I agree. Ken, thanks for being highly visible in the community and by that I mean with the area blog, webinars, and active on several forums not just here. It really goes a long way in clearing away a lot of the nerd rage that pops up. We probably demand a lot and push you guys in 20 different directions at the same time…
I'm struggling and have been struggling with this very problem for a while now. I'm past Uni (I was great there); my motivation and interest left me while in my first and still current job. I got lazy and complacent and yeah... I'm still working that first job. I'm also in a similar spot in that I'm trying to get into game…
Hi everyone, How can one with a great idea can make something out of it ? And by something I DO NOT mean money. I DO mean though, seriously, how can one turn this idea into a project by gathering talented artists and producing something "community created" ? I suppose this question has been asked trillions of times since…
Here's a little something that I've been working on in Blender. This is actually my first sculpted piece, as I've never gotten my hands on any other poly-sculpt software. The overall model is upwards of 800,000 triangles. At that level, the system starts to chug a little bit. (enough to be noticeable, and a little…
Hey Mop, I tested your Script out this morning and... I am a monster! Rar! :( It isn't working 100% for me but, I see the light!

Hey all, I have two serious problems with 3ds Max 7 that are currently rendering the software non-functional. The first is that whenever I select anything out of any menu, the program locks up. It doesn't crash, and the rest of my computer still functions (i.e. I can kill max via the Task Manager) but max simply stops…
EQ, I'm not sure about the first link, its the Mobo I ordered =/ I'm not a big fan of EVGA mobos (great video cards tho) for two reasons: 1) The on board audio they put on their boards, sucks. I've actually had the box say Realtek but I got some other generic chip their drivers didn't support. I found this out about a year…
The Monolith is a film ive been working on for about 6 months now, ive been going to bradley academy for the visual arts for animation, ive been learning 3ds max but have since branched off cause its just never enough and ive had my eyes open to this entire world of the most creative people i have ever seen, so many people…
[ QUOTE ] I didn't know what unsigned vs. signed means, so I asked one of the programmers here. Here's how he explained it to me. I added emphasis to highlight the meat of the issue... "Actually, we do use signed textures for normal maps, although we dont support loading them at the moment. The unsigned normal maps are…
So I've been playing PC games now for like 10 years. I've ALWAYS had crashes/freezes/BSODs but I figured that's part of the PC gaming territory. My older brother, a longer-time gamer says he rarely encounters problems with games and has no clue why I always have computer problems. We both have good knowledge of…
