I tried few for scripting. GPT was best for MXS and by "best" I mean least time needed to fix its code. It's really nice for formulas, general algorithms in natural language or small isolated chunks of code, but trying to use it for complete script (especially something complex) is unreliable. Sometimes it will work out of…
Hello there! So... this is my 2nd year trying to finish an enviro Challenge, hope this is the one I finish. So far I've more or less matched the perspective and proportions of the reference (I just started working on the 1st of Feb) Since I've had a hard time finishing environments so far, I will take a sort of MVP…
So I am working on a gray scene to work on my lighting. I've been primarily working at home, but today I tested it out on my work computer, and now i notice my light maps are LODing and they look like crap. I never noticed this before on my home computer. So i decided to rebake on preview and once i did the LODing went…
Hey, it appears I've found a bullet-proof way to crash my ZBrush in 10 seconds. *hooray* In case you want to see if you can reconstruct this behavior, the steps are: 1. Drop to Canvas 2. Drag out new instance of object in 2.5D mode 3. Move Object 4. Drop again 5. Drag out new instance 6. Crash! (7. If it didn't crash at…
Well one problem could be that you're using an extremely old plug-in (Chuggnuts tools) with a much newer version of max. When you install chuggnuts it overwrites a few uwnwrap core files with really old re-written versions. At the time chuggnuts came out it expanded on the current code but now they've made several…

We ask that you use your skills to immortalize a mighty champion of Sanctuary. Perhaps your original artwork will capture a monk, deep in meditation, calmly…
I think there's a CVar to disable Post Effects too, but I'm not sure how far that goes since there isn't really a post-process editor to my knowledge. It may just be the bloom and HDR settings disabled. In the Art and Technology behind Crysis 3, there were a few screenshots of Crysis 3 levels during development in…
I was trying to make a script to activate the Paint Select mode while turning on ignoreBackfacing so that I don't select faces from the other side when painting. To make this compatible with both EditablePoly and EditPoly, my thought process was to make a tryCatch function so that if it failed to the first clause because…
sonic, i dont know much about processors, but from what your saying intels duel and new quad core processors are not any faster at all than the single core ones unless you have programs that are specifically written to use all 4 cores? i really know nothing about them, but if thats the case why upgrade?
