I would like to use this model in home.  Both as a good sized ship for the space environment and one for a shelf....maybe bread box sized.Here is the file.  It is in max format.  Some textures had to be separate due to size constraints.

Anyone else here received a PM from a member who has no posts requesting you to contact them via their gmail account?Just asking :wink:

I've been very loosely following Intel's plan to jump into the GPU market since the rumors started flying a couple of years ago. I somehow missed the fact (Only really saw headlines) that Raja Koduri (former AMD GPU division head) is leading it up which comes with its own conflicts for me. He was the AMD head for this generation of AMD GPU's and likely shares responsibility for their failure. I still vividly remember him boasting about the performance of the Vega and it didn't come close to the hype. This article from a couple of days ago has some pretty interesting tidbits about intel's long term plans.https://www.pcgamer.com/intel-video-teases-photorealism-and-other-discrete-gpu-goals/Intel dropped a few hints at what it's working towards. One of those things is photorealism. Intel graphics boss Raja Koduri laid out his vision for the future, which includes "photorealistic immersive worlds" and "games with virtual worlds that are as large as this entire universe."So I'm wondering, ju

I used to have a rule that said I would build a new PC every 5 years and that I would get all the highend stuff. My last build was around £1200, but now when I look to build a new PC, it's just far to expensive to get all the highend gear. So now I think my new comp builds are going to be every 10 years by the looks of things. 

I was looking to get a HDR television this year, but after reading this it seems like it's a nightmare to setup. Anyone else had problems setting HDR up in games with Windows 10?https://www.engadget.com/2019/01/27/hdr-setup-explainer/?guccounter=1

I wanted to bring this to the attention of anyone who may, like me, have preferred Firefox (nee Mozilla) over the years, but feel it's got a bit of a bloat-on in recent years.I went looking for an alternative and tried all the main opposition to Firefox and none of them really offered what I wanted.It was purely by chance that I stumbled across Waterfox - I'd never heard of it before, but now I use it as my main browser, with Firefox also installed for banking and shopping etc.Here's the 'official' spiel:Waterfox was started back in March 2011 by myself (Alex Kontos), a 16 year old student. I had a fascination for the web and wanted to help expand on the ideals of what Mozilla had for a free and open web. And so I decided to make Waterfox, a 64-Bit browser based on Mozilla's free and open source platform.Waterfox was one of the first widely distributed 64-Bit browsers on the web and quickly gained a loyal following. At a time Waterfox had one thing in mind: speed, but now Waterfox also

Now THAT headline has GOT to get your attention.  LOL!!!!!I purchased two Raspberry Pi Canakits from Amazon Canada. ( https://www.amazon.ca/CanaKit-Raspberry-Starter-Premium-Black/dp/B07BCC8PK7/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1546727480&sr=8-6&keywords=canakit+raspberry+pi+3+b%2B ) and made one a Retropie Build and one a Pi-Hole build. ( For more information on Pi-Hole look here: https://pi-hole.net/ )I may be an excellent builder and storekeeper but I know next to nothing about networking.  Setting DNS and IP addresses makes my head swim.  Does anyone here know anything about that and what I am doing wrong with that software?here is the Pi-Hole Log if anyone is interested.This process collects information from your Pi-hole, and optionally uploads it to a unique and random directory on tricorder.pi-hole.net.The intent of this script is to allow users to self-diagnose their installations. This is accomplished by running tests against our software and providing the use

If anyone still hasn't picked up Subnautica yet, you will be able to get it free at the new Epic Games store soon. Epic games is launching a new store in competition to Steam and others. They will be giving away a free game every 2 weeks from Dec 2018 through 2019. Hey, if it's free...why not!!!https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/

pinball in VR is cool, however i wanted a way to play my complete collection of tables in a more authentic way..... so now i have this to complement my MAME arcade machine.https://drive.google.com/file/d/17fKjel0iRH-tUPomx-QB7D0ILokBAmXiXg/view?usp=sharinghttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1bGhJ0gZeBpCH2RjY5AT1dPhBxkyPjcEj4g/view?usp=sharingIt is from a real salvaged pinball table and has some solenoids and real LEDS rigged up to make it feel more authentic (and it does a pretty good job).  The software still needs tweaking but all my 60 pinball FX3 tables work on it, and about 40 or so real world visual pinball X tables work 100%.unlike my arcade machine i did not build this one myself from scratch, i just dont have the time any more.The only downside is i will no longer have a 3m x 3m vr game space but i hope it will still be big enough.PS the appalling position of the rift sensor on my arcade machine is because i have not reset up my sensor system yet since moving the arcade from

I'm going to use this opportunity for a shameless plea to have a VR table top strategy game like this. It would be so cool to play toy soldiers with CoH animations and campaigns in VR. Please, please, please!Anyway, Company of Heroes 2 if free to download and keep over on Steam, until Monday. If you haven't played this game, don't miss out.

Any thoughts on this. I know some of you guys have a projector like me. Except, I've not used mine in years. So maybe it's time to upgrade?https://www.optoma.co.uk/product-details/uhl55?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niWuVJWSPLISmall and light enough to move from room to room, this new projector has everything in one box including integrated speakers and a host of connection options such as WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI and MHL. Bluetooth functionality means external speakers, headphones or a keyboard and mouse can be connected cable-free. It can even play content directly from a USB memory stick via its 4K UHD media player.UHL55 key features4K UHD resolution and HDR compatibleLED technology – 30,000 hours light source lifetimeVoice control - Amazon Alexa supported deviceFeature packed - built in media player, WiFi and Bluetooth (can also be used as a Bluetooth speaker)Easy installation - Auto focus and auto keystoneDigital connectivity – 2x HDMI, Audio out, S/PDIF, USB wireless Alexa, U

Yesterday I had this Microsoft photo app thing that I don't want, need and never asked for, pestering me about how I wanted to sort my photographs and screenshots. Apparently, 224MB worth had been uploaded to this OneDrive that gets shoved on us, also whether we want it or not, with Win10 and has been made a bit more rude (as in "in your face") in the latest big "feature update" that we have no choice about installing. Okay - we could just stay offline forever but that ain't gonna happen, right? I actually looked into this because I was hoping it would give me some control over the start-up pictures that MS shows on my PC when signing in to Windows (it didn't).Anyway, I went along to MS' own help site to find out how to ditch this unwanted and intrusive app (it did upload my photos and screenshots of its own volition, without so much as a "by your leave" after all...). Needless to say, they don't include an uninstall option - they want you to use their apps and tough if you don't like

Hello!I want to ask, where do you live in your country? In a big city or small? Maybe capital?For example, I live in Lithuania in second biggest city in my country, Kaunas. Wondering what is the different between living in the capital and not? In my country renting a flat in capital is very expensive, but also salaries are higher. And another pluses like night life and so on.. Any opinions to share? :)Thanks !

I really like the look of Red Dead Redemption 2, so much so that I'm thinking about getting a Playstaion 4 Pro just to play it. Would you say the game is good and is it worth getting a Playstation 4 pro for? I might even get PS-VR when they knock the £100 of it like there going to soon. Also, I've heard good things about the game The Last of Use. What do you reckon are Platstaion 4 Pro's worth getting?

 I seem to recall that in the past, when you pasted in a link to a YouTube video on these forums, it would automatically embed that video into the forum discussion, now it only places a link. I know embedding  is still possible since I see others doing it. How do you embed a video rather than just placing a link? Example:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H2EIsnr_cv4
