if you think mask are pretty big, you are doing something wrong :(
Masks are usually grayscale if you want soft edges, or b&w (1 bit) if you don't mind some jaggies. Then they are zipped and should be in the 10k range or less, usually 2 or 3k Starheart [View Quote] cit database searches like in other competing 3D chatsMay 24, 2005, 10:21am
Here are a few things I have not seen covered as I did a search on all the
topics: There is no build in search in the AW browser for cits that are online (excluding the ones with the question mark of course). Secondly, it is really annoying to send telegrams to cits that are expired without having any knowledge that the gram is going into the bit bucket. There needs to be a way to mark expired cits in your contact list. Just my 2 cets worth. Starheart cit database searches like in other competing 3D chatsMay 30, 2005, 1:58am
Well things are not that simple as a model maker. I am not here to chat
to everyone on my contact list like others who are here just for that purpose.. I sometimes need to contact a customer maybe 6 months later for one reason or another, and I have no idea if they have left AW or not. Starheart [View Quote] Merlin world contents moved to MythopiaDec 2, 2004, 7:59pm
in case anyone wants to know, I moved all my content to Mythopia,
my new world. Merlin will morph to whatever the original owner wants to do with it. So I don't want anyone to be surprised and think I have gone. I will also be using a new cit# but same name. Starheart Shrek house for sale :)Dec 24, 2004, 12:05am
Free vs Not FreeAug 23, 2005, 6:45pm
As a model creator, I have just started to read some of the postings
in this newsgroups. I still don't think people understand the distinction between various forms of free. So I will try to enlighten the ones that care, and the ones that don't care, I don't care about, lol. The most free for lack of better word, is Public Domain. Those are things that truly belong to everyone without restriction, like the air we breathe. Those items, once modified by anyone can and will be resold by the person that modifies them in any way, sort of like a miner that takes the "free" coal out of the ground. If of course they are not modified, than of course there is no reason to pay money for them. Now there are restricted free, as in the case with models that have a copyright notice on them, like mine do, and this will have various restriction from not being able to redistribute, or modify the mesh, or resell them for money. The various free sites that TaLLan mentioned have various kinds of free versions. As an example, take my free Athena model, that I reduced the polys on. In the original notice it is very clear that it can't be resold, even when modified. AW has a chorse.rwx, that is a public domain model made by the company LightWave, makers of the same named 3D program. As it is without restriction, the modified horses, which various modelers in AW have used as the basis for their modification of horses, including mine, can be legally sold as a derivative, as defined under the copyright law. Since some of you are so annoyed at people selling free stuff, look at this link, and I bet you paid money for some of the books on here that are FREE and in the public domain.. http://www.gutenberg.org/ Enjoy, Starheart |
