Firebert- Thanks for the input. I replied to your PM. It's all good. shotgun- I agree with you. I like details, but should start to see 'the big picture' with shapes. Also definitely agree with the 'unfocused' bit. I tend to be quite malleable and was always experimenting. Having taken a class with Carlo Arellano has…
Support. Your role is one off support, you are there to enable the people you hire to give you there best. I like to think of myself as the ammo runner for the poor bastards in the trenches. lol Buffer. You take the shit and stress so they don't have too. Honesty. Don't lie, even to yourself, if you need to tell your…
XSI's insert edge loop does this exact thing just more intuitively, you can drop a preview of where you want to place it before laying it down permanently and it will actually stop sliding as a snap shortly before hitting the neighboring edgeloop, like max does.

But i thought i'd try and get some advice here as you're a great bunch that really know your shiz. Anyway I've…
Hey everyone! I'm thrilled to finally unveil my completed game environment! This is a small-scale reimagining of the iconic Roundtable Hold from Elden Ring. My goal was to improve and demonstrate my skills. I introduced archways with statues (inspired by the original concept art), as well as a grand staircase with a runner…
Biped * What the hell have you done to such a rock solid tool? It's a buggy pile of crap now. Is that by design? Are you trying to encourage us to abandon it? * You can't select the COM tracks easily anymore, you can't use the standard curve editor with biped because of the COM tracks but the Biped workbench doesn't have…
