I'm going to buy a new graphics card for my ASUS A7N8X-VM 400 Motherboard. It has an integrated
nVidia GeForce 4mx GPU, but I've decided it's time to upgrade cause I'm learning Maya
these days (also, all the new games need pixel shader support). What I'm worried about is which
graphics card is supported on my Motherboard. My motherboard supports 8x graphics 1.5V. Here are
some pics from the motherboard manual: Photos Gallery - PicTiger Does this mean
ABSOLUTELY ANY 8x graphics card will work with my motherboard? Does that include 2.0 ...

Hello, I have RPGMaker, and I require some Sprite Sets and Graphic sets for the system. Some
different tiles, and things like that. It's all pretty well 2D but if there are some 3D looking
graphics that can be applied to the tile-like format of RPGMaker I'd love to see that website.
Does anyone else have some suggestions to different RPG Creating Modules? Or perhaps other ideas on
programs that can create RPG Gaming formats all together? I only have ideas at this stage so any
help would be appreciated. I'm not really trying to make a game for millions m...

I have finally decided to get a dedicated Graphics card for my PC. My budget is around 300 USD. I
have been going through the models at nVidia's website and found the models (8600 GT & 9600 GT)
to my liking. My friend suggests that I should go for 8800 because it provides greater performance
than 9600 GT. To me, perfomance is not as big a factor as compatibility, in terms of being able to
play the latest games, is. In that respect is it better to go for the chip which offers higher
memory? My motherboard is Intel 915GAG which supports PCI Express. Will a model stated...

Everyone remembers the legend of the "FFVII" game? Well they are making a prequel to the game
staring Zack as the main character. And Im definitely getting this game, because I love the FF VII
series. I hope this game will be as good as the game I called a legend, because it sets a standard
for a lot of rpgs out there today. Well here is a article on the game off a site, this is info about
the game during E3 of this year. QUOTE LOS ANGELES--Square Enix showed off what it called a
"Compilation of Final Fantasy VII," which is a collection of products set in the Fin...

and many other. Check the tutorial here: DRAWING FOR CLASSICAL ANIMATION ...

make your computer run a little faster. You can shut off the animation displayed when you minimize
and maximize Windows. 1. Open RegEdit 2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control panel
\Desktop\WindowMetrics 3. Create a new string value "MinAnimate". 4. Set the value data of
0 for Off or 1 for On this should put less stress on your graphics card if you have an older
computer....

Hello there! I have experience in flash through art classes in school, and Being a 16 year old
on a low budget, I was curious if there were any flash like programs out there for free? I know free
is pushing it lol... but Im desperate and my creative imagination needs to be released. I'm just
looking for something that has the basic feel and capabilities of flash. Im looking for something
that will be vector based, will animate, and will allow sounds to be added into the background!
Any information would be awesomely appreciated! Thanks much!...

Welcome, Many people feel they want to learn animation and want to do those animated effects. Most
people think animation is very hard, but the fact is it isn’t at all. I thought that if I created a
tutorial it would help people ion this situation to understand these basics of animation and how
easy it really is once you spend some time with the piece of software you use whether it’s
Macromedia MX Flash or something else, I use ImageReady, part of Adobe Photoshop and is very useful
for animating. I wrote this tutorial for beginners wanting to learn the basics of Animati...

Hey everyone! I'm just calling out to any graphic making hobbyist who wants to help with
making graphics for my game. You will be making modern war/ruined landscape sprites and you will
have to make about 8-10 of them depending on some circumstances. You will not be payed for your work
however you will be mentioned in the credits of my game. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated,
since this project relies on good sprites. An good example of something similar to what you would be
making is Here. Only it would be more ruined and war like. If you are at all inte...

want - any picture, any animation etc. For example, you have found a good video clip of russian
group "VIA Gra" you are expressed, but you want to see a little bit different actions with members

HI all, This is what my plan is... We've got hundreds of posts on good graphics and design
site links all spread across multiple posts, some of which just age out and fall to the bottom of
the list and then there are reposts on the same topic again. My plan is to come up with some such
good lists with contributions from all of you. But instead of having the links spread across
multiple posts or replies to this topic, I'll merge your posts into ONE BIG POST with all the
links presented serially - making it much easier for our readers to find out...as well as...

Alrighty, Someone had some interest in this sig i created where a window slides back and forth
showing a clear part of a blurred picture. So i figured i would make a tutorial out of it. We
start off in photoshop. Create a new blank picture thats 500x100. Next add whatever you would like
to the canvas.. this is the picture i will be using: Now that you have you picture ready, save
it as a jpeg, and call it clear. Now that you have saved that, in photoshop go to
image>adjustments>desaturate. This will make your image black and white. Once you have done that,
go t...

I'm looking into upgrading my motherboard and graphics card, but am not sure of the brands out
there or what to look for. I'm a regular gamer, so I want something that will handle the
upcoming games (Bioshock, Alan Wake, and the like). I currently have a 2.4 ghz Pentium 4, with an
ATI Radeon x800 pro (256 meg). It's playing Half-Life 2 well enough, but some of the newer games
are lagging, and it annoys me /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:"
