Are you sure there isn't a students' license somewhere?

Usually you need an active .edu email to sign up but mine is long gone.

Hmm... I see that for a while, it was possible to get one by applying online for canadacollege or californiacollege, but these tricks no longer work. (Canadacollege might still work, but there's a $50 application fee.) I don't think it's really worth all this hassle for a trial account. If a person really wanted to beat the system, they would probably do something else like try to download a list of licenses or something or look for a "patch" that fixes this requirement.  Not sure if Autodesk products "phone home" or not. I think Autocad and Revit do each time you log on. If that's so, then their other products probably do too. Better to just pay the fee or learn to use a freeware product.

Well, actually, my AutoDesk/CAD license is linked to a @gmail account. Don't knock it 'til you try it. I'm sure you could get something.

When all else fails, go blender :P

Both items look good. Can't wait to see the crossbow in game. Good job Mishka! \\o//

Student certificate is as good, for example for github student so its not always necessary.

Since this is my learning thread, I'll ask:

Does CrystalSpace/PlaneShift handle well smoothed meshes, or does it have to be all blocky?

Cheers.

I imagine it depends on how you do it. If you smooth it in a way that creates more polys you will need to watch your poly count.

Crystal Space can't handle as many tris as modern engines.

Is it like this because you are holding it in the right hand and it is a bit oversized?
I thought mishka made a crossbow not a portable ballista.  ;D

Edit comment: Thank you Aeghiss i wrote it from the phone so i didn't double checked it :P

*Aeghiss whispers : "Ballista Ani, Ballista !"



Well, that's a nice thing anyway. Even if having a temporary scale problem, it still announces crossbows to be available rather quickly. :D
