Re: fan speed seems too high on new system
well its an i9-9990k with a base speed of 3.6 GHz - when I set the maximum processor rate to 99 percent, it goes to about 3.43 GHZ, but if I turn it back to a 100 it goes to 4.68 GHZ immediately. so it must be intel turbo boost causing the problem there are no settings in my my bios for this , so this fix will have to do,… -

Re: Degree and College Advice
I'd argue less that the graphic design degree is necessary worthless, and more that it's too popular and there are simply far too many people who have them actively seeking the too few roles that are out there. At the last university I had any experience with, they had something like 60-100 graduates a year coming out of… -
Re: Rendering an Animation using Final Gather in Maya?
Animation is very tricky to do when dealing with final gathering points. I don't know how well it works, but normally for basic prop animation scenes (excluding simple camera movements) what I would normally do is this: Frame 0 > Build On Frame 1 > Freeze Frame [X] > Build Off Have build on at the first frame, then freeze… -
Re: [Lightmap Issue] - Huge difference on lightmaps depending on Level. [Solved]

Re: Maya to Max
Answering in backwards order: 3. Shift in Max is "copy" - ideally it'd do Extrude on faces too, but it doesn't, it just copies them. I'd recommend assigning a hotkey to Extrude, or putting it in your right-click menu. 2. Don't bother with Roadkill. What version of Max are you using? The UV tools have been great since Max 8… -
Re: UV layout techniques
I had 30min to kill so I rearranged the UV layout and even ended up with some extra space. It would have gone faster if I was working with the actual UV layout not an image, but whatcha gunna do /shrug. I think by just detaching the wings you will save yourself a TON of headache. I would also detach the nose cone as there… -
Need help picking out specific digits out of a long number, within a function?
Hey all, I am in need of a little bit of math advice. I have a need to take a really big number (10+ digits) and to get specific digits out of it. From a separate site, I saw this : a=1298 first2 = floor(a/100) second2 = rem(a, 100) in an example for trying to get the digits of the number 1298. But I'm not sure how this…
