awesome!

yeh, im not sure why they let you change the exchange folder...

yeah, i initially used the openGL version because of the "suggestions" during installation. It crashed quite regularily for me, then i switched to directX and frame rate was much higher, everything was smoother and no crashes. i was on a gtx 560ti back then though, maybe with the 970 it will be different.

yeah, for me direct x works much better than openGL too...

im not sure about 3d coat, but i know cinema4d uses whatever gpu the monitor is plugged into. so maybe that can help here too.

basically this is a request for multi level sculpting like in cinema4d and zbrush. this request has been made many times. time will tell if it is added.

this is great news, ive been following its development, i think soon is my time to jump on this piece of software. only problem is i cant see any render farms that support it

so was looking at titan x benchmarks http://www.anandtech.com/show/9059/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-titan-x-review/15 and in the fp64 test, the old titan obliterated the new titan. Does 3dcoat use fp64? is this something that automatically comes with cuda support? what about 3d renderers? or something like the fluid sim plugin for c4d: turbulenceFD? cheers.

sounds like a terrible idea. or potentially a spam email collector bot.. .

really wrong section, since PBR is in beta... this is for emergencies...

actual tutorial location:

what really got me happy about max, is i installed a recent demo do convert some files and they finally gave me a choice to use maya naviagtion (aka, cinema4d/universal) because before the middle click to pan just drove me nuts. but as abn says, don't really want to reward this kind of behaviour... And don't want to be stuck with them when they bail on the entertainment suite.. rather be somewhere like houdini... on the other hand if maxon buy maya and merges all the tech into cinema that would make me crazy happy =)

re: mudbox: last year 3dsmax also had very few new features, but look at it this year. very nice stuff.

thanks for this. looks pretty sweet!

Yeah i used to read 3d world pretty regularily before i had broadband... it seems kinda redundant now, especially that you can take your tablet into the toilet...

in this video, they have a really cool rectangle unwrap. that would be nifty in 3d coat too.

nope, didnt help playing with gradients, the problem is the mouse inside the program doesnt follow the wacom pen. it gets separated. i cant even click on any of the buttons with the wacom pen. they highlight, but no clicks get registered. Also my pointer is stuck in the app, unless i use the mouse to get out of it, or alt tab.

looks amazing, but my wacom intuos ( not pro) doesnt work with it. it moves the brush circle around without the cursor, and doesnt paint anything. works fine with mouse though.

im pretty sure it can export regular texture maps, since the point is to get it into games. so you get jpgs, with color, bump, normal, metalness and so on.

but its not about the production cost. Its about the RnD cost. They worked to develop these cards, and they are entitled to try to make as much money as they can from it. it's what the free market is all about. They make it cheaper for people who can't afford to pay lots ( gamers) and they try to make the money back on people who can actually afford it. Also it is possible, that the prices for gaming cards are artificually reduced to compete with AMD and the real prices are in fact of the quadro cards ( RnD wise)

do you have a shield tablet? you keep insisting that its pressure sensitive. But it has no digitzer, so it's pressure sensitivity is spotty at best... since it uses the surface area of the pen nib on the glass to determine pressure apparantly..

i see where they are coming from, gamers have less money, and hence they sell em crippled hardware. I mean for a gamer, the advances in video card technology have been pretty solid with every cycle. As a pro, nvidia wants more of your money, and i guess rightfully so, since we are actually making money with their products, and when you consider the amount of time GPU rendering can save, even 3k per card is a bargain...

im not happy with most hardware/software development recently, but i think im just getting old and grumpy... because objectivly everything is awesome! =)

that seems like it could be very good news. Unless samsung just does it for the ip. and then just lets the cpu side of this die off. but if it decided to compete with intel on the desktop front, that could be very nice indeed

its not pressure sensitive. http://www.slashgear.com/nvidia-shield-tablet-directstylus-2-review-29338977/ but, yes tablet friendly version of 3d coat would be sweet for something like the microsoft surface. or galaxy note series.
