depends what i'm creating names for, if i'm going for humans, i usually try for something that sounds authentic for the particular nationality i'm using. hence my thread on the old board for 'foriegn' names. for aliens, i usually make something up for races i'm creating. if it's for something like my trek fan-fic, i…
I'm making an intro for my game where your ships wrecks and you're stranded in an ocean. The problem is I'm using an engine that doesn't have very good water (Source) so I was thinking of making an animated model for the water. I don't know how to make a water effect in 3Ds Max, much less animating the waves. I'd really…
What i have seen / heared so far is more of FC 3 with a new bad guy, more epic tech and coop. Mind you that's not a bad thing since i personally really enjoyed FC3 despite it beeing way too easy. But the story looks really good and what i can grasp from the GiantBomb let's play, the Animations for Interactions are top…
Hey guys! Afklamer and I are working together to recreate a scene from Aristocats in Unreal with a stylized PBR look. I haven't touched Unreal for a few years, so I'm really excited to get reacquainted with it and learn what's new ^^. Afklamer is going to try and tackle all the textures in Substance, and I'll try to learn…
Looking good, I like the new tracks and the addition of the mine cart is helping fill in some of the detail gaps, nice work. The lighting is starting to fall apart and I think that might be because I steered you in the wrong direction by suggesting using FG and MR. The method I suggested for the crystals was a slightly…

A small step forward in fighting against things like SOPA/ACTA. Consider signing it if you're in the US. A Petition to Support the Saving American Democracy Amendment Sen. Bernie Sanders has proposed a constitutional amendment that would overturn the Supreme Court decision in a case called Citizens United vs. FEC. The…
Looks much better cool and yea stuff takes long but worth it if you can manage the time sink. I like this and i do not normally like this type of stuff. I do not know what FBC is maybe some story or something to help the viewer get the image you are trying to project to us might go a long way? Is it like m.i.b. and he…
@Fic: No idea honestly since I'm just balling the idea, I guess I could say the UDK engine for example? @Equil: Interesting, I'm taking a look for "dual paraboloid reflection maps" but it seems like most documents from GameDev are dead. http://graphicsrunner.blogspot.ca/search/label/Dual-Paraboloid Do I need to setup my…
