hehe yea all my friends laugh at me cos i dont wanna change my gfx when i upgrade to an i7 but like its the most potent value for money card i know i mean my edition beats the standard nvidia 250 gts and a few above it aswell and considering the amount of 256 bit cards out there arent that many majority are all 128 bit plus it has hdmi at da back ^^ but im very glad to hear myu setup is ok.... but i still lag quite a bit is that normal

um guys when i import my pic its a jpeg 3885x4450 pixels its quelity is horrid? any advice or do i have to deal with it cos when it was a jpeg its quality was awesome!

hey guys i know im slightly off topic here btw was hoping some one who knows SU well to give me sum advice

i ahve a q8300 OC'd to like 4.oGHZ mainly did it for gaming and then 4 gigs ram and a old 9800 gtx 256 bit 1 gig mem grafix card is this sufficient as i got a bit of cash and would like a small improvement i will eventually go i7 but would just like seggestions

or shud i just wait and go i7 and is my grafiX fine?

HEHE ty so much guys will post a pic of the finished product for critism but it was scanned on a hid ef scanner it feeds the image in like a fax machine so its always 100% square and al so yay for me haha but ty for all the replies

ok so i saw a tutorial on how a guy took an image of a pan and imported it to SU then scaled it so that he cud work with it... now i understood everything there except for one tiny detail how do i get the pic into SU... maybe im just being a noob but yea would be nice to know ^^

yea i did that for like 3 weeks which was ok and all but what im really lookin for is advice from maybe an architect who does 3d design for homes etc and has a nice set of starter plugins i dont mind researching on how to use em as so far i have started fiddling with rendering working from digital plans working from plans i have in paper just drawing my SU model accordingly i have also started using keybinds ( shortcuts) for a alot of stuff now so basically all i use my mouse for is selecting end points really helps but i was wondering if there was a window maker plugin that can make a complete window i tried out windowizer but it creates only the front face atm im making a copy then joining it up with the line/rectangle tool but i dont know mayber there is a better one that i can use that will save me alot of time etc

btw alot of great and awesome tutorials here

hey guys im veilaince

ok so i started SU recently and was really lucky to get a run down thru its basic commands etc and been playing around for about a week n a half so i have been on it about a mont now... really awesome program but i got a whack load of plugins and keep seeing new ones so atm im like a lil kid who has walked into the wall mart of candy stores

would love it if some one could let me know what are a good set of plugins to start with as i would be primarily designing homes and gardens for landscapers etc

i had a quick squizz through the tutorials but i dont know where to start also all the video tutorials are a heavty strain on my bandwidth only got like 1.5 gigs per month

best reagrds
