amen, i don't want to cry about maya because really it's not that bad, but i feel people who love maya have a kind of stockholm syndrome going on. sure maya treats you nice in some ways, but in the places that count it beats you round the head and shoves you in the boot of it's 1993 toyota corola and drives you down to…
I posted on zbrushcentral and was suggested a decent workaround using a handy plugin. check out the thread here: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?195745-PolyPaint-ISSUE-how-to-use-Alpha-map-for-depth-but-not-affect-RGB-intensity-in-brush&p=1152225#post1152225
Looking at max channel infos, on a 8066 vertices sphere mesh. mesh : 419kb vsel : 32kb (don't know what this is) alpha : 193kb illum : 193kb vc : 774kb map: 294kb so alpha+illum+vc = 1.13Mb total : 1.86Mb More than half of the model weight is dedicated to the vertex color and alpha, so maybe that's what they mean by heavy.
I really gotta agree with BringMeASunkist, When I think of a dune car I think Subaru Brat, a 1990's Toyota truck, or the old Volkswagen Dune Beetle.

Umm yes. the performance benefit is practical when I say ahhhh after hitting the button. That I am satisfied is the only measure of practicality. Can u prove me wrong? no. A 2600k renders a cinebench of 7 increased threads and the overclock room of an extreme processor like the i7-990x allows it to render 24/7 ( quietly at…
So this may be a huge wall of text, but bear with me (and yes, some of what I suggest may have already been pointed out to death here in this thread, but I think that just means a consensus has been reached as far as the critiques go). Maybe I will try to add some humor in here every so often, just to spice things up (I…
This might help on the whorl, not sure about the part. http://udel.edu/~mcdonald/mythhairwhorl.html "...Wunderlich and Heerema (1975) could see a hair whorl in only 10 percent of black newborns, and Ziering and Krenitsky (2003) reported that 80 percent of African-American men had a diffuse pattern instead of a whorl.…
