And it needs shadows...
But i disagree, if it were made, it shouldn't be deleted. But improved/optimized.
Shadows would be 2x more times of work =/
I don't know how it's done in 3D Max, but in Blender, i put a plane underneath the model and turned "Shadows only" for that particular plane, so it doesn't appear in render, but receives a shadow.
Actually, me and Jotisz were trying to import Karpov's animations and render them in frames, but Blender seem to warp the .x files with import. I also tried to import .nif files from Bethesda and got some frames, but... It kinda seemed perverted to have a place in Fallout game.
