starting to have a clearer shape of this in my mind. Once i have added and tweaked all the locals i'll upscale the image to work on the rendering/polishing. I also have to add some elements like the tongue and the burning background...
originally it was stored locally. When it went onto the cloud all the stats got reset. Most of the games I haven't played were part of a bundle. Although I still need to get a go of Max Payne 3 and Darksiders.
Usually when this happens, i rename the following folder. C:\Users\[USER NAME]\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2013 - 64bit Then start 3dsmax 2013, it will create another settings folder.All your settings,custom scripts will go.
You might want to check around for any local "U-Brew" style pubs where you go and brew using their equipment and either they bottle it after it ferments or you come back and bottle it. It can be a good intro to brewing.
Added a moss component to the stone and rock materials and painted some in, i'll probably continually refine the moss placement as i work on the scene. I also added some volumetrics to add localized fog to areas of the background and some in the ruins.
It bothers me how the paint chips on the panel arent really localized. You can see peel lines travel over the bumps in the panel, I feel like they wouldnt continue like that since it's over a non flat surface.
One of my friends got it on Xbox One (correction 360). Their internet was down, but they thought they could do local multiplayer, nope, online only. EDIT: The 360 version doesn't have offline co-op, the Xbox One does.
In my experience cubemaps were generated for each staging area (open world) There were realtime reflections in highly localized areas but I do not recall how they were done :/ If my memory serves me they were reflection cards
It's not exactly the same, but you can create those objects, use autogrid for creation, and define it as a creation surface in the graphite ribbon's freeform tab, just move elements using local coordinate space. It's not exactly what you want, but it's close..
Ah yes I heard about Brians technique there over twitter. I did this for the iPhone launch. Just popped into the local phone shop near my office at the time. I'll be ordering a US model though I guess.
