You might swap out the i7 for an i5, the power difference shouldn't make too much of a difference outside of a few games (Arma 2 IIRC) and compiling stuff.

And 32 GB is over kill like Silicon said.

click on a star, move towards it, slow down the closer you get.

Or you can press g and it'll autopilot to it.

the heck does wysiwyg stand for?

Back in the days before Word if you wanted to write a office document with formatting it would look something like this (That's a webpage. Most document wouldn't of look quite that complex, but you get the idea). But along came various different people who developed editors that let you edit documents as so (That's the same page as the one above), which became known as a "What You See Is What You Get" editors and over time became mainstream.

Creativity / Re: The new and improved 3D model topic!

« on: January 24, 2013, 06:47:53 PM »

you posted the same picture twice

The first one is an edited version of the second one showing why his model looked too long.

Flip between them and you'll notice it. If you still don't see it take note of the slide's distance from the safety and slide release.

Edit

Looking good, A couple more things I noticed:

The trigger is a little oddly curved, it needs to be more of a perfect curve.
There's a funky little bulge that shouldn't be there by the trigger.
It could use some smoothing groups and seams, that would help with some of the nasty looking shading.

As for the render:

Cartridge's aren't completely gold colored nor are they nearly that shiny.
If your going for the silver look it could do with some better lighting contrast, take note of the way the guns reflect the light in these images: 1 2 3, where isn't reflecting light the silver is usually a bit darker in colour.
Also the textures seem a little too noise/high in contrast. You should barely be able to see the grains, and they usually go sideways instead of diagonally, and usually guns with silver plating are polished to be smooth. See 1 2 3

The reason the barrel looks long is because the slide is actually a little low.

Compare this (jinkaz's model) to this (real one)

It's a bit over smoothed (Dat hammer), the ejection port's facing the wrong way, and the grip safety seems to bulge out too much. But outside of that it looks good.

You want to talk about serious rotor wash. You wouldn't want a landing osprey to pass over you, that stuff chops up trees.


And then the exhaust sets the ground on fire, but that's another thing entirely.

just a thought

if marcem is filthy rich why do we start out with $400

shouldn't we have like $2000 at least

Because sharing it would be socialism and would undermine the very idea of American progress and freedom that he's trying to bring to Oregon.

Sheesh, and you have the nerve to call yourself an American.
