Re: What's a good Screen for working with Blender?
Any cheap $300 IPS sRGB monitor like 98 % of sRGB + colorimeter are perfectly fine for anything . Much better than expensive one without colorimeter. I always suggest to spend money to something like x-right colormunkey or spider rather than expensive monitor. And it's often cheaper in sum. If your don't setup ACES… -
Re: just cause 2

Re: PC build for 3D help
You would be better off spending €1300 every 2 years for 6 years than spending 4000 at once. It's over kill, and a 1300 computer built a year from now will be better than a 4000 built today. -
Re: Mirroring and stacking UVs leads to tangent discontinuity and seam
Thanks all for your comments! I ended up trying to solve this in Unreal Engine 5. I brought in my plane mesh with the texture and sure enough the seam was there too. Based on this thread: https://polycount.com/discussion/116922/a-solution-to-normal-maps-with-mirrored-uvs-in-udk I flipped the x channel in a shader just for… -
Re: Anime Process + Shader Techniques
It doesn't look like you're using the step function in your shader, and it's absolutely necessary to make the sharp shadowing. They mention it in the GDC presentation on this slide: So you take the dot product (also called "scalar" product) between the vertex-to-light vector (going from the vertex to the light position)… -
Re: ram question
I don't know if that's quality RAM, but I heard OCZ is not as good as it once was. Vista label on RAM is more of gimmick since it is more dependent on the motherboard which will make it more compatible. RAM is really cheap now you could get 2X2 GB PC2-6400 which is slightly faster set for $115-$130. I think that RAM would… -

[maxscript] How to create a range of numbers to be used in material selections
Hi! I'm a noobie in scripting, but I'm trying to automatize some repetitive tasks at my job. I want to turn on this function in my multi material selection. For instance: to change the RGB colors of my materials, instead of typing all the way from 1 to 100, how can I make it more straight to the point:… -

Re: Conroe .vs. FX-62 (anandtech)
It's just like when AMD released their 64 bit line. It was a LOT cheaper and much faster. Now its Intel's time to shine for a while, and then AMD will most likely come out with something to stomp Intel in 2-3 years. I'll probably stick with my current rig for a while longer (AMD 3000+ stock 1.8ghz OCd to 2.7ghz on stock…
