Hi all. After years of doing everything from indie games, teaching game development and working on virtual environment productions, I developed a serious itch to go back to my roots and focus on 3d modeling. I'm starting this project in my spare time, inspired by this incredibly wonderful concept of Garing3 Besides looking…
UPDATED! 9/9/2012 First of all, congratulations to all my friends back at ArenaNet on Guild Wars 2's success!

So like I suspected, the last thing done was probably to capture the shadows only. Unparenting the meshes solved the issue, though I coulda sworn I…
That's sick! Your normals are definitely doing their job. I could have sworn you actually had polys in a few places that you do not. Looking forward to seeing the finished piece.
Oh snap! Check out the daily deals they have up today! It's everything that was on sale earlier, and a heaping spoonful of other titles and bundles as well. The Legacy of Kain bundle is a no-brainer for me.
I mean I pledged a small amount but I didn't get the rank, so I was wondering if there's something I should do that I've not done. Basically what Spoon said:
