Re: Help on game development.
You are aiming too high at first - too much information to process all in one go when it seems you might be lacking the basics. Building an environment takes a team of artists a considerable amount of time. So start small! No, not as one mesh. Model a road section. Model a pavement section. Model all the possible joins -… -
Re: New Member, just saying Hello
Welcome to Polycount dude. You should definitely choose a specific area you want to specialize in. Most studios won't be looking for a guy who can do environments, characters and animation (I'm sure its a bonus if you can do all three really well).

Re: Maxscript skin help
Yay! That sorted it. In the interest of meing nice, here is the script too. Why did I write this? Well, max 7 has a skin weight mirror facility.

Re: Problem with textures turning low res in UE3
We just had the very same discussion over at gameartist.net (UE3 Texture Quality ), so I just copy my take on this: " When you assign your textures in UE3 you will see the uncompressed, unclamped original texture displayed in the editor. Once you save the texture it gets compressed so when you reopen the scene the new,… -
