Hello people, While working on a little project here I ran into a problem: I modeled this bottle, which is part of a scene I am working on. In the scene later I'd like to be able to put the bottle to wherever I want to, with the strap on top falling naturally to the ground. My initial plan now was to maybe rig it so that I…

I have a pretty fast connection, 100mb/s (i think that's fast, right?) But the stupid downloader is only downloading at 4.1k a second. I…
I'm working on an leaf texture and I've gotten a lot of help by following this article and the respective .SBS graph: My leaf texture is looking great, but in the interest of actually knowing what's going on, what the hell is going on here? I'm at a part where I'm creating the leaf veins using a tile sampler node, edge…

I've bought a few books from the store, and I will say this, code really turns me away from anything. I'm looking for a few solutions as I need to get my official site up and rolling soon. I'm either looking…
