Thought I'd add a link to an old page I did as a resource for goniometric lighting..there's also a tutorial there and at the bottom a link to an even older web page with some other "tips" .. additionally I made an excel spreadsheet which helps with hotkey setup which I will (hopefuly) attach here...
I was an avid user of TS a couple years ago so this stuff might not be applicable to versions after 5.....
first, the link:

Here's a site that has loads of Freeware stuff, in all categories. Some stuff you could use in connection with tS [eg 2D editors & texture making progs], & anything else... well, if it's free that leaves you more money to spend on upgrading either your computer or your version of tS, so it's still relevant. :D

Steinie: Just a suggestion, but wouldn't it be better to edit the 1st post of the thread & put the links in there. If you wanted, you could add a little note next to them to say when they were added. There's no reason you couldn't do new posts as well [so that people would know you'd added something to it], but if you pasted the links into the 1st post as well people would be able to find the links just by looking there, instead of having to read the whole thread [i]so far[/b], but who know's how big this thread will get :)]. |

What does "sticky" mean when talking about a forum?
Sorry, I know it's off topic, but I want to know this. I never knew what this meant, and yet I see it on all the forums out there. |
