Light Bulb Polycount workaround
Hey guys quick question, I'm working on a arcade environment and many of the assets deal with lots of those little light bulbs that attract people's attention on the more old school arcade/fair games.

@#$%@*#$ bone hierarchy
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows of any Max tricks to sort out a problem that keeps haunting me.

Skate 3
Does anyone else play the Skate games at all? I think they're probably some of my favourite 'pick up and play' games of the last few years. The demo for Skate 3 is out and it's pretty darn good fun.
