That does look very impressive.. both in graphics and control mechanics.

I'm just sharing this tutorial I thought this was cool

I should have read more of the thread... Thanks for the clarity

Why? I guess the "why" is why would this mean a stop to the previously reported work of Dr. Pettersson for the Foundry... It's just normal 'stop' future development type of thing that occurs when a company decides they need to sell. You don't spend money on R&D when you are unloading ...

I just realized that this puts the kibosh on Dr. Pettersson's work with improving Sculptris...


Huge Sadness

I purchased both Substance Painter and Bitmap2Material thru Steam and Allegorithmic gave me permanent licenses to install if I wish. Once you install anything thru Steam you never need to be on the internet again to use your installs. I was very hesitant about Steam myself... Steam is as close to 'N...

TD's have no artistic talent whatsoever. They can't even draw (except the ones that do have artistic talent) and artists do not think technically at all, They can't even do basic arithmetic (I'm not including the ones that can think technically) Elvis never did die... he turned into a TD [media]htt...
