Re: XSIDatabase.com Updates!

[Eric Thivierge <eric(at)xsidatabase.com>]

UPDATE:

I have revamped the upload page and ALL the coding to go along with it. 
Took me all weekend but hopefully it is mostly bug free. Please email 
the admin if you run into errors.


EVERYONE MUST UPDATE THEIR MATERIALS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE DATABASE. 
PEOPLE WILL GET A 404 ERROR IF YOU DO NOT UPLOAD THE STAND ALONE .PRESET 
FILE


You can now:
1) upload ONE preview picture. Thumbnail is automatically made.
2) upload ONE production render. Thumbnail is automatically made.
3) Mark that it is tileable.
4) Upload the .preset file on its own.
5) Upload a supporting .zip file for texture files.

NOTES:
- There are a bunch of new fields for you guys to fill in to help 
everyone understand the material better.
- The production render image is a picture where you've used the 
material in a real world project
- You can click and drag on the download link into XSI to apply the 
preset files now. (An optimized Netview version of the site will come in 
time.)
- To add a supporting file to a material that didn't have it checked off 
when you uploaded, just go to modify material and upload the Zip file.

Further Notes:
- I totally should have started with the scripts section. What the hell 
was I thinking?????
- Time to sleep. Don't yell at me too much if you get errors somewhere. 
I'm trying guys.

Thanks,
