Top 5 Firefox Addons.

Linkification.

This addon is great, basically what it does is finds any links on the page and converts them into clickable links! Completely cuts out copy&paste! Makes everything so simple.

AutoPager.

This is another great addon, if you are looking through Google images this addon would automatically load up the next page onto the bottom of the one your currently browsing so you don't have to keep switching, it also has settings for loads of websites!

Full Fullscreen.

This little addon actually gives you fullscreen when you press F11, It gets rid of everything except the browsing windows and the tabs. Makes things look a lot nicer. Also goes well with Stylish.

Stylish.

This addon customises the web in a way I have never seen before, certainly a good idea! This lets users load styles for different web pages, for example when on you tube you can have all the ads removed and it will load the pages with HQ or HD videos in bigger but not fullscreen. You can also make pages look a lot better and more compact and ad free.

No Script

This addon blocks all scripts from being run in the current page, so any malicious Java or cross site XSS cannot be run and exploit any loopholes or security problems your computer may have. Also this is the best ad blocker I have ever had as it stops the ads from loading.

There are many many more addons avaliable here!

3D Max Animation.

Naming every object that is going to be animated or used again once modelled is very important, This is especially important for bones as you will have a list of all bones shown and if you labelled them right the next process of skinning them will be easy but if not it will not. The stretch tool is also very important as you can increase and decrease the size of objects; this is very useful when trying to create realistic 3D Models or Animations. As you could have a model soldier but have his head very small, only a small problem as the stretch tool can easily fix that. Skeletons are also very important when animating, As I mentioned above with the process of naming the objects and IK giving a model a skeleton will help you to no end during animation as it makes the process so much easier, And a model that has good quality rigging will create good quality animations. When playing a game the physics are absolutely crucial you don’t want to be able to jump 20ft in a World War 2 Shooter game just as you don’t want to be hindered by badly coded physics in a Sci-Fi game. Real World physics are very hard to re-create, but not impossible many games recently have come close, The Cry Engine 2 implements some very realistic physics into games such as crisis and the Source engine 2 was also very good when it first came out.
