Re: Giacometti sculpture fetches £65 million at Sotheby's auction
Buying art is not so much about the art itself but the ego or story or reasoning that goes along with it and then being able to perpetuate that value further with some obscene price point or some intellectual response.

Re: approach to techy stuff
I keep meaning to write a script to do this, for both Max and Maya. As EQ says it's only really useful if you're unwrapping lots of things at once.

Re: Killer apps for Baking Normal Maps and UV:s etc.
nothing beats UVlayout :D http://www.uvlayout.com/ its a beast to learn especially all those shortcuts but once you mastered them unwrapping is so much fun and so much faster than anything else. others I tried: roadKill: almost freezes if you have a larger model- maybe I got a unstable release but imo. the performance was… -

[ QUOTE ] -unplug your tv immediately, it is useless [/ QUOTE ] my TV is my computer I find that the buzz of creating something is enough to get back into the groove.
