Ooh, thanks. Using the top one. I like a nice, mostly black background with just a bit of flavor.

Hi,

I was wondering if I could use this texture in my work. I looked around to see if it was CC-licensed, but I could only find “Copyright” in the footer.

thx,
Niobos

By “Popcap” you meant “Nintendo”, right?

Comment on .dds and you (maya) by Collin Tullius

@Dan Clancy: Have you tried using a layered shader where each layer is one piece? Also maybe try messing with MipMaps to change the texture rez based on how close you are.

@Ryan: Have you tried using maya’s built in mental ray image converter to convert the .dds files to .maps for lightmap generation? it’d be a bit messy, but if you make a script to run right before baking lighting that swaps out the textures with .map equivalents, it should run decently well in MR.

Comment on Fun With Beards by mikecycle

i jusst googled beards and have stumbled across this blog.

as a beardy myself, i agree that people generally treat me, a typically handsome man, quite different when i have a cat glued to my face.

but i love that cat, and do not need their approval!
stand strong.
beard on.
