Ok... so I had a silly little idea for a thread. Someone (in this case ME) begins by posting a picture that "represents" a band or artist, sort of like those pics where theres 50 bands hidden in symbols and whatnot sort of deal. The one who guess the right band first is next up to draw his/hers. Oh. Any media is allowed,…
Already some years I work with vertex color under Maya and it will create shit render with the x-ray mode in the viewport. I would like to know if there is a solution about it or I have to create a patch detecting if there is vertex color and I switch on the vertex color transparency. Let me know.... Thanks! :)
I went for a couple of weeks, first stop was Bangkok. Went to the royal palace which was pretty cool. Theres a square there where you can get some really green curries and feed the thousands of cat fish in the canal: http://www.travelkris.com/wall/Thailand1280.jpg…

Recently decided I'd upgrade from a 3 yr old small 13" Sony laptop to an even smaller 13" ultrabook (hp envy 13"). Its stupidly better except for the fact Maya is now for ants only on the 2k display. Has anyone else encountered this, any solutions, or shall I just accept fate and return the laptop? For the record I've…
cool reel! I agree with Mad though, drop that purple orange and red beveled text. It almost seems ironic to have it there, but i think you could come up with a better design/visual motif :) during the 3rd bit, the hand-cam piece, the static goes on for about 3 seconds too long. Would rather see it static for a second or…

I am not sure why and what caused it, but max2009's dx9 shaders only send the "u" coordinate in all .fx shaders for the first texcoord set.
