Re: What games influenced you the most when choosing a career in game development?
That's an interesting way to see it. Originally I was drawn more to film because a good movie you can watch in 30 - 40 years from now, but try getting a good game to run on old hardware... makes me wonder if my old 486 PC still works -
Re: Google Chrome - Google's Browser
it's definitely the fastest browser i've used on my pentium II 233mhz, faster than so-called "fast" Opera and even Seamonkey. 486 and Pentium testing pending. now it needs a java vm! -
Re: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Daggerfall? I think I remember the demo shipping on the same PCGamer CD-insert that the Warcraft2: Tides of Darkness demo was on or something like that. ...that and being grumpy that it was too intense for my little 486/win3.1/dos machine. -
Re: Information About Polycount & New Member Introductions
Hi, I'm just getting back into 3D modeling and animation after about 20 years hiatus. I learned 3D Studio back in 1993 on a 486-based PC with 16MB of RAM. I am working toward freelancing under the name "Amalgamated Polygons." Hope things are still hopping here! - Nick -

I have no idea how I managed to preserve that folder across - ohdamn, ten workstations and laptops, starting with a IBM PS/1 486/25. A thoroughly unimpressive hovercraft that was all but indistinguishable from a wooden… -
Re: Classic games of the past
[ QUOTE ] All very great games, although I doubt he'll stomach playing Diablo1 at the shitty rez of 320x240 [/ QUOTE ] Diablo was a 640x480 game, I remember how much it "pageflipped" on my brother's 486 dx2 66mhz like 3fps or so. -
Re: Neutral Grey Issue
You need to realize that when you are working in a photo suite like Photoshop, with RGB values in the range [0, 255], you are actually working with sRGB color values, which are in gamma space. In linear space, neutral grey would be 0.5, and to convert that to gamma space you take 0.5^(1 / 2.2) = ~0.73 * 255 = 186. So 186… -

Re: Help? Looking to grow/improve as an artist.
I noticed you're showing only old-school style work (no highpoly). Just fyi the kind of studios that go for that kind of work these days require that you're very good at hand painted textures. Check out Allods Online for an idea of the quality bar set these days for those kinds of pieces:…
