baking ptex to normal uv
heyho.. I'm trying to transfer / bake a ptex texture to a normal uv mapped texture. I've created the ptex paint in mudbox. Atm I have the problem that I run out of memory VERY quickly. I have 48GB of ram and baking a 8k texture from the 26mil tries highpoly makes the pc run out of mem and enter a half-not-responsive state… -
Re: Nevercenter Silo, new version just released...
I'm joking.. Although.. I haven't given pixologic any money since zbrush 3 and I've still got a working license. That's got be to 13-14 years now - makes the £300 it cost back then feel like a bit of a bargain really. I'd recommend trying Silo for people who correctly identify Maya as the massive piece of shit it is for… -
Re: What brand laptop should I buy as an artist?
@krasenmaximov Then I'll suggest researching well established brands, as Joopson mentioned earlier upthread. Reason being they're typically renown for reliability, component longevity and build quality at a competitive consumer price point so my advice is to start listing system specs of those devices with quality… -
Re: Unlimited Detail
That's why HVDs need to be released for this to be considered even capable. If Consoles get this into pla games will be raped on what's possible "HVD (Holographic Versatile Disc) is the next generation in optical disk technology. HVD is still in a research phase that would phenomenally increase the disk storage capacities… -
Re: New comp build, need your advice :)
8.1 versus 7 is really not as big a deal as people make it. I would say just get whichever is cheaper. SSDs go on sale pretty frequently these days; you should be able to pick one up for relatively cheap. That's a high price for a GTX 750. You should look for a GTX 760 at less than $240 or a GTX 770 at less than $320. If… -
Re: Who Works On A Laptop / Recommendations?
Hit up the discount/coupon code sites. They'll do some major discounts, and in my case it just saved me over 500 bucks. I just got a new HP laptop (just delivered, like an hour ago), and with the discount code, it ran me just under a thousand for: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83 gh 17" 1680x1050 3 GB DDR2 Geforce 8600M GS 512 MB… -
Re: New PC
Vig, have you thought of building a RAID setup for high speeds with larger amounts of data? I was just thinking, 4 drives in a RAID5 setup would be pretty speedy too. 4 of these would set you back $320 + a controller and would give you 3x ~60 mpbs write and 3x ~80mbps read, coming out at 1.9TB 240/180 versus your 0,13TB… -
Re: [WIP] UDK Modular Environment
first thing you should have done was built proxy pieces in UDK that way you can get a feel for everything before moving onto highpoly. Some UDK Unit Info: A typical character is about 96 max units tall. So in feet 96 / 6 feet = 16 units. So in other words, 16 units = 1 Foot. Height when standing: 96 units Height when… -
Re: how high is too high of polycount
I have rigged things before, but nothing with this much detail so I'm trying to give it a go so I can have some solid portfolio work. Also the images I attached are a model I exported after doing the "T POSE MASTER" in zbrush, so its got about 32k. But when I export each sub tool separately into maya, its got 18k, and it… -
Re: The worst time to graduate?
Average London weekly rents: http://www.londonpropertywatch.co.uk/average_rental_prices.html The cheapest rents on there are about £200 ($320 USD) per week for a one bedroom apartment.
