Just listened to it in the background. The issue is I saw too many people agreeing and not enough criticism to those who proposed and backed a Union. No one mentioned: -Right to work States. -The inability of people in say China to be legally able to form a union. (Mentioned but ignored (especially the last guy who claimed…
@fuzzzzzz - Yes, killing the preview handler surrogate host process will work. I'm surprised killing windows explorer doesn't. I supplied this feedback to the Windows team, and I encourage everyone who encounters windows 10 problems to use the Windows 10 Feedback tool. You can provide win10 feedback at any time by…
Ghostscape's method is fine if your mesh is all planar, flat surfaces. If there's any curved surfaces they will remain faceted when you subdivide with smooth switched off. An alternative is to use the Zbrush "crease edge" function in the tool>geometry panel. You can either use it with a global tolerance (the "Ctolerance"…
It should, but you've got hard edges where you don't need any. As for the shitty bake, I'm pretty sure it's because your cage is wrong - did you give it some global extrusion by editing the cage in xN's viewport? You should have use cage ticked and Use Exported Normals selected on the lowpoly in xN. I think you're not…

Some times you are just creatively dead and can't bring yourself to work, no? Video games usually help with that, Finding some way to get around a map that I swear…
They have to be .DIB or .XPM format. I usually convert TGAs to XPM using Autodesk's "imgcvt" utility that comes with Maya. It should be runnable from any location since it's in the global Maya path, you can just do the following: 1. Start -> Run -> "cmd" 2. Navigate to your icons folder ( DOS style command like "cd…
Thanks for all the comments guys! @maxivz: Cheers! The materials really aren't anything special. I can share the material I use for the floor in my next update. :) @skyline5gtr: It's a simple directional light yeah, but I'm using a bunch of filler lights to emulate global illumination. @Stromberg90: Thanks for the…
re: autohotkey: it might depend on the windows version you're using but at least here in win7 i have an autostart folder. dump any shortcut to an executable in there and it gets launched when you log on. i'd be surprised to hear they don't have that or equivalent functionality in 8 or 10 anymore. re: undo in zbrush there…
