Re: Stylistic CGFX Shader
Hmm..I'm not really sure about tho change it to use the channel 2, I'm not using channel 2 yet because simply I just don't know how to utilize multiple UV channel in Max, but I read in AREA forum they said usually using the map channel 2 for dirt map or something.

Re: Question about character creation workflow & retopology. Please help!
No, you're certainly not wasting your time. Character looks good. There are 2 workflows you can go with: 1 - Modular character: retop the base character and all the parts separately. This way you can swap out clothing in-engine for variation. Only rebuilding topology that will be seen(i.e - between his back and inside of… -
Re: Regular and Professional Graphic card
I had a Quadro card in my old work system. It was pretty decent for modeling in 3ds but playing games or previewing animations in the viewport forget it!

Quality vs Tech
I've been playing dragon age non stop over the last 2 days on my ps3, and its kickass. But the way in which it was ported has raised a few questions in my mind, mainly: is having so many textures applied to one object hurting the appearance of the object on lower end systems or consoles because of the needed downsizing in… -

Answered: Loads of bugs, with pictures, just like 1.8 or worse.
