NOTE FOR AUSTRALIANS - word is that if you are gifted L4D2 from a country that doesn't have the censored version you don't get the censored version. can't confirm this but was playing online with a guy that CLAIMED this was true (got it gifted from NZ the bastard). Of course who knows how long that loophole will last.
yeah, this one caught me by surprise today. There are a few famous people on the ropes right now, like Patrick Swayze, that I would expect to pass away first. Guess this is the surprise death predicted in the Ed McMahon thread... except now we have more than 3 confirmed :/
I would use a segmented box and the conform brush inside of max. I would probably add some specific cuts to get some of the topo right.

I've written, deleted and re-written my response about six times now, so I'm just going to keep this short. For someone who was there and was heavily involved in the community and the contest during that time, I will confirm pretty much everything Gav said. It's true... All of it!
Just in case anyone stumbles across this thread -- I have had success at eliminating the problem by clamping my normal maps between .001 and .998 in their respective materials. I can confirm the problem only ever seems to happen in DX11 mode like mAIkAv!An said.
The only one I looked at before closing PS was the Albedo map, and those sections were darkened there. I didn't check the actual gloss map, but the gloss values didn't appear to change - just the underlying color. I can try to confirm later tonight, as well.
I seem to remember the green channel of a DXT compressed texture getting some slack cut? And Alpha channels for DXT5 have little compression - but it'd be great to have these tidbits confirmed/denied (though my tests seem to show that what I typed up is correct).
Thanks for the information. You pretty much confirmed with what I was thinking. Hopefully the teacher lets me deviate from some the course work that he is going to assign. I tend to be a self learner anyway. "Want a degree go to College, Want to learn go to a Library" :\
Hey guys, I want to apologize to any members who may be receiving spam in their inboxes from a bot posing as a 'Forum Administrator'. You guys know no one on the team here uses stupid names like that, so please delete the email without confirming a 'read receipt' and move on. We're looking in with how to deal with this.…
Hahaha, not my point! I don't think it's boring. It just isn't horrible or breathtaking enough for people to stop and comment. I think I'd take that as a confirmation to continue. Unless, of course, you know how to make one of these weapons breathtaking just because of the silhouette, haha. Very hard to do.
