    Real3d R3D/100, has anyone ever seen it?

    What is your favourite texturing method?

    Pretty much everyone uses UV mapping and yes, Photoshop and GIMP are used for texture. UV map, then do an initial sketch of what you want (major features) inside your 3d modeller, then export the map to Photoshop. In 3d non-game context parallax maps aren't used, that's more of a real-time...

    Winamp and vista aero basic error

    I have run into a similar problem at work (god I hate Vista) - it seems the bit that says "Disable aero" will sometimes not get reset to 0 when exiting an application that accesses the framebuffer directly. So the only fix is a restart :/ EDIT: to be specific, I didn't run into this with...

    I've noticed this too happening in the awesomebar as well (read: sites NOT imported from anywhere else). FF 3.0.1 here. FWIW, Opera farks up and loses the icons some times too.
