Questions I've Been Too Afraid To Ask
I've compiled a list of little questions which have been on my mind ever since I started modeling. I always figured asking them would make me look like a "noob," for lack of a better term.

I'm switching careers out of the game industry.

UV's in Max 2010 and terrain in-fill
Hi everyone, I'm working on a project for fun. The gfx engine is not so bad but to really optimise it's doing a lot by hand.
