Hey guys, I've been working on this a bit over the last few weeks. It was for my senior capstone project but since the summer semester is ridiculously shorter than an actual semester I had to try and get out something relatively basic. There are quite a few things I know I want to work on that I came across when I was…
Wow. Here we are, announcing the Brawl Contest WINNERS. 1st Place! The very top of the top! I'm pretty excited right now. For us, doing our first 'contest' on our own was a big deal and, after writing these announcements for the past week, I can finally feel confident that it was a success. How do I know it was a success?…
Background Information I've been programming as long as I can remember (I know I started before I was 10) and I've always wanted to program a mmorpg. I've had some free time last couple weeks and decided I might actually give it a shot and so I bought a couple books and read them (if your curious about what books, I'll…
Still other questions need to be answered first. 1. What time period was this made? Medieval times? WW2, Modern Day, Future? 2. What is it made out of? Wood, Concrete, Metal... 3.

Welp, i think I'm more or less done with this scene. It's not perfect, but I gotta let it go. I learned a sh*tton on the way to getting to this point, though. Started with a small redneck fishing hole in a swamp and ended up with a nomadic outland scene bordering on an MMO scale. I was planning on polishing damn near…
How to combine 32-bit displace maps + Not Enough Memory OVERRIDE Displace Map Generation - 4K 32-bit EXR with highest settings - from one apparently too large subtool = ~22 million polys gives the error Not Enough Memory with Multi Map Exporter, despite my PC having a lot more than 4GB RAM. (I don't want to retopo into…
Anandtech has a nice benchmark tool that makes comparing drive speeds for several different usage scenarios. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/SSD/65 Testing the Samsung 830 256 gb against the smaller 128 gb version is enough to show the signifigant performance the additional nand gives you with 256gb over 128gb. ( in most…
Sorry for the delay dudes, okay so part 2!! (maybe more parts than just 2 as well jesus christ! ) So firstly Ill throw down some sensational reference material while I remember to share it - I strongly suggest picking these books up and bookmarking these sites if you really want to get into studying hair and the female…
The December update to the UDK has brought us Epic's latest engine updates as always, but this time it's including support for iOS and the entire code and content for their Epic Citadel game and an additional castle map for it. The entire update focuses on the mobile support as you might imagine, but there is more updates…
I wanted to make a current/next gen version of Sanctuary from Borderlands 2. I have been at it for about 1.5 months now and need some feedback before I get any further into it. Any critique would be greatly appreciated. This is quite ambitious for someone who doesn't know what they're doing, but I don't have any real time…
