Hi, I'd like to make a High Poly male body with max, do you know a good tut ? Thanks in advance. Herv?-
2. high poly face tutorials - 3D Studio
Generally, whenever I use the optimise modifier to go from a high poly model to a low poly model I'm not very satisfied with the result. Most of the time I end up spending as much time tweaking as I would just rebuilding from scratch. Does anyone have tips or techniques they'd like to share for reducing a high poly model?
5. [script] high resolution/low quality scan to high quality screen-sized JPEG converter
(Crossposted to a.b.p.anime, as it was the motivation for this..)
I'd like to share a GIMP script I've just written for taking care of
high resolution image scans that needed some rote cleaning-up with the
Selective Gaussian Blur and Levels filters.
And because I prefer it that way, the script also scales the finished
image to the size of my screen (1024x768)...

# -- [scancleaner] ------------------------------------------------------------
# "600 dpi scan cleaner and screen-size scaler"
# Just the thing for converting high-resolution (but very low quality) scans
# into high-quality screen-sized JPEGs.
#
# Typical usage is something like:
#
# 1. One-off operation:
# $ scancleaner foo.png foo_screensized.jpg
#
# 2. Fix all the JPEG files in the current directory:
# $ for i in *jpg; do echo $i; scancleaner $i ${i%.jpg}_r.Jpg; done
#
# Note that the sel-guass operations can take a _lot_ of time and memory!
# (My AthonXP2000+ can take over 9 minutes on a 2500x3500 pixel image.)

Hi, What software can open .X files for editing? I've tried Milkshape, what I see is no options for importing X files just exporting them.. So any hints would be greatly appreciated... Freebie will be just as good.. Thanks Jack
