By The Power Of PLACEHOLDER! :D So I reached the wifi limit at the hostel I'm staying at, and found a pretty neat library just down the road. Aus is really amazing place. It's like a mix of San Francisco and New York, but with none of the dirtiness and grime that usually comes with cities, and the people here are very…
I'm a bit hesitant about posting this, but I hope it can be helpful for people currently in school or recent grads. Someone on the hangouts mentioned this thread so I figured I'd write something up The early years: I grew up not thinking about being a 3d artist.

I have been doing some research based on this requirement and how to develop the shader, and thought it would be good to share my findings and hopefully help out anybody else looking to learn…

Hahah - I was actually reading an article where Valve were saying why PCs were the future of gaming. Personally I never ever play games on my PC as I spend too much time hunched over my workstation anyway and prefer to play something simple and arcadey/ co-operative while lying on teh sofa with my girlfriend to relax.…
Would someone know how to get this working in max 2013? A variable has to be changed somewhere? Or does it just need to be resaved as unicode? Not familiar with either.
