Well on the two win machines I tested it on it was slower both for menus and brushstrokes (uber x64 machine and 3years old dinosaur aswell). It felt much more polished on the Mac, but I guess that's much easier to achieve? Yeah CB that's so annoying ... Anyways back to the topic of newer Max versions. Earlier this week I…
Matt Damon makes a poor assessment that doesn't really clarify his point that he's concerned about someone who thinks dinosaur bones were buried in the earth to test her faith having the necessary grounding in reality that the nation could rely upon her in a crisis.

I'm still using xnormal + photoshop. I'm a dinosaur. Don't copy me on this. I use substance designer / painter at work and sooner or later I'll switch over to that at home as well. Sorry for no-update bump, next post will have some content

I could be a dinosaur but real time cloth doesn't happen that often, and hardly ever on characters. Most of the cloth you see is being cheated with well placed bones. There are a few tutorials floating around that have bones follow cloth dynamics you set up and run in the 3D app of your choice, but they still relay on well…
