This is the first comic done with the new system and software upgrades. For the 3d people out there in the audience: Requiem is currently being composed on Carrara 7.2 with the Transposer Plugin. (Tied in to Poser 6/with Poser 7 for scene composition.) Comics are assembled with dialogue panels in Fireworks CS3.
System-wise, we are currently on a 2.8ghz, core i7 system with 8gbs of RAM and 2 Terabytes of storage. As for the OS, we are humming along on Windows 7 Professional 64bit. As for 7? I absolutely love it. It definitely makes up for the Vista debacle. It’s fast as hell, smooth as hell, and once the initial adjustment period is over, it’s pretty easy to use.
The only thing I wish right now is that I could actually show these comics at their full print resolution. They look incredible these days.
Sweet system, Alienware or Asus and what graphics card are you using? You’ve got me by a terabyte of storage and an i7 to an i5. I’m not as happy with 7 as you are but I never had the Vista mess I went from XPPro to 7. Anyway your software beats the H out of mine trying to learn DAZ with Carrara 6 and Gimp.
Dell actually for the system, and the graphic card is a 1gig Nvidia.
I went from XP Pro to & Pro here, with a detour of using Windows 2003 Server as a workstation. I stayed far away from Vista.
I went with Asus the only thing I don’t like is going to have to upgrade the Video Card to Nvidia comes stock with a shared memory Intel graphics accelerator card. I got the C6 out of the book, “Figures, Characters and Avatars” Still trying to work through the basics of Daz this is the first time I have ever tried anything in graphics. Always before I stayed with written prose.
Oh, and I was on Carrara 5 for a long time (the Eovia version)
I didn’t step up to c6 until I got a free copy in a magazine called Digital Arts, from there I upgraded through DAZ to 7.2
Does this mean we get 3 books all at once :)?
I wish
I’m pulling all of that stuff out of the archives right now, with the intent on getting the back to work on it. It’ll be nice not to have to worry about disk space anymore
