Looking for a Book on Character Animation Techniques (Programmer, not Artist) I'm building a character animation system. I'm familiar with the basic options (tweening, IK, etc). However, I'd like a book that discusses the different techniques in higher detail than online tutorials. Maybe it's not a whole book. Maybe...

Argh! Please tell me why I'm an idiot - 3DS Max Texture Mapping Issue I'm still a noob at 3ds max. I've texture-mapped some things before, but I still get stuck on stupid stuff. In the screenshot above you can see a soda can model I am working on. I've mapped the UVs correctly (as you can see in the UV...

How to keep your site from getting 'framed'? I assume this is an easily solved problem or the web would be in chaos. My website www.roblox.com is being displayed in a full-window frame at http://www.places.tk. * How can I prevent this? * What is their motivation for framing my site? Can...

Can You Save What Remains of my Sanity?! - Very Simple UV Map Question [3DS MAX 8] Here's the deal. I'm trying to make a Moon for my game. All I need to do is texture a sphere. That's it. I've created a GeoSphere, converted it to Editable Poly, and I threw a Spherical UV Map Modifier on it. Great. I get a very pixel-eff...

Simple Software Security? EDI is totally right. Anti-piracy measures are pointless and only upset paying customers. I pirate software that I've already bought just to avoid having to put the CD in the drive to use it. There is absolutely nothing you can do to prote...

Argh! Please tell me why I'm an idiot - 3DS Max Texture Mapping Issue So I was able to make it work correctly, but all I did was delete the Unwrap UV modifier, re-apply it, and 'reset UVs' on the modifier panel. I'd still be interested in knowing what I did wrong. I didn't find the texture panel the dyslexic...

How to keep your site from getting 'framed'? So what would stop these people from floating an iframe above our login panel and stealing passwords? Are you guys telling me that there is no solution for this problem? If so, why isn't Wells Fargo and Bank of America being framed from Turkey...

ROM 255 levels Demo coming with 10 levels soon Looks great! I've played around with the idea of making some SilverLight games. How long would you say it took you guys to put this together? How do you feel about SilverLight as a gaming platform? Last time I looked at their stuff, they did...

XWars Hey I'm also looking at writing a geometry wars-type game for fun. I'm wondering how suited you found SDL for doing this sort of game? Is performance good when you try to start drawing millions of particles?

Interactive windows in DX9 Oh man that looks awesome. What is the framerate on the window update? i.e. could I watch a YouTube video in it?

will linux ever be able to takeover windows in popularity All they really need to do is sit down and write drivers for the 1 million peripherals people want to plug into their machine. That's why people use Windows, Microsoft pays people to do the shitwork that no open source idealogue wants to do. Just...

Lightning Storms Hiya, your screenshots look great, both here and in your gallery. I downloaded your demo and was a little disappointed - has it been updated recently? There's no lightning.
