    Bean86 got a reaction from Lucas Gintoki in LG PF1000U Ultra Short Throw Projector Giveaway   
    Really like the short throw concept as the traditional ones were always a pita considering the inputs are mostly in front of you. Also with open space living rooms it's difficult to place a projector and not get a big disapproving look from the wife.

    Bean86 reacted to Elapo in 3Ds Max, Maya, Mudbox, AutoCAD: which one should I be using   
    Well, depending on the fidelity you're going for with the game assets, you'll need both mudbox and 3ds max/maya
     
    Mudbox is sculpting, it really takes a lot of practice, but it's the best way to make organic things, like animals and humans. You can model those, but sculpting will look better.
     
    3DS Max & maya are great for environments, you can choose whichever one you want. I'm more of a 3ds max guy, as I find it has better modeling tools. Rendering is pretty much identical in both, with both using either Mental Ray or iRay
     
    Great thing about autodesk software is that you can just export something from mudbox to maya/max with a single click, and vice versa.
     
    I'd say learn modeling first (environments, non-organic objects) and familiarize yourself with the interface of either maya or max. (Mudbox will adapt to whichever you are used to, it does both max and maya hotkeys). One tip I always give is HOTKEYS! Learn them, use them, they make your life so much easier!
     
    AutoCAD doesn't really belong in this list, unless you're also looking to make technical drawings, which is not a part of game asset creation
     
     
    This! 
    Their education system is so good that I don't understand why my school insisted on making us pay for Cinema 4D.
     
    I switched to max the second it stopped mattering.

    Its the PLA5206. I just ordered two TP-Link TL-PA8010P for my other NAS(wifi is too slow even with a dedicated AP for the NAS). They have a "big" advantage against the current zyxels, the passthrough feature . In theory they will arrive at Wednesday so i dont know yet what they can handle....

    Calm down girls and boys!
     
    Actually there is already a law enforcing this in the EU and as far as I know in the US as well.
    But only the charger has to be universal with an USB conncetor. The cable from the charger to the phone can still be proprietary. That is fine and doesn't needed to be changed.
    Switzerland is finally also erforcing this too.

    Bean86 got a reaction from gipsy danger01 in Blackwater X99 build log   
    Build is done.
    Turns out the leak test outside was a good idea. Fitted everything in the case and no leaks
    Getting the air out was a challenge as this thing ways a ton and I should have thought about it while doing the design. Anyway it's done now. No on to stress testing and overclocking the thing.
    I'll need to add a light to the Reservoir as it's a bit dark now

    Here's a pic with flash:

    The botttom fan is one that came with the case and will need replacing as it's too noisy compared to the rest.
    For first time watercooling I'm pleased with the results - would I do certain things differentl, yes. Do I regret my decisions, not the least
    Thanks for reading

    Bean86 got a reaction from mikeeginger in Blackwater X99 build log   
    Probably not the most interesting build log ever but I had fun so far and thought might as well post what I got so done so far.
    Introducing Blackwater: specs see here
    I sold off my last system (i5 2500K, 16GB Ram, 256+512GB SSDs,2xTB HDDs Raid1) and started off with a Corsair 780T (the best I could get localy that would fit everything). This will change eventually as I don't like it very much - probably will go custom in a few years unless something that realy ticks all the boxes for me comes out by then. Really wanted something with a reverse motherboard tray or horizontal (although the later makes cases a bit too wide for my taste as it's sitting under my desk on tile floor).
    As I've bougth a Synology NAS 2 years ago I decided to have only SSDs for this build. A Intel 750 400GB as system drive and for now recycled the 512GB SSD from the old system. Will get 2x 512GB 850EVOs in Raid 0 over X-Mas and gift my Crucial to a friend who's running out of space.
    As temps in my office easily reach 25-30°C during summer I decided to go for a custom waterloop (first time watercooling, excluding AIOs) so I don't have to throttle back my overclock during the hotter season.
    To keep things silent I went a bit overkill and managed to source 2x EK XTX 60mm thick 360 radiators from old stock and half a dozen Noctua Industrial Fans. A Primochill CTR2 D5 (variable edition from Watercool) enabled reservoir will take care of water circulation. I wanted to get the red tube to match the red rigid PETG tubing but it was always out of stock so I opted for a frosted one and will illuminate it with a red LED.
    CPU and GPU waterblocks are from of Watercool and after sourcing some different screws I managed to use the stock EVGA backplate too
    So to fit the rads in the case all HDD cages had to go as well as the 5.25" bays (the later took some effort as it was riveted in place). If I ever go custom case I would make it so I could fit the two rad next to each other at the front. The 780T is technically wide enough to accomodate that idea but the design tappers at the front, top and bottom so I couldn't make it work without major surgery.
    Anyway enough typing on to pics
    tl|dr: building a custom watercooled PS here some pictures




    leak test after cleaning and flushing all the parts

    next will be final assembly inside the case - wish me luck
