Is there a way to pass selections up the stack to the vertex paint modifier? I really need to be able to select rings, loops, open edges etc. Seems like the modifier is extremely limited in this respect unless I'm missing something obvious. Alternatively anyone know of way to do this in maxscript or if any scritps already…
Hey all -- If memory serves me right, 6-9 months ago there was a fairly respected 3D (though 2D would be just as beneficial) animation training material (DVD download format?) which ran under a hundred bucks. Am I going crazy or does this actually exist, and if so, where? Thanks ;)
Well today ( Saturday Sept. 27th, 2008 ), Warhammer Online broke the 90% threshold on Meta Critic ratings. :D Sitting at a respectable 91% and climbing with our first couple perfect scores. Nice to know people are digging it. Just thought I'd mention it for those interested in the game.

Still, at this point I'm just looking for a fast simple way to display my portfolio and projects. Nothing overly flashy or fancy. Are blog websites (blogspot, ect) respectable enough to be options, or am…
I'm using Speedtrees leaf map maker to create branches with leaves to be baked down to a plane, but I can only generate one branch/ perspective at a time and each shot is baked on a separate plane leaving me with 3 image files for each branch (color, normal, spec). Is there a way to make an atlas of *all* the branches and…
