Re: What would an European exit mean for the UK games industry?
@Ged You're most welcome! Yea, we always have options if everything goes really pear shaped. :) @Biomag Thanks for the kind words :) Yea, that's a great point actually. Much of the problem is one of perception and that people see large amounts of money getting sent abroad without realising what it gets spent on. They… -
Re: Making it Cool VS making it Real
Sound, graphics, and gameplay are so interwoven that a game without cool graphics just isn't that much fun to play. There are a select few games that i think would still be fun if you were to replace everything with simple cubes, games like tf2, left 4 dead, starcraft. The gameplay is so strong that they don't need visuals… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Sylver
I sort of liked the ship... I would start with vehicles in your case. Your next step is to show you can model and texture things in a realistic fashion. Check these tutorials out. Like the clock you made for example, get some reference for a grand father clock and make as realistic as possible with a small texture, 256 x… -
Re: The state of the games industry
The games industry is like many other entertainment industries, there's a "mainstream" and then there's games pushing the bounds and changing conventions. When there's a hit, others try to capitalize off that. Like with WW2 shooters, like with the original Matrix, like with Britney Spears. Do clones mean things are getting… -
Re: Basic help for a n00b?
3dsmax has some great tutorials included in the help files (Main Menu > Help). Also The Area has some good content but you have to register and log in. Outside of that I would ignore 99% of whats on youtube, stick to sites like http://www.3dtotal.com/ Good luck on the simple passage way, even the visually simple ones can… -
Re: Paul Wright - Face Painter
First thing first...noone can truly define art or artists. I happen to find art in the most simplistic things, and consider people artists who may not even consider themselves artists. But, with that hippy crap aside... I'm not sure if this has been meantioned yet or not. But for those of you saying "this is not art, he is… -
Re: Meta-Video-Gaming and you
http://www.3dvisor.com/ I've been in some military simulation machines, an no matter how horrible the graphics were, the physical experience made them incredibly intense and fun. If you've noticed, most companies have gotten away from the old full imersion arcade experience. remember afterburner and it's moving cockpit… -
Re: phillip.bailey
Thanks guys. ::OrganizedChaos:: You caught me being lazy! I'll take another look at that shadow outline around the eagle. As for the stretching... suppose I could add a cut or two. ::whats_true:: You make a good point. Damn it! No turning back now but this will be something to remember. ::raul:: Yeah... just used defaults.… -
Re: Lost: Season 2.... O M G!
Yeah, the show makes me wish I had a TiVo unit... I really should get one since my wife really has wanted one (She's not a Lost fan though). I do like to browse the other forums around the net also. I tend to like http://www.4815162342.com. I have my own thoughts on how things are going, but I just keep them to myself most… -
Re: Half Life 2 - What was the big deal?
There are a lot of old games I still love. Super Mario 3 River City Ransom AKI's early 2000s WCW and WWE titles, before THQ/Yukes murdered the genre. Pac Man Quake 1 On my n64 will never get old. etc... (Don't want to list all day...) But some games really don't get far when you remove the rose tinted glasses! Half life 2…
