I guess it all depends on which rabid dog you're talking about, which country you're living in, and what the repercussions for shooting the dog are. Do you really believe the world is a safer place now that the US has invaded Iraq and ousted Saddam? Do you believe that the likelihood of a terrorist attack are any less now…
Are sharp masks the only way? Here's a picture of what i'm talking about in greyscale format. See how the shapes are penetrating eachother and it doesn't look natural? How do I stop this from happening while also having a natural look to it? Or should I just spend more time adjusting my transform nodes so they overlay less?

So far it's been a progression over the past few months that I've been updating on my blog so I will just add what I've posted on my blog here. Crits are most certainly welcome! "Started a new project today seeing as how my…

Blender seems so much more obtuse and fiddly than other programs in my…
You should be looking at stuff like this and not making assumptions: And this: If you are playing a game and it is running poorly, it can be a problem with almost anything. It could be bottlenecked on the CPU or GPU. You could have garbage collector spikes. You don't know just by looking at the game, even if the game looks…
