Re: Post-Apocalyptic Nuclear Power Plant (Environment)
With three mile island the placement of the reactors are based off of the structure and stability of the island itself. As for transportation, you are correct, I'm working on adjustments for that (most notably the cooling tanks obstructing the semi-truck garages) along with making note to make plenty of transport stations… -

To help us out with this process, Reallusion has provided animated FBX files to help check if the skin weighting is correct.

Re: Exporting out Armature/Bones
to import a skeletal mesh you need the bones and the mesh. They need to not be within any parent hierarchy and I think but am not 100% sure that the root bone has to be named "root".

Re: A thought about artists and real world development

Re: Troubles unwrap a simple Cylinder
This came up a while ago when someone went on and on about maya's relax being better than the relax in max. It was a pretty long debate and sadly search doesn't seem able to find it. The conclusion was that they where identical and probably robbed the same code base to build their relax tools. They where identical as long… -
Re: Best tool/settings for displacement maps
