I think, if you double-click the model, it'll select the whole element. Is that the kind of thing you're after? as for cleaning up overlapping verts faces etc.. I haven't really found a good way for it, don't use maya that often though. I once modeled a highpoly plane, and seems like I accidentally cloned the whole mesh…
I'd stay away from FPS banana, tends to be a fairly immature crowd and easy place to get virus' from my experience. We're always willing to except models for The Dark Mod (see sig), Doom3 engine, heavily modified GTK Radiant editor (very similar to Hammer- l4d, hl2, tf2). And I'm willing to help you learn how to get stuff…
Wireless is definitely an improvement IMO. I'm with you on the wireless mouse thing. I switched about two years ago and now get annoyed with cabling dragging and rubbing on the back of the desk. It's not something you notice until you've used a wireless for a while. I'm curious, where does this wireless hate come from? I…
I usually just have Editable Poly (converted from any useful primitive), then Symmetry on top of that, then Turbosmooth on top of that. I try not to ever put any Edit Poly stuff on top of Turbosmooth, only ever parametric stuff like FFD (same as Maya's Lattice deformers), or Bend/Twist etc. Stuff that won't be affected by…
The Thing The first and third Nightmare on Elm Street The Exorcist Dead Alive Evil Dead The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre (although R. Lee Ermie was fucking awesome in the remake) The first 2 Hellraiser movies I haven't liked any recent horror movies. With todays special effects and with how nice the cameras are now…
Have a girlfriend and been with her for more than two years. Still having fun together and she really likes what I am doing. She really likes designing, decorating stuff - interiors, bracelets, earrings etc. Infact she asked me to teach her max. It can't get better than that! :D And she is a gamer too. Loves and I mean…
That's a crazy idea, what if you move to cali and then you get a job offer in Texas? Mythic covered my moving expense to VA, I think the moving truck cost maybe 2-3 grand then after that I had to pay first month of rent on an apartment, security deposits etc... my first apartment here was $1350 a month for a 1 bedroom...…
Always expect each one of your files, object in files, layers in files, etc. to be looked at or worked on by someone else. Name and prepare accordingly, seeking not to become hated by these artists. That should fix things. Welcome to art lead-land. Extra pet peeve to add: Have some friggin balls about collapsing psd…
I pretty much use the same technique as MoP. I've found that using one big psd file is easier than to use 5 or even more files. Also remember to name and if it helps color code your layers and groups. And start naming at the start so when you duplicate your base layers for spec, opacity etc purposes than you have atleast…
It's kinda weird comparing 'graphics' of both engines, because it is mostly the art YOU put into it that makes it looking good(or bad). But I guess you could compare the graphics-features, and if you do that, then Unity is showing ALOT of potential I think. The way I made my decision: -Unity 3.0 will have Beast…
