Re: The proper working chair
I guess we should just work in bed all day and become blobs, no wait, that wouldn't be healthy. Maybe we should work in swimming pools all day... But then our skin would could really pruney, and we might be electrocuted. Standing desks are probably slightly better than sitting all day, but you should really be moving if… -
Re: Why some people are better at art than others.
I definitely fall into the camp who would say it's more about practice and passion than any born talent. All of the things that contribute to being a good artist can be practiced and learned.

Re: Your thoughts on financial double-dipping in games

3ds max screen space mapping
Anyone know how to show an object with a screen space mapping texture at full resolution when rendering? While in viewport, the texture looks high resolution.
