Re: I love and hate midjourney
Except there is no theft. AI is not able to steal, that's technically impossible. You cannot compress 240 terabyte into 8 gb vram, not even download it to an average PC.

Re: Soft selection falloff hotkey for 3ds Max
I don't think you can out of the box but with a little scripting you can create two macro's that can be hotkey'ed. I'm not sure how comfortable you are with maxscript so let me know if this seems like a bunch of gobbledygook.macroScript SoftSelFalloffPlusCategory:"MyTools"toolTip:"Soft Sel Falloff… -
