Ok Im stuck in a loop. Dell has a deal till friday that works on the new m11x for 350 off if over 1449. So with that I could get System Color Nebula Red with Soft Touch Finish Operating System Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English Processor & Graphics Card Intel® Core i7 2617M 1.5GHz(2.6GHz w/Turbo Boost, 4MB…
I think right now, the rain effects are a complete overkill in my eyes... it's coming off really noisy/distracting... I feel it's necessary to tone down it's density in refraction quite a bit as well... as right now they feel like bullets dropping from the sky when close up and electric sparks flying from somewhere from a…
So I didn't get the same error you have above. MaxScript usually tells you the line that it errored on, that's a good place to start. The error I see is that you are trying to select an array of Point3 values (resultsuvs). The select commands only work on bitArrays. There are several workflow improvements you can make to…

To make a properly exposed image you have to get a good ratio of these three things: ISO: sensativity, higher is more sensative to light (800 vs 200) but introduces more noise, and less dynamic range. Aperture: Larger apertures (represented by smaller numbers, 1.4 is larger than 2.8 ) let in more light at once. Shutter…
I'd get rid of the pop-up script when the viewer clicks an image and instead just go to a page with a larger version of the image. This will enable you to use much larger images; you've worked hard, so why not show off? I'd streamline the main page to 4 images, each the size of your current banner - one for personal…
It's been ~two months and wanted to check in to share results about using methods learned here from the ever-helpful Polycount community. Yesterday was mental health day and got me thinking about this discussion. Without boring people with personal details, the last seven months have involved: * studio closure / layoff *…
Thanks for the feedback, I assume you mean the translation widget which is used to rotate/move/scale your mesh? I'll be the first to admit the translation widget is far from perfect, this is something we may look into improving in the future. For now, it may help to understand how it works a little better, here are a few…
sounds pretty good what Rob and Xenobond said. alphatest = 0/1 decision is fast and can be treated same as regular geometry. It's also compatible with deferred shading, if the engine does that sort of stuff. Ie. no worries. alphablend = the "sorting" issue as mentioned. Basically Rob summed all the sorting options, whether…
