Also good to use layers so you can adjust the intensity

why should you miss your mouse ?

Most tablets come with a 2 t 3 button stylus anyway - I can left, right and middle mouse click with my stylus using the buttons it has which are nicely located for index figner and thumb

Yeah, the Intuos 3 also has buttons and a scroll pad so that you can have a few hotkeys to not need the keyboard very much.

finally, I'll see if I can isntall LOK Defiance and rip some sounds out of that game for you. Just can't give you any sort of ETA.

No worries, he's been done-ish, he could use another LOD perhaps. The weights aren't going to get any better, muscular characters never work on this skeleton, the structure isn't right.

The high-res mesh would be better tbh, then you can accurately generate all maps for painter.

Wrong. AO, Normal and Thickness are all maps that painter generates from a high res mesh. It generates the rest from the normal map and the lowpoly.

Only maps with the "HI" tag in painters baking menu need the high res mesh

the ball is trying to eat and kiss the box, rofl

Looks like ice cream land or Pacman in fast food restaurant

Once you learn the basic hotkeys it's not so bad. I know you have a tablet but to those who do not, the software is pretty much unusable.

My Problem is that I'm a UI/Menu/List guy. I do use a few hotkeys in my software but mostly use the UI buttons.

UI buttons are OK as long as it's simple text and not cartoon buttons where you have to hover your mouse over them to get the pop up text to remind you what they do.

I nope-ed out of there as soon as it said transformers. The internet has changed me.

Changed like Bruce Jenner?

Zingers.

amazing maaan

Not my model but speed sculpts are always fun to watch

That is one intense Mario on shrooms!

You could argue that none of the newer movies needed to be made, but I am glad that Rogue one, and Solo to a lesser extent, were made. I really liked Rogue one, and I feel like one of the few people that got any substantial enjoyment out of Solo. I think they were both good movies. 

What I absolutely hate the most about ROS more than the other two sequel movies that came before was how it essentially retconned so much from Return of the Jedi. That beautiful, perfect ending with Vader having his mask removed, him defeating the emperor, finally bringing balance to the force (killing all the jedi, then killing then the greatest Sith in history and therefore crumbling his empire  to ashes) was pointless. Sorry lol nah didn't matter gotta do second take

At least it seems that damn near everything beyond the sequel trilogy Disney has given us so far with Star Wars has been pretty OK. The comics look good, I liked Rebels a good amount, and Mandalorian seems pretty good. Just that this new trilogy man.... wtf was going on here?

I agree with Psyk0, I really enjoyed Rogue One, it felt like a REAL SW movie that Lucas himself made.

Disney failed sequel but succeeded in spin-off.

It's very impressive that Disney is good at making side series.

Rendering a Pixar film? xD

my friend who is serious about his coding work has a crap laptop with ~64GB of RAM just cause he needs it lol

You'd be surprised just how important large amounts of RAM can be for tasks one would think wouldn't be that demanding

Circa, 16 core/32 thread is mainstream now lol. Not even a wild setup.

Can't wait

Somewhere down the line there will be a graphics card that will be less expensive, and will be able to do more...

Yeah, I'll probably settle on a 3080 but a 3080ti is rumored...

I'm going to be building another pc over the course of next year, so I need to start looking into decent graphics cards.

Archangel, look at Ping, he knows what's up. The Dreamcast is a great console with great titles. There are older consoles out there that people go crazy over that aren't half as good as it. Definitely superior to a PSX or N64 which were it's competition at launch. I recently bought "Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver" for it and was blown away by the visuals being more than twice as good as the PSX or PC versions.

I just emulate dreamcast games on pc hehe Godzilla Generations is fun

Yeah but I has 60" smart TV, way bigger than PC monitor and nicer to sit on the couch. Also, the controller was quite well designed IMO.

that's handy

What's the best format to convert the glm to? Noesis doesn't have an xsi option.

I use FBX to get it into Max, it keeps bones and weights. However, you cannot use those bones ingame, you will need to obtain a proper set and copy the weights over.

Okay thanks. I messed around with putting Luke's head on the rebel pilot body. Toshi's model. The imported model was tiny compared to the other one. I'll wait for the rest of the tutorial videos. Sorry for blowing up your status mini!

Lol for some reason reading that made me think of N. Koreas space program XD

Lol.

Yep, Autodesk is a ******* joke.

It's funny, I got everything BUT the RJ45 crimper and punch down tool lol. All the parts but no tools to terminate cable ends. Hopefully they come tomorrow so I can do this sunday.

I ordered the tools at the same time, some stuff just came way faster than estimated.

I am one, but given that I think you work in SoftImage where as I work in Max and Maya, I doubt it will benefit me.

Well maybe someday, someone I know is trying to make a working .xsi exporter for the newer versions of max as well as a biped. As it stands even if someone took the time to make a custom rig for max it wouldn't work. I do remember people exporting stuff with older versions of maya, don't know if the newer ones have a .xsi exporter, at least for dotXSI 3.x, crosswalk is considered dotXSI 6.x which carcass wont take.

I don't even animate for JK or JKA, so I am not missing out, that is awesome you did that for XSI though.

Never as far as I'm aware.

Yeah, would be interested

@Xycaleth -- sorry, I guess I meant JKEnhanced.

I had almost forgotten about that map

Yeah it's even more annoying on hard difficulty. The bar fight wouldn't be doable without a saber I think.

Why take them out? I loved that level the snipers made it awesome!

Quake 3.

Thanks but that's a weird format that I can't seem to find any info on. What are people using to convert it to something more standard like OBJ?

Try Noesis.

That was the first thing I tried, guess I'm gonna have to do some digging.

I tried that, couldn't get it to work for some reason, the source SDK seems to have changed too much. There seems to be a Max script for importing MDL files that was used for the KotOR games which is what I want is KotOR models.

I cannot find a download link for the MDL import maxscript... but there is an import plugin for HalfLife2 MDL format... are they identical? Else send me the maxscript. Wait... I just found a Bioware Neverwinter Nights MDL importer and exporter plugin on maxplugins.de. I can try to process the files for you next week. Just email them to me.
