Re: Sketchbook: Eric Chadwick
Thanks Joe! Here's a new gif to share. Pretty simple effect, but the fx artist was too busy so I jumped in. We avoid particles if possible, since emitters are pretty expensive. The texture's red channel is the flame pattern, green is the sparks, and blue is the distortion. Though I might also use the blue for smoke later.… -
Re: Jeff Parrott Dota 2 Thread
Looking once more time on my items I need to say that your right guys :/ haha how cruel... I was referring to this sentence from dota requirements page: "The "_normal" texture should be 24-bit and use the 3dsmax format(red channel is left; green is up; blue is top).

Re: Lightmaps: tech pros and cons

True. In socialist Greece, healthcare pays you. Well, they don't really pay you but we've got decent healthcare. We need it after all, subce the government need people to milk and steal money from. -
Re: 3DS maxscript autorig

Re: [Civil War] Seven vs. Empty vs. Low Odor vs. ?
almighty_gir: I studied a bit of classical greek art. Some general fun info. Aphrodite of Knidos was considered to be the first classical female statue to be viewed in public ( a lot of men had odd urges after that, and weekly cleaning to an eventual take down of the statue was needed ;) ) After that the Hellenistic period… -
