Re: Ancient City Environment
Yea loving the work you've packed into this. Keep up the awesome work! About Ivy generators, I've seen very mixed results with them for games. They work ok if you plan to bake the ivy into a texture and stay pretty far away from it, it works better if its dead ivy with very few leaves and mostly just vines. They don't do a… -
Re: Lame: 3ds max gizmo is gone
And if you haven't already, reboot. If that doesn't, rename 3dsmax.ini to something else (like 3dsmax.ini.bak, or just 3dsmax.bak) and see if that fixes it. -

Re: Head Modeling Issues
The "plane method" could be referring to edge extrusion from a single place as r_fletch_r described, or it could also be the method where you create the face in the front view and then proceed to pull things back in the side view to give it depth.

Re: Swizzle's thread of stuff and things
