So i'm thinking.... whats comming up next? Bad stuff always happens to me in groups. So i'm walking through the park tonight with some friends. Its only…
after replying here people asked me if they could have that script with the spinner that lets me smooth surfaces without the usual hassle in 3dsmax. The picture I posted back then was: http://www.renderhjs.net/bbs/polycount/tips/quarantine_map_smoothing_groups.gif its a common task for me fixing the smoothing groups of…
So I'm learning SD currently and I'm finding it odd that the blend node only has two inputs. I'm thinking there has to be a more efficient node to this with.

Is there a way of telling it to respect the face ids I…

Idea 2 as a header without the slideshow behind it. NEVER do a photography/hard surface slideshow (or a slideshow in general). I can't even think of what position would want that.. I feel if a company sees a slideshow with your photos mixed in with hard surface stuff they will ignore you.. Literally, all you have to do. 1.…
