no replies, no comments?!
when did that screening-could that up to 12 hours-of replies kick in?
It is pissing me off! It takes 12 hours or less of course to reply to a thread but I still see a huge amount of bs posts all over the place!
please explain and i’d love some comments on my previous post!
ps. when i’m about to press submit reply i am already looking forward to the message saying, it could and problably will take 12 hours to screen your useless and a-proffesional reply!

michel, my last post here was on August 2003, don’t expect me to remember all the things I wrote before that…
I think that so far I had made clear my point. There’s a lot of hipocrisy in all this piracy stuff. The one who denies that companies don’t need piracy is really really naive. Indirectly companies support piracy, they need it, and they are wise enough to let it happen at the personal or hobby or learning level. And of course they will never admit that in public !!! although many did.
I don’t support piracy at all.
and I don’t know why you mentioned this…
“remember: Be courteous and polite. Show respect to the opinions and feelings of others. Use of the forums is a privilege, not a right.”
Maybe you said this to me and the only thing I have to say is that
I’ve been extremely careful and polite and I made my point in a completely correct way. Saying things that people don’t want to hear, and specially TABOO stuff like warez and piracy and all those sensitive topics may bother some people but they should respect and hear my point as I respect theirs.
I think this forum is AWESOME cos it’s the more profesional one, and an amazing well of knowdlege but I have the feeling of it as already a traditional institution.
This is like the Church, you can’t talk about porn in church.
Same here, piracy is always seen as satan, as an act of shamless sinners and I strongly reject that. Hipocrisy makes me sick.
Anyway, I suggest you read all of the things I posted here during las year and check where’s any lack of respect towards other people’s opinion.
cheers
Sorry nico3d, i don’t think i made myself very clear! 
I was just glad you mentioned the posibility that people on this forum could be using educational versions! And could might have been a reason there not up to the high standard as some of the others :bowdown:
The part about people being disrespectfull was completely not directed at you! I’ve read all your posts (in this thread) and i agree with you on most maybe even everything you say!

ps. the “remember: Be courteous and polite. Show respect to the opinions and feelings of others. Use of the forums is a privilege, not a right.” part was more directed at people using AIDS and 3ds MAX forums in one sentence.
Just one question, If you post a “unacepted” thred, will you get informed that it have’nt been acepted (I mean, so that you can write a new one insted off sitting here waitng for it to pop up)?
'couse I feel that I might have written such a thing…
SOOOORRYY!!
It was before I red this thred. And (as you might notice) I’m a nooob.
If my thred is unwanted, I’m going to rewrite it, 'couse it was’nt my mening to write it a way that you veterans find frustrating.
There!
I posted the new one. Thanks for the “How to write a thred”. I do understand that some “nooby” threds can be iritating.
Thanks for helping us noobs write better ones!
Dumb questions are asked by laisy people, whou don’t take the time to dig for the info, they just want everything ready and at their disposal. I know this, because there are people who call me late at night, just to hear again what I explained (step by step) in the afternoon.
They are just affraid to experiment.
Just occured me: Mr Equinoxx should put there one more line:
When someone has hard time with something, should mention in the post everything he/she tried to solve the situation.
just for my curiosity , how much for 3dsmax 7 + cs studio and all the plugins that i need as an modeler + all those licenses?
Actually, Max 7 has character studio built in with no additional price. As for “all the plugins you need as a modeler”, I can’t think of a single one. Max has a robust modeling system. You can extend it with any number of free scripts, or write your own.
So the answer to your question is basically, the cost of 1 license of Max 7.

I know english isn’t a first language for everyone here, but it does make life much easier when posts are broken up into paragraphs.
I don’t mind trying to decipher someone’s question if it’s less than clear, but reading huge blocks of text is harder than text that is broken up.
Try pressing enter at each major point, and after you ask a question.
Make sure you post what ver of max you are using. Especialy if you are using an older version.
I’m so sick of people not being able to open a max file after I have fixed somthing in there scene.
I don’t personally mind if the mods sound harsh. If the problem escalates to such a degree where he has to get angry, then I think he has a right to crack down on it.
This community is probably the best I have been in, because of its professionalism (and the quality of the work). It would suck if it turned into a place where all that is said is “very nice” when critiquing a piece. cough… DA cough…
btw. is it preferred that questions are asked in a WIP thread (for a specific project) or in one of the application specific forums? (just in case I need help, but I kinda have to learn something first.)
Oh, another helpful hint is to use punctuation. It wouls have been fun to read my post if it was all one sentence without capital letters or commas or brackets or full stops (which are periods for you yanks).
This is a good issue to discuss…
My thoughts…
Pirated versions of s/w.
This is a catch 22. You see, the reason this place is so big isn’t because of all the people who are “Professionals” or “Gods” or whatever. This place is big because it is a good source of knowledge. Reason before this place got big it used to be cool, help all around.
Next thing, Why would someone spend 3 million bucks on something they plan on doing nothing with? in other words most people on this site can give a crap about the monetary reasons of what 3d can bring, but what it can do for them in a game. In other words Modders. They use the s/w to make models in a game and that would be about it… Example for me would be GTA III, some would be BF2, others UT 2k4…
Get the point.
I actually think this post just knocked the professionalism down a few notches.
But that’s just me.
As for yelling at people to do the right thing… Yes there is a billion sites about 3d good for them… This place 3dTotal, and a few other places are the same as this…
Anyway that’s all I have to say… If your nice people will follow, If you are mean people will revolt.
Learning Curve???
Ever hear of ADD/ADHD?(Altho I am not giving an excuse for everyone… I am one of those people who ask retarded questions so I can learn.)
Ya it works wonders, some people cant comprehend things like normal people… so they ask simple stupid questions to get a better grasp at it.
But when they get a clue look out cause their work can really kick ass… and they learn about 80% faster than normal people… Trust me on that one… I can prove it positive…
::EDIT:::
Knowledge is a powerful tool. Therefor it should be free, so all can learn.
hello,
i am a freshman ,i want to learn more about molding,texturing,etc.
can you tell a forum which i can get tutorials about all.
thanks.

OUTSTANDING MAGIG! bravo DeathGoth
give it to them, let them know, that the best come out of those that use pirated software.
they all know this and u’ve said it all, and deep in them they all know this but come in the open they will never accept this for whatever u call legal matters for the site, which i agree that with them but that doesnt mean they should get that rash with the issue on people like us.
i said people like us cos i’m one of them thouhg i’ve not come out with an outstanding work yet but i’m on it. and to be precise i would tell you that it would cost almost 500,000 bucks to get a copy of the max software in my currency which is naira and i bet u that non of you know that this is the Nigerian currency(doubt even if you know where Nigeria is)
and right here 3ds max and autocad are the leading design viz application and with the easiest resources.
so you moderators and forum leaders i would really want u to know that this software companies dont even consider the third world countries where when the price of their softwqare if converted to some local currencies will become outragoius and practically impossible to purchase not even the 600 dollars max 7 as said by eek
and who says there is nothing for an illegal software user? there is all that just needs to b done is get an outstanding workpiece and viola! u have a job at disney or any top studio frm ur portfolio then there that promots the software and then it will b paid for cos now the artiste will have money to pay for it. though i’m not supporting software piracy
i’m sorry if anyone takes offence in this but that is how it goes more like stages in life or the gravity that draws man to the earth
so moderators and forum leaders please i beg b mild about handling the issues
cheers all
Anyone gotta keygen for Max 5? NO… sorry, couldn’t resist that, Only joking. My son uses Max at school and now he has got a student licence that cost a faction of the retail price so he can use it at home as well as school.
