Re: 3DS Max Questions (from a noob)
Hey Bartalon, and Butt, thanks for the help. Still no dice. Let me post my testing. Bartalon, I clicked on the viewport area where you can change the view mode (realistic, etc) and I don't see a "smooth" option. I posted a picture of what I do see.

Re: Noob question about smoothing techniques

Re: productivity time sink & barricades
Yup we use Max8, great ideas guys I'll look into all of that! Looks like I'll be chatting with our network admin, we have a funky set of permissions that are getting in my way.

Re: Colored Spec Maps.
Try this little experiment Incomitatum. In photoshop, take the layer that has your flesh tones in it, and duplicate it. Now hit ctrl+I to invert it. Notice it turns a bluish colour?
