Re: Whatisicarus.com
Should i feel bad for not being excited about this? So what, the next bioshock will be on land? or ice? ... space maybe? probably.. biosystemshock the art style is kinda neat i suppose... except the goddamn overused heart behind glasss. let me guess, we gotta shoot it? -
Re: UE3 Materials: Is this kind of Translucent Material Possible?
Yes, that's the solution. It's simply explained here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=140607 Then use the same texture (or material function) of tiles rock on two objects. Mask the common texture it out (for example with vertex color as a lerp input) in one of them, except for the edges (the place of… -
Re: Colditz - World War II Thread
Just a few updates, everything heavy work in progress... more is done to show, but now yet. As always, I try to maintain all details except the things that can be done with nDo or dDo/Substance. Maschinengewehr 13 ( MG13) (first Wehrmacht machine gun) Maschinengewehr 15 with Zusatzger -

Razer blade might tick all the boxes except price and weight. that said if your looking for portable powerhouse i don't know if it can be beat. it is very expensive however but you can at least look at it for a baseline of the kind of things that other pc manufacturers might provide www.razerzone.com -

Re: 45 Days of Zbrush

Re: making a livable wage as an indie dev
It sounds to me that working for someone else in the industry is a raw deal artistically except for a few exemplar instances. I think I'd rather work with a bunch of talented people that share my vision and work together to make it happen. Kinda like a Co-op game dev studio. -
Re: GuildWars 2 Environment Process
yes, that's correct except the normal map is usually a 1024 per rock formation. These rocks are generally sculpted in Z-brush and the decimated down to a few thousand tris. If you use Udk, the example Foliage map has a giant rock prop that has a similar material set up. -
Re: head-barbarion
I think it looks neat, would look nice with some cell shading. There isn't much to crit really, except that you have some wasted polys on the side of the head, mainly in the jaw area. You also have a five sided poly above the ear...tsk tsk -
Re: Building with cross sections
This sounds great Rick. I'm interested. It sounds like it might be similar to Scott Ruggels' tutorial, except using extrude instead of patches. I'm curious to see how you weld your sections together, since you'll have different edge counts where pieces meet.
