Re: bungie: 'Secondhand sales are evil'
My point about books was just that they are both "experiences." Once you've read it, you've gotten your money's worth and it's quite common for people to loan, give, or even re-sell them.

It was also used back when there was only phong kind of shading with specular and specular power (glossiness). They were still packing grayscale info into channels, I guess its just that this piece… -

Re: Looking to become a seattleite!

the cave that descends into hell
...or the cave of forgotten dreams(which sounds like an MMO instance). "There's a cave in France where no humans have been in 26,000 years. The walls are full of fantastic, perfectly-preserved paintings of animals, ending in a chamber full of monsters 1312-feet underground, where CO2 and radon gas concentrations provoke… -

Re: Marvelous Designer Exports At Huge Scale In Maya!
Hi Danny, thanks for your help. Are you referring to on export from MD or on import into Maya? I'm using Maya 2018 and I'm checking the documentation and I find there's an option to set 'Units' to 'Automatic' but I can't find the 'Advanced Options' menu (seems to be a 2016 feature? I could also try exporting as .FBX from…
