Re: Rendering an Animation using Final Gather in Maya?

Re: Is decimating your model in environment art good or bad?

Re: theoretical pbr question, how does energy conservation work?

I've gone and arranged things easily so you guys can… -
Re: Congrats on #7 so far, Torchlight
100 with the un-modded game, but there's no hardcoded limit, its just that the game is missing the content and level tables for 100+ beyond the main 30 level dungeon and the shadowvault that goes from level 30-100 or so
