Re: 3ds max >> motion capture and freeform animation
The max viewport gizmo is kind of weird. There is a drop down in the main toolbar that allows you set the viewport pivot to local space. What this allows you to do, is see on the bone in the viewport which axis is doing what. If its set to anything else but local and you rotate it on X it might move on Y and Z in the curve… -

Re: Updating MSI gaming laptop to win11? TPM 2 is absent?
Proceed with caution I got screwed with a 5950x with a motherboard that supports tpm2 I'm now £500 down and running a 5800xt on a worse motherboard cos the system is bricked. No good reason but it's dead. You need a specific disk partition type (gpt) for win11 as well as tpm2 and to be using uefi bios. If any of that's… -

Re: Multiverse: roll your own MMO
You do if you want. And who said you needed to have 10,000 customers to be successful? Most MMO's require the latency of a dialup connection to function well because the combat doesn't require player locations to be sent over the network. So say you developed a game for free(devils advocate) and charged $10(low but… -
Re: How do Americans reconcile the concept of bootstraps with being a nation of fatasses?
Maybe its different where you're at, maybe I live in a small farm friendly state, but local produce is actually cheaper at produce outlets. The chains grocery stores that that sell the exact same local produce mark it up and sell it as a niche item. But you don't have to pay the mark up and you don't have to buy local, you…
