Valves smd format is pretty good, it has a lot of community supported tools for blender, and some tools for 3dsmax, it's an ascii format, though its fairly extensive. IIRC (I haven't worked with it in a while) it has support for some shaders as well as lighting, the official docs are here, though you may want to look at the texture mapping part as vtf/vmt files (whats used for materials) are what handle all of that.
EDIT: Slight correction.

.smds also save the skin, something I consider pretty valuable for all models. the only thing I don't really like about the .smd model format is that whenever I import the model, all parts get lumped under one object, so if I want to make an object modification, i have to painstakingly detach an object and edit it and reskin it.

i can't care about the nx when we still know next to nothing about it. it's far too far into the future.

It was a board about hacking some Kirby game. It was 'officially' owned by Nin but was hosted and run by Scrydan.


Why they chose to name it after a level editor is beyond me.

probably because "kale kaverns" sounded cool or something

Complain about it here

Personally, while I'm not a huge Paper Mario fan, the direction the series is going in isn't good. I'm not raging that it's not a Thousand-Year Door sequel, but Sticker Star has a myriad of problems from its design core that I doubt a sequel to it can fix. Unless it impresses me with a ton of improvements to the original Sticker Star formula, I'm staying overly cautious about this game.

Oh yes I am. I've joined here after I joined Rvlution, as I like updates on hacking news as well as maybe finding out more games I can mod. Also I guess I can expand my knowledge as well.

I'm pleased to see you here, actually. I had been to your DSHack websites several times and I'm pretty interested in making a hack for Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart 7, so if I get around to making some stuff for the game, I'll most likely visit there for the information and tutorials on how to do so.

yeah, would help if this model format also saves the rig

why is video game related things worse than, say, reviewing for a cartoon show? if I recall correctly, Viashit and other companies are worse than the video game ones when it comes to copyright shit.

You probably answered this before but why did you call yourself "StapleButter"?

Love the comparison. Is there any modern cars that compare to these? I mean, the Windows sounds like a typical Sedan like a Toyota Camry.

I wish I can delete horrible comments on deviantart rather than simply flagging them for spam. Well thank goodness the block users functions exist. I hate it when idiots attempt to troll me.

welcome aboard


in unrelated news, editprofile now has the theme preview feature, select a theme and it's applied live

Will previewing post layouts ever become a thing?

Oh yeah, I hate that, restricting the most basic things such as viewing images to account creation. I might "get" attached files, but normal embedded images? No.

There is a site called "mugen archive" or something like that and it requires an account to use the search function. I wanted to punch an admin there.

This so much

I hate it when websites restrict it so you have to have an account. It's just an extra inconvenience and a gigantic annoyance to people who don't care about talking to others.

Mario is the series we care most about and love the characters and stuff.

maybe you should do a game console comparison

I remember imageshit used to be a viable option for an image uploading website

Now you have to pay to use their prenium services aka uploading anything at all after some damn free trial period.

Why the crap would anyone want to use it anymore, especially when crapobucket (even though its slow and crappy) and Imgur are far superior (and actually free) choices to that. And now, everyone who used to use imageshit gets their images replaced by an ugly icon and screws smaller images up.

EDIT: Lol the forum "censoring" ImageShaack

In scientific practices and tests, driverless cars should reduce the number of accidents because a huge majority of it is caused by human error from driving rather than mechanical failure; however humans being unpredictable and some who want to override auto-controls in favor of manual (even though it should be used only in emergencies rather than a choice) are a variable that science can't predict, hence why it causes more crashes.

However, with Google Car, the only accidents suffered with the test drives were people who bumped into them, rather than the machine conking out.

I still don't think we know enough about driverless cars to draw conclusions from, as they're still in the testing stages.

do you like butter on your toast

Haven't made my proper introduction yet.

Uh I'm Baby Luigi. I come from Rvlution. I make model imports and stuff for various games. My current projects involve Steam mods (Garry's Mod, Left 4 Dead 2), Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Party 9, and uh, other things.

Would love to expand my palette of games I port Baby Luigi to games I know how to mod.

I also edit MarioWiki but my drive to edit there is kinda dwindling in favor of creating mods.

At the moment I'm busy making things for Garry's Mod.

Operating system wars are around as dumb as console ones.

Meh, not sure if creating content for gmod counts as "hacking" but whatever, here, any of you who play gmod, play with your shiny new baby character ragdolls
