Re: Probably the best 3d thread ever posted:
A famous person once said to that an educated mind will entertain a thought but not act on it upon impulse. The truth is, I tried plenty of times in my life time to go along with the flow of an argument and entertain a thought, but found people are very quick to follow up with retorts or even demands that you follow… -
Re: I'm going to New York!
Yeah, there's so much to do it is retarded. Just whatever you do, avoid staying at the Hotel Pennsylvania! I can not stress this enough! Superb location (right across from Madison Square Garden), but OMG, I felt like I got lead poisoning from walking down the halls. The doors to the rooms LITERALLY look like coffins. I was… -

Re: Should companies figure out a different approach to the MMO?
MMOs are also pointy haired boss's favorite because "omg no pirates! all problems are solved!", although what most forget is that creating and maintaining a MMO is a heck lot of work, if you care about being successful and not just breaking even.

A "xGBR" would be as follows R: x (nothing/black) G: G (you… -
Re: Lost Thread - finale draws closer!
"WHERE'S MY BOY!!!!!11" <-- played out... now STOP IT Overall a good episode. It confirmed what I thought about Michael though. The gullible idiot is willing to sacrifice his friends lives for his son. He's already killed two people over this. When Hurley looked at him, I was hoping he was going to tell him, "you better… -
Re: Animating a breaking wave (rig)
Have any examples of the types of waves you want to create? Are we talking white caps or smaller rolling waves? Can you use particles at all? How close does the player/camera get to the waves and at what angle? Do the waves need to interact with anything other than themselves? Does it need to loop? Do the bones need to be… -
