In Maya 2009 at least, when an object is set to Live, you can snap things to it. So if you set your arm to be Live, you should be able to snap the vertices of whatever object you want to conform to it to the arm.

Essentially, New-Age Bigotry on what is a 'unsullied'…
Its more scaling than clamping, but yes you'd use a histogram to see where your peak values lie. The roughness range really matters actually. And yes it varies but not by a huge amount. This isn't specifically roughness like "Its been scratched up", its roughness like, "Its molecular structure at the boundary between the…
Heya and welcome to yet another PARPG news update! This one will be rather short and not so picture-heavy as the last ones. Most of us have been pretty busy lately, so the number of topics to write about is rather small. First and foremost: we found out that shipping the upcoming techdemo release of PARPG in 2009 is not…
Thanks for all the feedback and help! I'm still mostly experimenting with things, this item for instance is a lot better than my last one, and I hope to improve even more on the next. Here's the log: Starting compile of dark_seer_head_test2...Compiling TGA:…
