If you drew that in MS-Paint, (1st post) i've got a 5ft penis.

I was learning guitar when I was 6/7 but gave it up after a while. Now I regret that but im trying to teach myself at home when I get a spare afternoon or something.

As a regular instrument, does my mates Guitar Hero controller count?

Pffft. I give up, lol. All day on google and wiki and nothing even close. :/

How can it be the ONLY way? If someone can back that up with facts, be my guest.

I've had as many decent races without wreckers on a demo server as much as any S2 server; before I got my licence and since... Drift, drag, proper racer, whatever... And i've always seen deliberate wreckers on S2. The only difference is that on S2, your more likley to have an Admin on at that time to ban the wrecker, where as with the demo, you wont.

Quote from garph :

..........but they should get S2 tho

I have more posts that you so I know best!

Right, so the fact you have 3 posts more than me (at time of posting) makes you know best... Wow, someones got a big penis...

(and trying to come back saying it was a joke blah blah wont work as it wasnt even remotly funny in the first place. :/ )

Quote from garph :

Pressuring him into buying S2? When did anyone do that?

Everytime i've read a thread with a demo racer saying something about the conduct in a demo server, it leads to post after post after post of people saying, basicly, get S2...

If that isnt preasure, I must go back to nursery and start my education all over again.

Quote from garph :

Only way out is S2.

The only way out is NOT S2... As much as I would like to see more people on S2, demo players shouldn't be pressured into buying it...

Find a decent server, or host / rent your own. If an admins on, confide in them... Or stick to your guns and wait a while, they will sod off eventualy seeing you aint budging.

I'm starting to think its a photoshop.

Yes, making an entire game is a pretty daunting task, but not when its spread out over 5 years.

Modelling isn't as bad as you think Rock, and the more you do it, the faster and easier it becomes. Texturing on the other hand is still what takes the longest, and that most likely won't change to much in the future.

Hmm yeah, true. But then again, it varies per person I would of thought. Your perception and my perception into making a game over a time would be different as were on different levels to one another. (Knowledge and experience.)

Yeah i've sped through many a'model only to be held up with the texture. Beings its whats gonna make the model look the part, it has to be spot on and me being somewhat a perfectionist (to the pixel, lol) its drags the project on.

Whatever it is. It has the same wing mirror as a new Mini...

Graphicly making a WHOLE game is immense. Normaly you would have loads of graphics artists in one house of which would share the load.

(My knowledge from here is sketchy, but I think im on the right track)

If we were to take LFS as an example, each car in the game would of been made by one person. So, 24cars would be done by 24 people, 12 by 12 etc whatever the number. Each track would also most likly be done by one person, or even sections done by seperate people, but all working to a strict limit. So, one person would make BL straight, someone else the wee bridge, someone else the next corner and so on. It all depends where / what the company does.

I can make a model of a car in hours... BUT, thats sloppy work that has to be chamfered and turbosmoothed to look even slighly decent. Recently, I started to make low-ish poly cars for another game and they take me weeks or more. You gotta model, make textures and uvw unwraping, smoothing groups have to be perfect or it's look shite then tested ingame. From there touchups would be made and the process might have to be re-done...

But, a whole game, graphicly made by one man, is a big bloody job! And I dont think anyone can fault it... So give the man some slack.

I learnt Max with just random tutorials on the internet when I knew nothing about Max... I'm now a dab hand at it.

I think it depends on what your like. I'm the sorta guy who knows his way around all the extra bits in Photoshop, so Max is kinda on the same page there so i'm clicking about all the time. Most people see buttons and click or use the occasional shortcut key/combo, and I think Maya (I haven't personaly used it, but I know someone learning it now) is much like this. Very interface button intensive.

But yeah, to the OP, if a restart of Max doesn't fix your problem, delete the 3dsmax.ini in the main dir, that's always sorted any problem i've come across. xD

EDIT: I gotta read thread better. xD
