I got the bones together for an folio-centric Wordpress theme over the weekend, inspired by an iPad presentation I had to put together recently. It's pretty much non-standard, so before I start ripping up the static HTML and working in all the PHP hooks, just thought I'd get some thoughts from you guys on how to improve…
Hey guys how is everybody doing? Hope you are all staying safe!! I have decided that it is good time to upgrade my work pc and would appreciate someone having a look at what i have picked in case something is totally off :) I am 3d character artist mostly working with hair as of lately so not really pushing the limits…
@authentic Thanks for trying to help. I took another look at Maya and it's actually not new to 2015, but only occurs in Viewport 2.0. So my problem is the feature where the manipulators change to super bright when manipulator handles are occluded by selected geometry. Anyone know a way to disable it? Oh btw a few other…
Couple of minor wishlist things for preferences: * It'd be great if we could set the format of exported images in preferences or somewhere. It's a little annoying to have to toggle it off bmp to something I actually use like tga. Also, it'd be great if it would remember the last folder where files were exported. Usually I…
I've wanted to create an open discussion on various shader crap for a while now, and with more people getting into authoring shaders it seems now's the time to make a thread in ye olde 2d/3d discussion forum To kick things off, first up, I've been tinkering around with hair and fur recently, created a pretty cool shell…

Lookin good! My only wishlist items remaining for Maya now are: 1: A better algorithm for the UV Smooth and/or Unfold UV's tools. They work, sorta, half the time. Smooth UV gets "stuck" on many types of projections and needs a lot of finessing. Unfold UV's only works somewhat reliably by constantly toggling the unfold…
Sometimes when feeling down due to a lack of progression, its good to remind yourself that we're working in an awesome industry, our jobs are fun, things aren't that bad :D Quick hypothetical - If you were to just drop working in games right now and take up another job that you loathed, say stacking shelves in a…
Per, don't give up on harassing them, particularly on their wishlist board. For several years straight I went over there and rallied the troops for basic cylindrical and planar mapping within Unwrap, and they finally listened to those of us crying for it after a few years. (Think it took two releases before they got to…
That MB uses phoenix bios which from modifying such doesn't allow much in the range of tweaks. So you cant manually adjust memory timing or say change the cpu timing (which helps add to the life a system when you can OC a cpu to still be somewhat competitive). I have been looking recently. I choose a MSI instead with its…
