No offense, but if you've gotten better results with 10 sided geometry then 8 sided geo, you've screwed up somewhere. I went ahead and spent 30 minutes on these 2 models. Left one has 1 bump per poly, gives really nice, even results. Right one would/should give nicer results but that would involve tweaking the cage some…
So its only a win if you count the votes of the hardcore, most of whom actually do own a wii? Maybe looking into why the Wii is a success and why people find the 8th Mario Party fun is something you should do. There are lessons to be learned for sure, even if you hate the look and feel of the controller. Blindly passing it…

Anyways I'm hoping to be able to meet up with fellow polycounters in the areas I visit so here are the dates! Sept 24th (late)-sept 29th (early) : San Francisco, Ca…
