Re: Maya 2011 press release
Haha yeah that demo video for the "Assets and Referencing" made me very scared - it took ages to update the scene after the reference changed... however, it seems like this was because it was actually refreshing all the textures/shaders in the scene. Which is a bit weird, but would mean that if you don't have any textures,… -

Re: NDo2 or Crazybump
CrazyBump has a major limitation if you are using it in a production environment, it is completely destructive and if the art director asks you to edit your normal map you will want to cry. It is also a pain in crazy bump that there is no reload button if you want to go back and edit the greyscale or diffuse texture you… -
Re: Upgrading to Windows 8 and my 3D programs
I upgrades to Win8 64 Pro this week and there were no big issues. Backed up data, wiped reloaded. The thing that actually took the longest was reinstalling games from Steam.

Re: Mak 90 - Portfolio Piece

For example, the pistol grip would see a lot of wear, including the trigger guard. The forward grip area would also see a lot of wear, not just from handling the… -

Re: Which Baker??
Hi Thomasp. I've been playing with marmoset for a few hours and it's definitely an amazingly thorough baking interface where you can update or bake only some of the objects, reload them, etc. Amazing. BUT I have an issue and wanted to know if you ever faced the same ? : Marmoset regularly freezes when loading my high poly… -

3DS Max 2009 Weirdness
Hey guys, this is my first post so forgive any noobishness. Been using max for a few years but every now and then i'm working away and max likes to throw up new and strange things to baffle me. So right now, i was working on a model in vertex and all the lines and vertices turned black. Moving a vert now makes the entire…
