[RIP] Andre Norton 1912 - 2005
[RIP] Andre Norton 1912-2005 I used to read her stuff voraciouslywhen I was in Junior High and hoghschool. it was allways, to me a little off, but fascinating, just the same. Like watching a subtitled movie. it didn't hurt that she had a talent for portraying non-human characters, making them seem very alien, without being… -
Maya 2009: Auto-update textures
Maya 2009 does not have the option to auto-refresh textures. One must manually refresh. NEX enables this feature. Is there a means of getting this feature without the need to buy and install NEX for those that only want this feature? I found this script with a search. What sucks is that the user has to manually enable the… -

Re: How old are you and how long have you been in games?
21 for a few more months, 0 "official" years in the industry though. I started doing simple mods back in middle school, spent pretty much all of high school getting my feet wet with my first game art and full total conversion modding. I started going to college at 18 in 2006 majoring in graphic design, unsure of whether or… -
Max 2009 Isolation Script Error
Not sure why but when I installed Max 2009 on this new Windows 7 install my Isolate Selection tool was been broken, which as you can imagine is a real pain. The error says: Unknown property: "IsInstance" in undefined. The "Exit Isolation" box pops up still but nothing is actually isolated. I already have max set up the… -
3D Max 2009 Modifier List Freeze
We had to reload 3d Studio Max 2009 at work and now that it is finally back in max will freeze every time I go to open the modifier list as long as an object is selected. If nothing is selected there are no modifiers to populate the list so nothing happens. Only when an object is selected and you go to the drop down. We… -
Max 2008 normal maps in viewport.
I just upgraded to max 2008, as I have been using 7 for a long time, had some money and thought this would be a good way to spend it. The only thing now is that I can seem to display my normal maps in the viewport. I don't have the checkbox 'DX standard display of material' like I had in max 7, and no matter what I do, I… -
Max 2009 Polygon Statistics
So I actually really like 2009s poly counter. Its nice that I can just hit 7, and it shows up in the corner and stays there, isnt a separate window that I have to drag out of the way or whatever. I also really like that it can show actual triangle count instead of just polys, and can show the selection and the total at…
