I just checked out the new version, and it is looking good! I'm comparing your changes with some of mine. I like that you've broken the equations into material functions. I had originally stuffed it all inside one material function, but it's a nice way to break up the whole thing by putting function inside function. With…
So im new to maxscript (grand total of 3days :poly124:) and i decided to throw myself in the deep end by making an autorigger. So far its been pretty simple, used some functions to make a dummy rig that can be adjusted and add bones that align to them etc. but now i want to make twist links. So what i want to be able to do…
Alberto Rdrgz: thanks man....if you like the belly shirt wait till you get a load of his tramp stamp :D Di$array: thanks very much....I guess that I just have an affinity with the floating evil minions of French millitary figures....how could I have not figured this out sooner :D Buckles-check, I will get those sorted, at…
Look in the Hierarchy Panel>IK you got all sorts of axis constraints. just enable\disable whatever you like or set specific limits. Sliding (transformations, for mechanical i.e telescope, or hydraulics) or Rotational. Pretty simple. I assume what you most probably want to do is this: Sliding and Rotational Joints (HI…
You mean triangles right? 2k triangles per item? xD Anyways, I try to shoot for a little less - while also maintaining visual fidelity. The end result has been custom scenes that perform great while looking like many more triangles were used. My motto with game environments is to create more with less; do more with less.…

Until then the 9800 that was posted is the fastest low-profile card you can find(on newegg atleast), which is important if you've read the thread. =) As far as 8 vrs 9, the 8800 GTX and 9800 GTX give you virtually identical performance(the 9800 being a hair faster),…
Me and a friend used it recently when working on a level: Situation: 2 people are working in the same package (adding assets). Person 1 adds 2 assets and uploads it to dropbox. Person 2 in meanwhile added a asset of his own and uploads it 2minutes later -> the assets from person 1 will not be there, because that newer…
My control complaints can really be applied to basically every Wii game though. I love Nintendo and the Wii had some really cool games, but I could never play a game session without having to deal with the Wiimote screwing me in some way (except for games that don't use motion controls.) Maybe it's my setup, maybe not, I'm…
Sorry but Western audiences are secondary to the Japanese devs. Selling Final Fantasy outside of Japan is just bonus money. Remember Japan's modern roots come from a very very different culture than European/Christian standards. It's an old convention was being more feminine gives a male a touch of 'evilness'. Being how…
