So I had a chance to play around with CoreUI; and my feelings are mixed. While I like the idea of having one persitent toolbar at the top with all your commonly used tools, I couldn't (perhaps if I gave it more time) get used to using floating (pinned) pallettes for my tools. Having the tools properties in the one spot is…
Hello everyone, I recently got back from a game developers conference out in Troy, MI called Interfaces (hosted by IADT Detroit). After a day of recovery, my brain finally felt up to typing all my notes up so you guys could all benefit from them. It was a very interesting conference with a lot of great speakers from…
Hi guys and ladies, Can I get some feedback on my portfolio? Its actually been a while since I've updated anything/created. I'm going to get rid of the whole blue/neon look, because it looks shit in my opinion. In terms of progress, work wise, I was thinking going for a techincal position, would a simple object done really…

Its quite specific but…
I’ve been working away at this script for some time now, but I’m still very much in the process of trying to learn MaxScript so trying to build a rather complex script at the same time is just a tad challenging. :P That being said completing this script will undoubtedly save me weeks or even months depending on the…

It offers a wide variety of tools, everything from selection tools to rendering tools. It can help you through the entire process of…
So this 3D engine I'm using(and I can't change the tech sadly) seems to use lightmaps(just simple 2D dds textures which are mapped to the second UV channel in geometry) in quite a particular way for large chunks of terrain.
