      @eezstreet I don't follow them because their posts were obnoxious. And that completely is straying from the important part of this. I see these phonies taking advantage of something that people are really dealing with, and it's not right. I have nothing against lgbtq people but it bothers me when someone starts running around attacking everyone that is "cis" and calling them insensitive jerks.

      Ever heard of VirtualBox? ;) Put any professional software that you need that doesn't exist for Linux in a virtual Windows box. Problem solved. I currently have a JKA modding box (used it for creating the Ahsoka model), and a Photoshop box. They're like working environments for that specific task. I have the virtual boxes directly accessing related files and folders on my actual drive. Just make sure you have at least 5GB of RAM, and lots of storage -- but that's not so hard to co...

      ...come across these days. Also, if you can, use Windows XP for these. When uncluttered, boot time is so much quicker for XP than any other version of Windows.

      It costs a little in performance, but the benefit you get is that your OS and primary working environment does not clutter and slow down. The virtual boxes are running isolated from the rest of the system. You can then install any tool you need in there, no matter how crummy the software. If you're doing regular backups, you can just restore an earlier version of the box if things go sour in Windows.

  3. New animation rig waiting approval, if you're still making animations with Dragon then you probably only just discovered fire.

      I have the resources for the Maya8 dotXSI exporter... when I get most of my 3dsMax projects completed I will look into updating it for newer versions of Maya.

      Oh yeah, blender can save GLA but I don't think anyone has taken the time to make a biped for JA in that, most people using it just kitbash models so their knowledge of the program is probably very limited. Softimage EXPORTS dotXSI but does not save it directly, it's not a scene file, the scene files are .EXP. It of course supports a handful of other formats for source engine, cry engine, unreal engine and other formats for file exchange between other softwares.

    4. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      One huge thing I forgot, Dragon CANNOT create anything, only make animations for an existing skeleton. I can create whatever I want. Oh and yes, there is a tutorial by me how to get an animation into the game. It's a tiny bit out dated only because the rig has gone through a lot of changes but any Softimage tutorial can teach you the basics of animation.

      Well the thing is with Softimage on the laptop is that I didn't install that after Windows 10, it was on there before and the OS was win7, no re-installation needed. It starts, just crashes when you select objects.

      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!

      You don't need the internet to use steam, just download the games and IM, if the games are already installed then you don't need it.

      I believe you, but all my looking into with Skyrim offline shows it to be a hassle. Have to make sure that steam is set to offline and stored on the machine (or such) or else it doesn't work. My plan is/was to go to my parents or friends to get games and then go offline at home.

      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.

      Jedi Outcast has a great campaign and is worth getting just for that.

      Yeah, Front Mission 4 works but it can be very laggy when the attack animations play as well as really messed up shadows. Tried some suggestions from others but for some reason I could never resolve it. I would like to try the netplay though with my friend only because netplay is no longer possible and it's Front Mission 5 which was Japan only, somehow someone modded the .iso so it has English subs as well as menus.

      Definitely 2 for my favourite RE game as well. I'm a sucker for the classics. And yes, instead of a proper remake, all we got were HD versions and the oddity that was the dark chronicles railshooter.

      Actually i dont find it difficult, i have the medium version and it covers the screen range just fine. I know some have mentioned they didnt like working on their over sized intuos, makes the extra hand traveling unecessary and tiring. Maybe if i tried one i'd find it better and would dump my relic.

    4. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      I liked having something that was closer to the size of the screen. Mine just needs a new mouse, for some reason the left and right click buttons like to wear out and I didn't like shelling out $70 on a new one every time it happened so I just bought a cheap wireless mouse to use instead.

    3. Kualan

      Kualan

      Most of the WIP threads seem to be from kitbashers (like myself). I can't speak for the others, but the reason I made a collective thread was because Blender made kitbashing so easy, the sheer quantity of WIPs I was able to produce in a short amount of time made it feel inappropriate to clog up the sub-forum with dozens of different threads.

       

      I do believe significant projects (a from-scratch 3D model, a brand new map, etc) are still very much deserving of their own threads.

    4. Kualan

      Kualan

      That said, MagSul has the right idea. It would definitely make sense for the big WIP threads to include an updated 'contents' page in the first post.

       

      I'll have to find the time to do that for mine...

      Hmm... that Windows 10 sure seems like more trouble than it's worth -- drivers misbehaving everywhere... :/

       

      It could be that it was just an OpenGL rendering issue in Windows 10, as you say, but it sounds more to me like a Softimage compatibility bug (with Windows 10). I thought it was something more recognisable and general 3D rendering related, but this way it could be anything, really.

       

      Glad to know it works now.

      Arms at 45 deg btw is much better for deformation and animating. The shoulder and pecs are at rest in that position.

    3. Archangel35757

      Archangel35757

      maybe the shoulders are more natural at 45 degrees...but a T-Pose puts the arms approximately at the mid-point of their full range of motion.

    4. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      No, to get the arms in the hands up position you're rotating your arms on a totally different axis. 45° is the middle of a global Z axis from a front perspective.

      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.

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

    3. AshuraDX

      AshuraDX

      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.

    4. AshuraDX

      AshuraDX

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