SATA drives will be a bit faster but not by much unless you installed 2 or more in a RAID stripe which roughly doubles the speed of the I/O. The drawback is the cost of course, but also that if one drive fails, the whole volume does too. RAID-5 is a good way around this because one of the drives serves as sort of a backup…
Hello to my fellow polycounters! I’ve been working on a character in the evenings after my day-job, in hopes of pushing my portfolio forwards. In the past I’ve either had a fairly generalist portfolio, or the chosen designs were not visually strong. I’ve reflected a lot lately, and decided to push forwards with a stylized…
But not for too long: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16614865/ I can't quite believe the stupidity of the organizers. Maybe there's more awareness about this in the UK, 'cos i distinctly recall this being a big issue from a bunch of kids dying from water intoxication as a result of taking ecstacy. Either way, this is a pretty…
Hey everybody! This is the WIP thread for my entry - feedback is much appreciated. The skin is inspired by the various skeleton themed sci-fi comic book covers in the 70s. This is the workshop link for the project: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=679449259 I intend this skin to be part of the…
Hey Guys, Just a quick Q really, I'm about to go to bed and I thought Id quickly google feathered arms and found nothing... There was a little more content with wings but by then I figured I'd just ask the pros. The arms are to be rigged, the fingers are not a necessity but I'm thinking it would be a nice touch... Anyway…
You would probably want to model it in a more neutral position for animation. It might be hard to rig it so it looks good when closed at the current angle. Not a big deal, though you might want to adjust it if you are going to normal map it. Probably wouldnt be a big deal though. Also if you dont animate it, having such an…
Been a long time, working on this off and on between gigs, but now that things are slowing down, I'm trying to motivate myself into working on more personal projects. Never actually did one of these body mechanics sequences before, so here's a WIP on a looped obstacle course. C&C always welcome and appreciated :)…
The covered Nintendo stand looks interesting. Somebody snapped a pic of it and I've done a little deeper digging than some forum goers have, to get these clear results as to what it could be: Original (Edited by the interwebs) My edit My Edit inverted So what do you think this could be...? I hope to GOD its a new Super…
Hellfoot, I moved your post out of the Job Census. This should be its own thread. For internships, usually companies are not looking for complete skillsets, they're looking for raw talent, someone that looks like they have the potential to grow into a paid position. It's a great way to cull the best talent out of the…
I don't have Substance installed right now and don't remember, but can you turn off texture filtering in the viewport? SeanWink: In addition to the great info you already got, turning off texture filtering can help you see what you are doing a bit better at lower resolutions and provides a crisper render as well. It's not…
