to clarify what i meant by a mask texture - routinely i'll use a texture as a mask, with each mask contained within a single texture in each channel - so a 24bit tga has 3 masks, one for each channel. Within your group, you can double click it and set its channel - so ill have 3 groups within a "Mask" group, each…
There used to be ways to convert educational Autodesk licenses into professional licenses for quite a discount. You should look into that. $370ish isn't cheap for a CPU I bought my quad core when it was just below top of the line for ~$240. EDIT: You won't need a pro license to mod games unless you plan to sell the mods,…
these are off to a good start, and theres been some good points made about all, my interpatation of the one withthe 4 holes is that its been punched you see that type of hole on a lot of industrial metal, although the useable side usualy used the inside concave slope of the punch, I have taken to actualy rendering my…
Doing small models like this is loads of fun , yours are pretty good, but you could really get more detail in those textures. Here are some i did a few weeks ago for a contest on another forum: submarine, 128 polies, 128*128 skin with alpha: the foam around the boat is also incorporated in the skin but part of the alphamap…

i'm going to be buried in space or go into stasis and be rewoken in the 23rd century, or the 24th. hell, i'd love to get frozen and be revived every 100 years there after to see where humanity's gone and going and i'd never die. i could be immortal!
Your best bet is a codec that's supported by the default video players, Windows Media Player and QuickTime, without requiring someone to install a custom codec. H.264 is a good one. A good workflow is to render to a sequence of lossless-compressed bitmaps, like 24bit compressed TGA. Then compile those together with your…
well I worked my way through the Area threads of autodesk and it seems that by default it is not that easy to disable it (or not possible). THe reason for that is some .NET 4 stuff that does not allow to switch or alter font things - or something like that. Josef Wienerroither writes: But there is a hacky way…
