As some of you may have seen in the thread I started, I'm learning 3D modelling, but I haven't decided on a 3D program yet. I played around with Max yesterday and liked it. It felt much better than Blender, easier to learn, more intuitive etc. The only thing I don't like is that Z is up. I'm surprised at the Lightwave hate…
So, now that PS Home is finally out (in beta at least), have any of you tried it? What do you think about it? Personally, I hate it. Maybe that's too strong. I STRONGLY dislike it. The Good: Its finally out. Its a new way to meet other PS3 gamers. Umm,.... The Bad: I think that this may well be Sony's biggest f-up with the…

How would I get the Z-Depth of the second camera's multiple pixels into the material editor so I could run it through a shader? I am…

Gather round, friends, this is a long one. It was the best of times. It was the strangest of times. It was the scammiest of times. It was the time when I started wasting a scammer's time when I had never even gotten a scam attempt from them yet. These were days of glory and confusion. Mostly confusion. We shall start at…
