Re: HLSL magic
there is also "Mental mill - artist edition" which is node-based just like ShaderFX, and comes free with Nvidia's FX Composer 2.0. the app is standalone and can dump shader code, as well. (fx composer itself feels a bit bloated imo) the Cg Tutorial book, eventhough old, has some nice basic stuff. The Cg Manual (in here… -
Re: Pixel Pusher, You ever get called this?
It seems like a really lame insult to me. I mean of all the things one could think of to insult another artist, is "pixel pusher" really the best they could come up with? At the end of the day, it's just obnoxious elitism and there's absolutely no end to it. This happens all the time when it comes to programmers and it… -

Suppose things like extra detailing can still be done, if people like to keep those anatomy muscle memories thriving due to repeated "recreation & brush-up", then it can still be useful. Not a big "make-art-button", guy as others of late have been by promoting it, so i would still… -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
And? You mistake me for someone who's invested in this sphere. A friendly reminder we got documented proof Bobby Kotick came up with lootboxes while doing coke from a minor's tummy at the Epstein's Funny Farm. He's doing great btw. Apparently crab mentality is reminding folks the people they work for will literally leave… -
Re: Scripting streamlines your 3d workflow
The maxscript listener code is fine, as long as you take the core of it and wrap it up nicely. Everything in the listener is written specifically for the objects that it is dealing with at the point, so I normally add a layer of abstraction. A simple script that I use a lot is rotating a character. I build my characters… -

Re: Good VFX / Particle System tutorials?
One thing that comes to mind is Simon Trümpler's website. He has some nice breakdowns of various game VFX, but also a ton of other resources! https://simonschreibt.de/ -

So let me ask it here instead :) ! I made a fairly detailed stone slab which i turned into and insertmesh so i could use the curve mode…
