Hello. I'm not sure if it's appropriate to ask here. I saw this amazing concept art by Dylan Cole: http://www.dylancolestudio.com/Matte/personal/pages/TropicalCity.html and really wanted to recreate this scene in Unreal Engine. So to seek permission, I contacted Mr. Cole through the contact details he provided in his…
haahah, I was wondering what the hell that port could be used for. This is cool. Not $199 cool, but still would have my interest as the price drops later. The HP docking stations suck these days.
Hello, I'm creating a scene and I want to get my lighting to look nice before I proceed with the rest, but I can't get it right. I want to have subtle warm lights and some cool shadows. I edited a screenshot of my scene in Photoshop to get the look I want, but I'm unsure how to implement it in real-time. Photoshop edit of…
Hey Polycounters, Lately I've been experimenting with a new style of cel-shaded rendering in ZBrush. My goal is to make pieces that look like flat 2D images, when in reality they're fully 3D models. My first victims are Sokka and Aang from Avatar: TLA (Katara and Toph are next). Comments and critique are very welcome :-)…

Hey guys. My 15 year old, self taught ass has managed to get into another indie game team venture. For the, er, 4th time. Hopefully I'll be able to rock my socks off with modelling in this one. It's a COD WaW mod team who makes pretty sucsesfull maps. I came up with this idea of a heavy machine gun. I'm not really a gun…
The OC in "Geforce 5500FX OC" is over clocked? If so try turning it back to normal. I had CoD running on a Geforce4 4600TI for a VERY long time and had no issues. So you shouldn't have to to OC a 5500FX to get CoD running smooth. You say you updated your video drivers? How about rolling back to one that is older? I would…
Hello everyone, I just had to register here as soon as I found this thread via google, when I was looking for video game art books :) I sure as hell dont want to beat a dead horse (this thread is a bit old) but I love the topic, collect video game art books myself and I feel it's still a relevant topic. I have also…
so, i just started learning UDK! it's really cool but figuring out what everything does is a little daunting at times. anyway, here is something i made in about 4 days. I'm kinda happy with it so I'm gonna try and make a full fledged environment with it. If you know any place that give really good UDK tutorials them please…
