For screen-sharing, is there a way to output at a different (smaller) resolution than your viewing resolution? (Also, is it possible to do this with Google Hangouts? My monitor is 52" and as a resolution of 3840 x 2160. When I screen-share with google-hangouts: with my current resolution, my screen will not be readable for…
Hi all, I was wondering if people could help me out and fill in a questionnaire for my University work to do with aesthetics of game characters. I'm studying Multimedia at the moment, nearly finished my final year and only last year decided to follow the games design path so I am anxious about posting here, my work isn't…
I'm an hobbyist so I don't have tons of knowledge about this topic but, https://youtu.be/Nn7mISvVzJk?t=52s (watch up to the 3 minute mark to understand the gist of my question).

If your company is working with a few standard sized skeletons (ie, not 50 different unique monstrous creatures),…

I have something like that in one of my script. I have called that the memory selector. You can add/remove some components selected and reselect them later. If you can't wait, you can download it here (the +/- buttons and the select/clear button) :…
