Thats actually not quite right. When you buy the game new, you get a code to download the sewer missions. If you buy the game used, that code is used up and you pay for it online. Either way, its one download that you unlock whenever.
As silly as it sounds.... I've followed many tutorials and understand what I'm doing; I also understand what Lamont is stating I need to write up in code... its just writing the code I have trouble with :) I'm a 3D artist at heart :P
* Only use Arnold for the AO - Understood * But you can probably whip up a photoshop or substance designer tool that converts it to the correct format.: - if you mean convert the .PNG into a .DDS.. Nvidia DDS Utility Plugin for Photoshop.. Taken care of * Been using swizzler for over a year as well with Tank exporter. Its…

Your setting yourself up for the impossible if that's the case as the math to transfer between the two would be WAY out of the leauge of most anyone who'd do it for…
What anger you are talking about? Houdini doesn't have anything common with this. I'm looking from perspective of companies that have to deal with more than just Windows based stuff. So Max is no go for them, no matter which way you look at it or how many game companies are using it. And what extend it is? I know about…
What about the bigger people who lead these things and mentor the kids? They probably have to sign onto some kind of code of conduct if not formally its probably deeply ingrained in tradition. At 10 they may not have fully worked out their theological views but they're on their way and probably hungry for info, I think…

It may cause issues with Hybrid threads and if it does I will just remove it completely. ---The total number of posts per thread page has gone from 10 to 25. ---To reiterate, AVATARS will return. ---I…
I got some questions made up so far, poor grammer and spelling so far, going to clean that up before sending, just putting some ideas down before I send them to a few game dev folks.. [ QUOTE ] 1. Has the recent media attention given to the whole "Hot Coffee" incident in combination with the latest Jack Thompson ramblings,…
