Not exactly bullshit... it could happen. I was going to write this up (basically), but someone already did in a comment: You buy a company and you sign retention agreements for key employees, i.e. the team. These employees have HUGE financial incentive to stay so they do. 3 or 5 or 7 years later depending upon the…
I honestly can't believe after 4 pages, you people are still discussing the "pod under the plane theory". About the structure of the WTC. It's very possible that the force of the plane's impact, along with the fire, and the dynamic force of the building...led to the collapse of the building. So an attachment to a plane is…
1. Yep, what Funky Bunnies said - optionVars are the way to do it. 2. I use tokenize all the time... hopefully not because I'm doing something wrong :) But for example if you want to extract the vertex index as an int from "pCube1.vtx[21]" which is a string, so tokenize it into an array with "[]" as the split characters,…
Although the 3Gb tweak can be useful, it can make your system unstable. In fact, many graphics drivers have severe problems with that. Just consider to switch to a 64-bits OS and CPU. 32 bits is soooooooo 2000... About the lock ups there are some possible causes: 1. Your system in unstable. Just run a 24h MemTest for…

I don't keep files on my SSD only programs so it would probably be instant if i did XD. I have 4 hard drives…
There's a pretty easy and completely correct (from mathematical point of view) method to combine two normal maps in PS. Say, layer A is basic NM, layer B is detail NM. So to put detail from B over A you have to do the following steps: 1. Clone layer B - B2 2. Go to blue channel of B2 and fill it with neutral gray. 3. Set…
It's interesting how they (Activision Blizzard) are doing to the CoD series that they did to the Guitar Hero series. You'd think they'd learn what saturating the market with a product can do, utilizing multiple studios to do so, the first time it went sour. However!This situation is a pretty good example of the real…
The arms are sticking out rather spaghetti-like. Where are the latissimus dorsii? The shoulder could also do with a bit more defined shape. Be it a sharp ride because of the stitching (see image) or more defined muscle (especially bringing in the shoulder and adding a dimple above the triceps) - it needs some slight vertex…
