And, the best part, I didn't have to pay for any of it! Well, the subcription to the Tivo service, but that's besides the point. Tivo is… -
Re: Vray for 3dsmax question
I have 3ds Max 2012 for one particular client who only uses that version (don't want to update their custom plugins), and they require I use V-Ray 2.5 with them. We could upgrade to the latest v3.3 though if they wanted. http://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VRAY3MAX/System+Requirements -
Ngons, Aye or Nay ?
Hello Polycount As probably many of you since the day I've been learning to do 3D I was always told 'remember Ngons are bad, never use them" and I kept to this rule till now.

Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - May & June 2017 (48)
Great to see everyone making progress this week! I didn't get as much done as I wanted to, but I'll have a little more time on my hands next week, I think.

Re: First day anecdotes.
I was hired at Cave Dog/Humongous right when GT interactive decided to shut down the QA department and lay off most of the Cave Dog staff. They took everyone off site for a company meeting, as people checked in they separated the cattle into two conference rooms. Conference room B, was given a number to call, to schedule a… -
Re: Vray vs. Renderman vs. Arnold.
Any render engines out there these days can do realistic render. Go ahead and get started with whatever engine available to you. Once you get the idea down, it applies across the board. There may be technical differences but the core understanding of a good render is the same regardless. If you use Blender, Cycle is an… -
graphics card/RAM question
I just want to make sure i have my facts straight... the graphics card would be used to render stuff in the 3dsmax/maya viewport (since real-time rendering passes through the GPU). the RAM would be used for actually rendering scenes using vray, mental ray... am i right? or are my facts completely wrong? feel free to add…
