But, I constantly had blue screens and memory dumps. and i found i needed more mem for my games, so i just swapped the 120 to be the OS, and picked up a 2gig HDD for my games. I…
sorry for the confusion, but that is exactly what I want. if user chose 3 colors then 3 sliders will appear, color will select randomly but the sliders will control the chance of their appearance, the most important part is that they all share 100% and not overlap on each other.

You get home and assemble your very first Holo Deck. What's the first thing you do with it? Me? Well besides the obvious of having sex with anyone I can think of I'd probably do up a Medievil setting. Or a huge army fight straight from LOTR.

Having a lot of problems with an object's visibility in Max. The object in question is a piece of clothing on a character, I had it set to .6 or so visibility so that I could work on the mesh underneath, or see bones or something. For some reason now I CAN. NOT. get the visibility to change in the object properties. I'll…
