Gaphires only have 512 levels of sensitivity but I've heard from some that you can't really tell the difference between 512 and 1024. I personally have an Intuos2 4x5 for space reasons. It set me back $150, but it could be a little cheaper now as that was about two years ago. I'd say it was an excellent buy at the time,…
The concept reminds me from an old cartoon show from the late 80's I can't remember it though. Well I'm just gonna say this now, it needs A LOT of work. The model: You really must look up human proportions and study them, this guy is totally out of whack. His feet are far too short. His waist way too thin, hands are far…
i'm aiming for around 3k, its just over the amount at the moment. I'll be texturing him soon and im useing 3dsmax7. Heres the wires for the model, if u need more jus ask. Ive also just modeled and textured the matrix. pc is 700+ and using one 512 map
Yes, look for a setting in this menu (you may have to translate these into German, I don't know if the names are the same): Customize -> Preferences -> "Viewports" tab, then click "Configure Driver" (DirectX is usually better) down at the bottom.

Oooh I love that guys art - really would love to see it done justice like this. Keep it up! Jams totally right about edges there - one really handy thing, to avoid disapointment later on, is to keep in mind a rough texture resolution for each area (so, if your doing a 2k map, the backs what, 512x512 ish) A good excercise…
This one works as well, probably not as fancy as that other one though. I know this one works, tried it myself several times. Quite limited camera control and the camera i a bit skewed. http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=51691
Here are some things aurick mentioned on the Zbrush forums, some information might be a bit out of context but you can get the gist of the points he's making regarding performance. On a 64-bit machine with 4 GB of RAM, you can set the Compact Mem value at 4096. Actually, if you have 4 GB of RAM you should go about 512…
I did some more reading tonight, and I am wondering if the HP dv5t might be a better buy. Apparently the CPU chipset is newer, and the 9600 GT outclasses the 8600 GT in the Dell. Pricing seems comparable. Then again, I'm worried that the 512 MB video card might put greater strain on the battery. Maybe I should look at a…
