Re: AI Art, Good or Bad? A (hopefully) nuanced take on the subject.
I haven't posted here recently because it's kind of obvious at this point; the bubble is popping. 30,000 laid off at Oracle, Copilot is 'for entertainment purposes only', etc, etc. Beating a dead horse with 5 legs and 2 necks at this point… -
Re: Student portfolio help & advice
Hey OP, You can improve a lot. For example it still seems you are really weak on modelling. Can you maybe start doing these. It starts simple, but it is really good practice. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129938 http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=132146… -
Mouse: Selection problem.
Hey guys, So I have been doing some "cgi" pieces recently and since using v-ray and dense poly scenes I have noticed that my mouse is struggling to select things within max and now outside of max. I would think this was a mouse problem, but its only when max is open that it is having these issues, it feels like a… -

Re: RSI from 3d modeling / Wacom tablet advice
Hi, bumping up this thread from a while back: So I bought a wacom tablet and after getting my head around using it for Maya / general PC use I’ve gotten used to it.

Re: Feeling guilty while living at home but working on becoming a better artist.
Helping out around the house is good. I would advise against getting a part time job unless you absolutely have to though. I tried this, and it drained me much more than I thought it would.

Gav, it's our in-house "safe bet" for work, given that of an 8-hour work day, chances are that something or another will distract you or otherwise take away your attention from the main task for at least an hour or two per day! :) I would probably try to achieve the same sort of thing at home, though, assuming I was a pure… -
Re: 3D Mouse
These bad boys are definitely a case by case basis. If there is anyone out there with wrist strain, this could save you a lot of pain. I developed a cyst on my wrist from years of navigating in 3D with a mouse and keyboard, and ever since I moved a lot of my pipeline into utilizing 3D mouse and tablet, it has been an… -
[Flying mouse] Window 7 - VS - Firefox
This morning my mouse did a 5 meters jump (and I helped for it) because explorer.exe crashed for the 15th time since 2h... Then I did some research on Google and I found that : http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/481957 It seems to have a conflict with Firefox 3.5 and it will randomly crash explorer.exe on window 7.…
