Very odd Problem with displacement map
I am running into some very strange displacement map issue. Here are 2 different renders using Maya 2008 and Maya 2009. Both of these renders were based on exact same file. I couldn't find an answer or solution to this anywhere on the web. Please help. There are some functionalities in 2009 I would like to use, so please… -
Re: Where does the money go?
Yeah sure bobby kotick's wage is massive, but it is also a tiny fraction of the companies yearly profits. Also most of the wage was based upon stock awards, from his $159 mill in stock. yeah its a bit shit but you have to look at it in context, its not like the company brought in 100 mill, and he brought home 60 mill out… -

Re: 3DS Max, how to make the cut tool work!
Cut tool works fine for me in 3dsmax 2008, all the time. I only had problems with it not snapping right in 3dsmax 9 and earlier.

Re: Autodesk buying XSI?
I downloaded the trial of Houdini last month, checking it out now :) Edit: Luxury, they didn't really do much with Maya 2008, but 2009 has a lot of improvements and some BIG new features (animation layers, for one).

Re: Piracy...
