 very well, or the lack there of in the area of textures and polygons. They said at e3 that his hair was over 60k polys yet now you can see its more like 250 if even that. All the world textures are small as hell. I have yet to see something on the ps3 running in real time…

Hey Jackwhat, as i'm in the middle of trying to solve out a problem yet have no solution I'll do my best to reply to your post. I come from a traditional art background, majored in children's books in my final year of my Illustration BA. I've done life drawing, oil painting, and used various medias to convey imagery. I've…
$!nz - the middle row of windows have sheets of ply wood covering them from the inside... but since a lot of people are thinking its brick i think i'm going to separate the boards a little so you can see a gap. Scooby - Higher rez is no problem, do you think its too small. this was the size i was planing on turning in…
M'kay, so many people were yelling specular I decided to lower it. So F5. Textures - sorry nope. They all equal to two textures 4096px and multiply it by 3 (spec,color,bump) and you will understand why. Besides they don't look interesting at all unlike the old fashioned game textures which are great to look at. And the…
