Ahh...forgot about sweep, thanks for that. Loft has some extremely powerful functions, like deformations. But good grief do I hate it's interface! Ideally, this made up tool would combine loft and sweep into a single modifier that can draw and edit strips parametrically, without the need to select separate instanced…
There are two components to a tilt shift photography, and it's important to separate them and understand that they do entirely different things. The above image shows a tilt/shift lens with both tilt (rotation, the guide lines on the right) and shift (the guide lines on the left) engaged. What you're talking about in this…
First off, Linux isn't holding any significant market position compared to Mac and Windows, but that's not necessary. It's a competitor to MS and they don't have any investment in it. That said, if MS actually supported it with their software, it would likely grow in popularity being a "free" (as in cost and as in liberty)…

Its a stylistic choice conveying heat on a really bright day, its a bit uncomfortable but so is real life. I feel like squinting my eyes…
1: This is entirely dependent on your target platform and how those materials are used. You're trading texture memory use for GPU state changes. If you have a lower memory target, go for optimized textures. If you are GPU bound, but have VRAM to spare, go for the texture option. Remember that one 4k texture = four 2k…
MOp- I'm using a small sketch book with like. almost like a 6 x 9 inch paper size. The sketch book is a borders Bookstore sketchbook. Has a velvety cover to it, and its like 4.99. :P And for anyone whos wondering. The brown color is a Brown pencil lead. .9 mm leads. Its almost like color pencil, but very hard. Not the best…
I realize that, but that situation doesn't exist for me. Maybe later when my XNA port is content complete, it will make more sense to take the plunge. Some advice for indy engine seekers. Make sure the features that the engine purports to support actually exist! A few years ago, I tried using Irrlicht, but soon found out…
