Predator is on the right track with the textures. You have the main support pieces made of wood, I don't think wood would be strong enough to hold up a metal water tower. lol. The tread plate looks ok to me. The other pieces need a bit of work. I would assume that a water tower would probably be made of the same material…
Hello This is my first time sharing my work on Polycount. I'm quite new to modeling, therefore, I apologize for posting low quality content. That being said, any criticize, tips, contructive/destructive comments are very appreciated. :) Things I "didn't" create in this environment are the xtree on the background and the…
well i'm no maya nut but generally when the models/textures are in the scene they are loaded into RAM fully, not cached from disk. no way around some lag other than using more powerful hardware or lower res assets. 300k+ visible in the viewport in a real world scenario (textures, lighting...) and interacting with objects…

I've got some scenes with large amounts of texture maps, in asset tracking most of the map names are partly uppercase for some reason, linking manually ignores the case. All my textures are in folders based on resolution some have high/low res duplicates same names. Using a tool from…
It's a common issue with this hard drive. I've removed the hard drive and I'm trying to connect it straight to the pc as it's so important that I get the data back soon. Does anyone know how to do this exactly? From what I gather I need to connect it via a SATA cable. I've got three SATA ports in the PC, each with a cable…
Hey everyone, I've been working on a tower defense, 3rd person shooter hybrid with a few mates throughout the year and it's coming close to completion. It's loosely inspired by Orcs Must Die, with a similar storyline. Any feedback is appreciated :) We'll be putting up a downloadble version on our website soon.…
The ram is just to get started I laid out the other options for him but forgot to post that here, good call. As for the PSU if they have a whisper quite version at a lower wattage then its probably safe to go lower and save a few bucks but I wouldnt' give up the quite functionality to save a few bucks. In the past I've…
Hey guys, I'm trying to create a sort of brick tower that would look quite like this : NOw I normally would just make a cylinder in 3DsMax and use photoshop to create a diffuse and a normal map, but for the sake of learning I decided to tackle zbrush, and I'm quite new to that programm :) So i've created a (not perfectly)…
