Re: From Blendshapes to Bones
One of the reasons for using bones is to have the game engine blend between the shapes using rotations... not just linear interpolation between positions. Unless you want that, which actually might be more accurate representation of vertex morphing, which is linear (but sux ass for things like eyelids and jawbones). So you… -

Here's the problem: I'm stretching the particles out a lot so that they're pretty long, which actually causes two problems... First,… -
Re: Free Maya/max cgfx/fx Shader

Re: Normal Map Issues at UV-Seams
It's better to embed the images directly into your post, than to use Attach File (which makes it difficult to scroll through the images).
