Re: Maxscript - Mirroring and offseting uvs
Honestly, most of my personal use tool look like yours. But when packaging them for release I typically do a few things. 1. Make sure they work on a selection objects. 2.

Re: Heroes on NBC
[ QUOTE ] I really like the show so far. Did anyone catch that the pattern (looks a bit like a broken DNA string) in the professors code was also in the pool in the next scene?
