    • RE: Graphical Issues on Laptop

      Hi,

      Thanks for the info, it worked alright but now that i know laptop is not much use for modelling larger models i'm gaining leverage for the boss (herself) to get me a new one!!

      Anyone got suggestions on which laptop is good for modelling on? That's within €700 or so

    • Graphical Issues on Laptop

      Hi Guys,

      Here's my Laptops Specs

      Dell Latitude D400
      Intel Pentium M 1700MHZ Processor
      1GB Ram
      Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller
      40GB HDD

      Recently while modeling the house below i experience display issues

      House Plan.jpg

      I've each part Grouped and on its own layer but when i attempt to add interior walls to existing interior walls artifacts appear and faces vanish? Also no indication appears on any face when is use select tool or push/pull etc. And at time SU will push/pull the adjacent face?

      Here's an example of the issue

      House Plan Issue.jpg

      And here's my system preferences

      System Preferences.jpg

      Recently i've installed some plugins but i don't know if that is the issue? All my drivers are up to date as i've DriverMax 5 installed and it keeps it up to date on a daily basis.

      Any ideas or advice?

    • RE: Texture Packs search

      Do you mean you have to search for good and free textures?

      Or you have good textures to offer for free?

      Hi,

      Did you purge your model to remove unused components, textures etc.?

      Great Link and super use of native tools.

      I agree with Solo (about plugins not drugs!!)

      Did you check out Solo's Garden Pack? He might be able to help you out? But other than that I'm clueless!

    • RE: Killzone 2 - Level Design

      Hi Coen,

      Great work. Do you know if the design is used on the final game? I followed this game closely from its first showing as i was impressed at what they were trying to achieve so early in the PS3's life. I purchased the game on release and was very impressed, except for it's lenght.

      I'd love to see if your design was implemented in the final game and how was it used?

    • RE: Solitude

      The reason i ask about a tutorial is because it'd be interesting to see what setting you used etc. As I'm some who is struggling to get to grips with VR, and there's very little out there that caters for beginners, i find that a detailed step by step approach to show how someone progresses through a project would benefit the noobs greatly. I've done the PDF manual that is on the VR website but find that it is limited in its approach and spends a lot explaining the simple things rather than how to apply settings to get desired effect!

      But that said i have been called a dumb ass in the past and maybe rendering isn't for me????????
