Member mwgrafx Posted April 27, 2016 Member Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Here is an old gameartisans entry that I never finished. I decided to go the hand painted route. Its still a early WIP. On a side note, whenever I run 3DCoat on my laptop, the computer gets really hot and the fan is working hard. I am afraid I'm going to burn something up. Is there anything I can do to solve this or ease it? My specs are: Windows 10 64Bit Processor: AMD A4-4300M APU with Radeon HD Graphics 2.50GHz RAM: 4.00GB (3.46GB useable) Thanks.

Advanced Member Gary Dave Posted April 27, 2016 Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Good stuff, always a fan of seeing hand painted stuff. As for your heating issue, I'm not entirely sure. I'd say your RAM is in the low-end of computers these days, and I tend to avoid using laptops for any sort of art work, buuut it is a bit suspicious if all you're doing is painting on a low poly mesh. You haven't got some bajillion poly voxel object sat in the sculpt room do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mwgrafx Posted April 27, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks. It's is a low poly with under 3000 polys and a 1024x1024 map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Nice work! Nightwing is a great character, digging the aged version. Regarding your computer, I can only speak from my experience. Every time I've used 3DC on my laptop, it goes completely crazy with the fans. I used 3DC on the same laptop for months on end with no problems though. 3DC is based on a game engine that Andrew developed years ago, and when I run games on the same laptop I get the same intensive fan usage. So I would say it's "normal", as far as how 3DC and 3D** games use the GPU.

Member mwgrafx Posted May 20, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Sorry for the delay in response, Here is an update. Working on him when I can. I did some research, it seem to be common when you run windows 10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mwgrafx Posted June 1, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Here is an update of the character. This somewhat of an idea of a pose I had in mind. Still need to finish his hands, feet, hair, and some minor tweaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
