It's not dedicated to Perforce, but it is one of the uses I intend for it. I have also had plans of a render farm for a few years now and have never had the finances. The only reason we are using Perforce is because it comes integrated into UDK for free. We've had it "working" on our web host, but the way they handle connections causes it to only stay connected for a few minutes at a time if that. Again though, my reasons should really be irrelevant.

Lol yeah, it was my first mod ever submitted, and I got reviewed by @@Averus Retruthan .....just my luck XD he is like the Simon Cowell of mod reviewers. But in all honesty, it was shit XD

Oh god, does anyone remember when I made these nightmares....mother of god I was terrible. http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/TFU_Starkiller_Model;93881 http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Ratchet_and_Clank;93126 http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Inuyasha;92572 http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Emperor_Kisu;95525 http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Ember_McLain;95212 My how I have improved, Liara T'Soni (click to view in 3D)

Do we REALLY need to re-live Stallbot? lol It "could" be done, but it would require edits to the theme, and Caelum worked so hard getting it looking good, I'd rather not go messing around in it. Were it my forum I'd totally take a crack at it, given that I have done IP.Board theme-work, but since it isn't, I won't toy with it.

@@Circa , @@AshuraDX, you guys have your staff badges now. Just took care of it.

My god this makes me feel old. I can only imagine how @@Inyri feels. Old woman

Abracafreakindabra, it is now possible. The tagging users based on type is not, but you *should* be able to filter users by type now. Edit your profile to take a look and set yours.

Make sure you go back and read where I edited my post, the "summoning" idea would really only work via groups methinks. Which would require a metric fuck-ton of groups, plus all the permission work that goes along with them, and they'd have to be managed. But as far as for profile customization, could be done. I could be wrong though, I have only mild experience with IP.Board since Helical started using it too. Wait and see what @@Fighter has to say.

Would be easy enough, can add a custom profile box via the ACP, shouldn't harm the theme or anything. Best option would be to have a dropdown box for them to pick from. Hell, depending on how many options were needed, I could do it in a matter of minutes. Only other way to do it without adding anything is via "Titles" but then you have to change user permissions and what not. Plus we already use those for staff, and they aren't done via dropdown choices, so people could put whatever they want in there (I.E. JKHub Staff) EDIT: I should point out that the whole "summoning" thing, wouldn't work that way....might work via groups but then we are getting into permissions and flexibility issues again. EDIT2: OT: @@ChalklYne hard to get a feel for your organic animation, but you seem to be a pretty good animator, it is fairly smooth overall. Not sure how doable it is in XSI (particularly with the older versions and Modtool) but the fix for wonky cameras, usually caused by rapidly repositioning, is to cut between multiple cameras placed in a scene instead. In Maya I think there is more than one way to do it, I used to use MELscript, but we also have a camera sequencer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfLIv2ttNkc

I did some googling while I had downtime at the office, So far I am liking this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144234 Case comes with an installed 500W power supply, so no need to change that as long as we don't exceed it Looks like I could probably fit this guy in there without too much difficulty, and it only asks for a 400W minimum: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-2653-KR And I've already stated I'll be throwing 16GB ram into it, not sure what kind yet. So far (not really counting in rebates and potential taxes and shipping) looking at like $200, which is a fraction of what I spent on my desktop.

I personally am no longer working that much. I only work 40 hrs per week now, but the same cannot be said for everyone else necessarily. And unfortunately I cannot do everything myself, certainly not in an efficient manner. A big reason for the new one is as I said a Perforce server, my current one produces far too much heat in my apartment to be left on all the time. EDIT: My reasoning for getting it/what Helical is up to, are both irrelevant to this topic. If we want to discuss that you can either start a topic on it, or contact me. I just want hardware recommendations for good power and performance in small size.

Well it should be noted that I don't handle our social media most of the time. But we have to juggle both our first development project as well as administrative level stuff as a starter company. Those types of things are important to a young company, especially one with no revenue. I can assure you that much more is happening than appears publicly. But as I have stated before, we are all adults that work full-time jobs and in some cases have college courses on top of Helical. Hell one of our animators is known to work 12 hr shifts, and up until recently I was doing the same. We are so slow because we are very much having to keep this a very expensive hobby for the time being. I assure you that we would all be happy to be able to do it for our living. But this computer is mostly to serve as a development and testing rig. Also a localized small server for Perforce as we've had issues getting it to work on our web host.

I'd like to keep work and play separate. And while I would just do a full size computer like the one I have. My apartment doesn't have the space.

Definitely, already have that in my current PC. But I also have an 8 core processor, which is a little uncalled for I would think.

Title is pretty self explanatory. I am looking at here in the not so distant future building a second PC. I don't intend for it to be as insane as my current one. But I want to get a significant amount of power in a small a space as I can. My hope is to build it in a horizontal case even if I have to modify said case to make it all fit. Looking for input on the parts I should go for. Cost isn't a huge deal as I have been known to drop over $800 on a single part. I would like to avoid any international shipping costs though. (I'm US based for those that don't know)

EDIT: I made this special, just for you.

I wouldn't really accuse him of necro-ing the thread, since the last post was only about 2 weeks ago.

If they're like the people I work for, they have it on an intranet for a reason. They probably want to limit external access. From the looks of that you had to get permission to access it from your phone, so I imagine you would need to inquire about home PC use. If they won't tell you how, then I imagine they don't want you doing it...at which point continued pursuit of a means to do so, might not be in your best interest.

Also cause it amuses me. It just exists, and i don't know why, but it is where I got the gif.

Cause it amuses me.

Gabe Newell actually. http://www.gabenewell.org/ <--relevant.

I haven't touched my Wii in probably 6 months...I was unaware this was no longer a thing.

Sounds about right. Also every time someone necros a thread (their own or not), I kill a kitten.

I'm familiar with chroma keying and greenscreen from the 2 years I spent interning in a TV studio, more recently I have started trying my hand at special effects for indie movies, though I work in After Effects.
