trying to write a procedure thats groups the uvs shells into 3 seperate categories (Small, Medium, Large). but running into an issue where small uv shells doesnt get cast to the correct array $uvShellSmlList. Im been spending the whole day looking and testing to see why its doing that. Note this code only works on maya…
Two important considerations to think about with an asset like this: 1. It's best to align UVs vertically or horizontally, instead of diagonally. This avoids jagged/blurry artifacts from antialiasing, and improves downsampling for LODs and MIPs. 2. For hardsurface assets, you'll get better results by not using baked normal…
I’ll be sticking to the fighting game genre, drawing from
Battle Arena Toshinden 2. Toshinden and Toshinden 2 were some of the first 3d
fighting games I remember playing and enjoying…and especially liked seeing all

There are games that I'll play just for fun but the majority of the time, the time investment…

Diablo 2 is one of my all time favorite games, and almost always finds its way onto my pc, every time I have to reinstall windows, or get a new pc. I hear the complaints of Diablo 3 isn't as dark as Diablo 2, but for me that's fine. I don't need another Diablo clone, with the Diablo name on it. But I understand the…
