Have you read Eric Zimmerman's Manifesto for the Ludic Century? http://www.kotaku.com.au/2013/09/manifesto-the-21st-century-will-be-defined-by-games/ He is just one of many Game Design/Theory academics that definitely believe that games will expand and explore the concepts you are looking for. Also like most books and…
I still enjoy the Zimmer OST and i'll be listening to both. As said, Vangelis's is just outstanding though. Here's both so you can make your own minds up. The new one (this link keeps getting pulled down I think so not sure how long it'll last.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_FAF_v87Qw And this is the 2002 Esper Edition…
Update: Effect in a day! I will be trying to create a new effect each day for the next few days. Today's effect: Orbital Strike I'll be making targeting textures and various textures for my materials in Photoshop, the few meshes that I'll need in Maya, and putting it all together in UDK. Hoping to have a playblast/screen…

Of course this visual appearance is even stronger due to the lack of a penis, but it isn't solely because of this, I think. Oh and a minor nitpic... if it is…

Perhaps one day vale will also figure out how to alpha blend their cainlink fences so they will stop flickering like a son of a bitch. Somewhat unrelated to this I downloaded the tf2 trailer on xbox live and watched at 720p on 37" hdtv and it looks really…
Most good sculpted hair is just that--sculpted. =) I challenge you to show me a NICE sculpted semi-real looking final product. It's hard to look bad in the sculpt, but when you convert /paint it, it tends to look like hot garbage.=) Also: Your face has lst some detail in the translation? Dont know, but your sculpt had some…
I think the new style looks stunning and much more eye catching. It actually calls out to me, instead of being lost in a sea of games that all look the same.
