I highly recommend The Art of Game Design by Jesse Schell. I've met Jesse a few times and know people who work for him. He's a smart guy, you may know him from [ame= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FSsztwbRW0&feature=fvw]his Dice talk[/ame] that made quite a splash last year. I own this book and really enjoyed reading it,…
I've hit this one before using unfold, but I haven't run into since I switched to Max2008 but then it happened often enough for me not to trust unfold and stick to the regular methods of unwrapping. In this case I can't figure out why you wouldn't just use cylinder unwrap? I was able to get around it by shutting max down…

I can't really make it more flat lol I can turn off the average normals, but imo I shouldn't have to when the normal is just 1 front facing polygon face.

"Part of the reason other governments fear Amercia is precisely the fact we can elect whomever we please, although of course this follows the course of Dem. or Reb." I say this with the utmost respect, frosty, but that is so much bollocks. There are two and only two reasons other governments fear the US and people turn…
I suffered for over a decade from (treatment resistant) depression and social anxiety because I couldn't get my life in order and couldn't get shit done. I spoke to so many psychologists and tried so many therapies - I lost oversight of how many. Nothing helped, so I gave up on modern western medicine . When I hit absolute…
Thank you for this info and all. I appreciate your notes. I do have a few things. The part about hard edges having no slits or to say no seam will result in artificats. Is that why a good idea at times to use weighted normal or just have it complete shade so it doesn't get it. I know that substance painter will tell you…
