Re: 3ds max procedural texturing
Personally I say pony up its worth it. That's not 100% procedural, he uses photos and hand painting also. He uses a lot of custom materials that aren't included in max from a few different places which may or may not be free. The standard shaders in 3dsmax are pretty easy use and kind of lame... but you can pull off some… -

Sketchbook: Gyzmotnik (A-Z of D&D)

Re: The Agony of learning without a mentor
Things got complicated. I might have to drop out of the Intro to Modeling class at a local community college before it starts. I got cast as a recurring extra for a new TV show. I play a uniformed police officer, possibly for next few months, possibly all the way to next May. Well, at least I am supposed to work 2~3 days a… -

Re: Your thoughts on the current state of the workshop/DOTA2Store
If the cut pays off, then I could care less. I just don't see how a standard of 50% CAN pay off for most deals. Of course, determining percentages should be handled on a case by case basis, but it's also good to just talk about this - it's raising awareness for artists about what the standards are and how they can best…
