Thanks for all the replies. Can you guys tell me about tactical map display type games? I've purchased the original dawn of war years ago but never completed it for some reason. Thats the kind of game I'm looking for in a fantasy setting. Just spawning, building troops/soldiers, plopping down buildings - awesome stuff - If…
Recommendations: -Quake2 (The art only improves with tons of custom player models from Polycount, and a good bot addon). - Doom and Doom 2, but only on something like a cel phone so you get the full effect of a good game on crappy tech. - WingCommander2 - Duke Nukem (You of all people will enjoy the one liners. Though art…
Hey! As the title implies i'm having trouble with some topology. I've been modeling a plastic chair as an exercise, so think of it as a high poly static mesh. The problem is, i think i stumbled upon a very annoying and inevitable 6 sided pole. Here is the (Still WIP) model and the pole. Ps. the model is symmetrical I…
Steve: Wow, man. I haven't seen those models in forever - so glad to see you're still getting some use out of them. If any of you guys are interested in rigging up and animating these guys, go nuts: ___________________________________________________________________________ Captain Beefheart Hot of the presses, I made this…
Now off to the edge loop delete to get to my game model...the HP is at 300k not smoothed. In game model how many tri's would you all recommend? 10,000 or 15,000. Please not, this is NOT to Dawn of War specifications/tailored. I am intending this to be more like the upcoming Space Marine game set to release sometime next…

My partner and I are creating tolkeinesque Dwarven workshops. He's doing a forge and I'm doing a jewel crafting space. I'm at a pretty early stage but I'd…
Well DWar is a special case anyways. He might have done it in order to fit inside that arbitrary polygon limit given by the comp, who knows. In real life it would be of no use, but for an online comp its safe to stay on 'target' even if it is technically pointless. It's true that if you take 4 triangles connected to each…
I'll probably get a lot wrong here, but here are my assumptions. Generally a bad idea to build something on what you have little to no cultural awareness of. As fascinating as Africa and South America are, their slower development and histories of exploitation by more developed regions have made it difficult to parse…
I still remember the days when I used to play the first two Wing Commanders, on a 386SX with a 13" screen and an MFM hard drive - it felt a bit like I was in a mroe rugged version of Star Wars, something that could've been real in the future. Then there was Wing Commander 3 where I was able to take a shower while the…
