Best way to clone stamp out normal map seams with partially rotated uv's.
I came across a particularly troublesome model at work recently. I was asked to fix the seams on a rock model's normal map. It turned out the seam was not caused by the baked normal map, but by the 2D overlay map that was applied to create some nice high frequency noise. Unfortunately the rock's UV layout was authored like… -

Showing off a mesh to best advantage?
My biggest problem to date on showing off a mesh has been I have no clue how to properly render it, so that the Normal Map and Specular Maps show up well. I use 3DS Max r7.

Best computer chair for modeling all day?
I'm looking to replace my desk chair that I bought for 4 pints off a friend a year back. Was wondering what the community had to say in regards to their favorite desk chair for modeling all day.
