Who wants Vray?

Go here http://www.chaosgroup.com/en/2/index.html
Make an Account, download Vray for 08 or 09 (its only a kind of sample version, but it has no limitation on time, and it will probably still be better than the piece of shit default renderer on 3Ds Max)
Install it
Go through these tutorials http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uja6aoggJ3g&feature=related

And now your lights bounce off your objects like normal fucking lights should do :)

Labels

Heeeeellllloooooooooooooooo

ok now to business. There are too many labels in the labels section...not pointing fingers but PIFA STOP ADDING SO MANY LABELS so I reckon we should keep it to specific categories and every time we post put em in one or the other eg.

2Danimation
3Danimation
LinkToArtist
LinkToBLog

etc etc
Oh and one other thing, you can add more labels if you like for the search bar, but those other labels wont appear in the labels panel.

gimme your ideas
