It's not stupid but maybe a bit naive. I've never heard of that school so I can't say anything about it but a quick google search shows up lots of fraud allegations and shady incentivization shit though. Red flags! If you're considering taking a degree program purely for the sake of an alumni network.. I don't think it's…
*shakes fists in the air* Raise up from the dead, thread! So, I found myself in the same situation others here, and being a big nerd I wrote a rudimentary userscript to auto fav threads upon replying. It adds a small checkbox under the reply textarea that can be on or off by default: I thought it might be useful for…
Another update with more destruction and a bit more blocking in. Over the past few days I've had the motivation to jump back into the castle tower and start working in some of the additional damage to show how the viking trebuchets have battered the towers. Doing the bricks manually in Maya is slowly starting to grate on…
Hey guys, I've been emailing about the situation this afternoon trying to figure out what the situation is. The information I received was to the contrary of a lot of what has been said in this thread so I wanted to get a clear picture of what is happening. Initially I was told that badge holders would receive access to…
That is probably one of the most common misconceptions about communism / socialism. To each according to his contribution is considered by some Marxists and other socialists as a characteristic of society directly following the transition to socialism, but preceding the final step to communism. This essentially means that…
@Temppe Yeah it's exactly like an inflatable chain :) To break down the whole functional design: Inside the housing that's part of the ship would be sort of like a rollercoaster lift hill, carrying the pump/tube assembly out/retracting them back in. During extension and before ejecting a pump, this mechanism can lock a…
Thank you for the response, I appreciate it! Quick and Dirty edit is already enabled, and disabling shadows does offer a slight improvement in performance but nothing too noticeable. I appreciate that performance drops in the viewport may be considered normal, however this is happening at such a low polycount. I've worked…
OK, quick run down of the last month on this gun. 1) I stopped for a few days to do extensive research on normal maps. In the meantime I posted this: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=133049 2) My PC problems continued, resulting in multiple trips to the "shop" which halted work for a while. 3) I started a…
I'm guessing "ArmUp" is your bicep joint? Didn't the program refer to the character not facing Z, when it said that the arms are not aligned with X?. I mean, was the character perhaps facing X (or God forbid, Y:poly136:) with its arms on the Z plane? And that the t-pose character that you loaded in later (assuming its a…
Every Smart Material generally creates a group. If it doesn't, you can add a group manually by selecting the layers you wish to work with and clicking the group function in dDo's main window. Cavity and curvature are not generated by dDo as individual maps within your *.PSDs. The SUITE will generate a curvature map from…
