Hey kids, another week down and hopefully it was a good week at that. We had a few birthdays at Polycount this week (I'm sure we have a bunch every week too), a lot of great discussions and most importantly a lot of great art. A summary of what to expect in this weeks re-cap: * Some eye candy Polycount style! * As usual,…

Hi, A couple of weeks ago whilst experimenting with DDO I discovered its png exporter had two major failings.

Most games use African peoples as tribal or…
Blaizer made one sort of valid point though. Go out and make stuff. You, WE are the ones that make games. This is not us complaining about books or chairs or TV or plush toys. This is us complaining about our own products. No, we don't have absolute control, and no we cannot (realistically) force upper management to change…

Going to get some some more of the sky color in the sand and try for some really far out heavy blue flora here and there, we'll play it by ear. Started the first pass on the…
they'll do what they do with everything else... rely on the stupidity of thier user-base. ridiculous how much fuss google maps got, especially when you think about the fact that the software to do it was already in daily use by the company they bought out for over a decade. something that's ticking me off right now about…
