For the circle tool you mentioned, I would use one or several of the curve tools and the curve tool options such as rebuild curve, you can then choose polygons for the geometry output in case you were trying to build a pipe or tube prop etc. For the "even spaced edge loop" tool problem, if you go to insert edge loop in the…
I think all the guitar controllers are like that. It takes a while to get used to. I think they're trying to eliminate the clicking noise the GH controllers make when you're laying down quick 1/8th notes. I think it's a little more hardcore since it sort of tries to get you to use proper strumming technique (up/down). I…
mop, the reason max converts it to an 8 bit image is becasue max can only read 8 bits per channel. zbrush exports image files useing 16 or 32 bits per channel.. thus your displacement map is 16-32 bits, but if take it into photoshop you will notice it only has one channel, this is why you have to convert the image to rgb,…
@Dataday just to correct, VGA is capable of higher transfer rate than hdmi, true the screen is 1440 x 900 but the monitor is 19inch it's not really big enough or necessary to fit the display res of 1920 x 1080, but it's still bigger than 720p. It's not full HD no, but it has an equally good and or better visual connector…

Maybe you can try other familiar programs also relying on middle mouse button and see how your mouse behaves in there? Middle mouse button scroll in Firefox, zoomed aim in Q3A... I believe Max relies on something very basic and standard for this (but unfortunately, not editable...) [Edit] Wait a minute... Was reading…
Shoot, I completely forgot to respond to this. Sorry :( I know that you're only supposed to use as many as needed. I'll use some pictures to better illustrate what I'm wondering about. In the top row I'm packing faces into as little numbered groups as possible. In the bottom I'm placing each into its own for better…
This is very nice start. There are some things you have to watch out for though. I dont know how far you are in this so I will just mention the things that I notice. First the cushioning needs a little work. Its seems like you put in the buttons and then started to model the cushion part outward. However if you think about…
Are you sure you haven't filled your object with a material ('M' button or 'MRGB' buttons selected)? Cryrid suggested doing a fill with flat color (to remove the 'm' data which could be baked in but if you fill without either of those buttons toggled it probably wont remove the baked mat (if there is any). As Cryrid also…
Just want to add my own two cents: On its own merit the Intuos is a great product but compared to the Bamboo create, you're basically paying $150 more (asuming you get the same size) for some extra buttons and pen tilt. I honestly couldn't put the tablet buttons to use. There simply aren't enough on the tablet to hotkey…
