In case someone at Valve reads this, here is something I just noticed about the store page. When listing standalone sets, filtering for "show all" (as opposed to showing 20 or 60 items per page) seems to give only partial results. More precisely, filtering for "release : newest first" and "items per page : all" only brings…
That happened to me once with the full US version of 2010, my net connection dropped while it was transferring a license key and was stuck in limbo for two days while I went back and forth with their service rep via their web support site trying different things. I ended up deleting some files that allowed it to…
Hello guys. I am working on a game character model and I would like to use the standard 3ds max 2010 shader for it. I am just not sure what goes under the specular level map slot? I know that my specular map should be under the specular map slot and the same one but gray scaled should be nested in to the glossiness slot,…

Since we're in to 2014 now I thought it would be fun to ask what piece or pieces of game art you really enjoyed from 2013? Whether it was its quality, execution, how it inspired you, or whatever reason made it one of your favourite pieces from 2013, post it here! I'll kick it off with my love of Ryse's game art. I'm not…
@99499 Really generalizing here but... In the late 90's and early 2000's (back when I started with game mods) there was the diffuse workflow. Diffuse is the color texture with static highlights and shadows painted in. It was really common to use photo mashups as a base texture and paint over everything to unify the static…
Hi all, been lurking hear for years, sorry my 1st post is requesting help. I'm having some trouble exporting from max 2010 to md5 format. I've trawled through many forums and tutorials but still getting no joy. I tried using der tons and berserkers exporters but max crashes when exporting, and the resulting md5 files are…
Cool article, and I think it brings up some really good points. That said, can anyone cite any economic data that shows the video game industry will crash? Atari 2600 doesn't account for GenX+ Millenials who grew up with a controller in their hand. AAA can't crash. It can however EVOLVE. Even if consoles crash, AAA games…
I have 3ds max 2016 (with sp2 i think). And i have imported a rcs point cloud. Im trying to build geometry on the point cloud and for that i need to snap to the point in the point cloud, but it doesnt work. It ignores the snap. I tried what i could but it doesnt snap to the point cloud points. Sometimes (1 out of 20 tries)…
