jesus guys. Go to college, take some engineering and math and history and logic classes This will A- The engineering and math will make it clear to you why THOSE PEOPLE dont understand your crackpot theories B- The History will teach you how mistrusting your government should really work, and give you a clear sense of what…
[ QUOTE ] Skin is a unique case more because we pay extra attention to it, so we adjust the specular color to bluish/greenish so the highlight doesn't look yellowish, as explained above. [/ QUOTE ] It's another deal completely why people use a color spec map for skin. If you want one color of blue spec just use a B/W spec…
[ QUOTE ] yeah so i talked to her earlier today, she said she wasn't "ready for a relationship yet," but she did say i was funny which is a plus i suppose. :/ [/ QUOTE ] This means your "in the hole" to use baseball terms. There is the "batter"; the current guy she wants, which just so happens to be someone who is not…
good start man. It seems like you were able to hit what you were aiming for 1) Why do peeps keep calling a color map for a diffuse map when it is clearly mapped to the color and not the diffuse channel? Everyone has there word for it, I believe in max they actually call it diffuse on the shader if I recall. Diffuse is just…
Yup, I know about the Swordsmiths and their legends. Anyway just to make sure, you are talking about the light grey part with the 3 grooves right? Since I plan on deviating from the concept anyway I might as well change it later on. Just an fyi, the katana was based on this concept art:…
I think the issue your having is with the `snap`. When you have snap turned on, and max can`t find whatever option you want it to snap to - it freaks and places the edge, vert, object etc. is some craaazy far distance. I`m sure theres some technical logic behind it...? My fix has been to a) don't forget to turn snap off…
Actually the next Intel and AMD lines have been tested already, and intel is ahead considerably. The new chipset is due this fall if you can wait that long. AMD prices should plumet with the release. I'm a systems engineer if you have any specific questions. 800 bucks wont get you much i'm afraid. Not enough for a decent…
I have wondered before if perhaps some sort of 'repurposing' of Polycount might be due before long. The days of PC as a pmp resource have definitely passed on, as submissions and reviews for those sorts of things are almost non-existant anymore. Really, PC feels more like a professional forum than an amateur one, even if…
Woah tons of info here, that's just great! Yeah the method I posted (some months ago) might not be 100% accurate but since there is always a lot of tweaking to be done, I think that it's the end result displayed on the model that matters Thanks for the levels trick, sounds good. KDR, this 'normalmap generator material'…
Does your mike work at all? Have you tested it on other programs like "Soundrecorder" in your accessories? Is it USB? I have to fiddle with my settings all the time. Also rememeber with VOIP you can only talk to your squad members with the "B" key and the Commander with the "V" key. If it is malfunctioning in the game…
