Media Texture appears white
Hi, i'm encountering a problem with some media textures. Basically the texture appears white, even though in the texture thumb it appears correctly.

Re: Max vs Maya
Let me start of with a quote from Murdoc [ QUOTE ] This isn't a rant, Max is fine, but modeling is a pain in the ass, it takes 3-4 steps to do one thing when it only takes 1-2 steps in XSI/Maya.

Re: [3DS Max] - Straighten UV's Problem
I fully agree with Kanni3d & Klunk, both on methods explained and how these are standards when it comes to manually unwrap your UVs.

Re: Long-term thoughts for portfolio/career direction
If you're sticking with stylized work, you're going in the right direction in my opinion. Make sure there are stylized studios you can apply for in your vicinity.

Re: 7 years ago: what where you doing?
In 98 I was 21 and spent a disastrous 3 months in Idaho trying to get a good band together with a guy I met in the summer before my senior year of high school.
