[QUOTE=Legend286;35122680]Trig while programming != trig on paper. You NEVER need to know how trig stuff works, just that it works for what you're doing with it. Trig is used a lot in shaders, and not once have I had to actually think about anything. All that matters is Sine is a linear wave from -1 - 1, and combined with cosine which is basically an offset sine wave (0.5 of phase) you can make circles. It's nothing complicated, but can be used to create complicated effects, and also calculate things like angle of arc for ordinance and etc.[/QUOTE] And not something you need to know when testing games. I would never sit and work out if a rocket launcher is having a realistic amount of drop, it's more a case of checking to make sure it works as intended.
[QUOTE=Juniez;35108379]you might have had a great defensive statement, but that doesn't excuse you from acting egotistical and childish[/QUOTE] I admit that I did act like a child, and for that I do feel bad. Also, I can have a big ego but who does not at some points? As for me appearing to look like a child to him, it is because he would not let up about something and I simply got fed up with it. If I knew that he would attempt to bash my rep I would have kept the chat log so I could show that he is just as much to blame as I am. In short I was trolled and did not handle it well. PS. If you still think I'm and egotistical child, you can think that. For I cannot change your mind on it, all I can do is to remain in a respectable manner to any and all that message me. (Message me sometime and you'll see.)

[QUOTE=Legend286;35122460]Plus no-one cares about maths unless you're going into a job in which you'll use it a lot. Even then you use a computer / calculator so who cares. I got a B in maths at GCSE, and I haven't used anything complex since I started college 2 years ago.[/QUOTE] At "high level" maths doesn't use numbers. Its more a state of mind/way of approaching problems.
[QUOTE=Eyefunk;35123606]Someone tell you about this thread? Cause I thought you said you were not coming back.[/QUOTE] That was my original intention as I'm not a huge fan of this community. But I did not feel that it was just to sit idle whilst someone was bashing my name. Also, yes someone did tell me about this thread.
*hugs tophatwaffle Unfortunatly, your name makes me hungry.

On another note, does anyone have some very efficient and intuitive tutorials on how to get started using 3DS Max? That would be great!

I understand Max better than Maya but do not know how to export an SMD from Max / cannot get it working, but I can export an SMD from Maya. However, I cannot get ConTEXT to compile a .qc file as it seemingly does nothing when I hit F9 after binding F9 to the proper command. If someone can assist with this, I'll show pics.
[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;35124272]At "high level" maths doesn't use numbers. Its more a state of mind/way of approaching problems.[/QUOTE] I'm quite aware of that, but for actual application maths isn't so difficult. Only the thickest people, or people who are too lazy have problems with Maths or English. Anyone who isn't perfect at their own language by the time they're 16 are just lazy outright. The only time when it's okay is when they have a valid medical condition such as dyslexia.

Some people just don't get it.
A disability is only such if you allow it to be. The same goes for fears. Kudos to all those who have a disability and yet retain a resonably normal life.
I disagree, a friend of my mine is dyslexic and he's one of the hardest workers I know, he's constantly studying, but he fails all his exams.
Is having an extremely low white blood cell count mark as a disability? Cause I get sick like, every other day, its annoying.
[QUOTE=Eyefunk;35136320]Is having an extremely low white blood cell count mark as a disability? Cause I get sick like, every other day, its annoying.[/QUOTE] Surely you should be on immune boosters. Go yell at your doctor.
I have really bad problems with anxiety and stress. Keeps me sick for about half the day until I get home. Its basically just excess stomach acid. Not really a disability I just can't eat that much.
[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;35136397]Surely you should be on immune boosters. Go yell at your doctor.[/QUOTE] Alright, brb gonna go yell at doctor.
