Hello, I just wanted to spread the word about this great game called Babo Violent 2. First of all, BV2 is about 2 years old, about a year ago it was at it's peak in terms of activity, but recently it seems like we are getting no more new players which is probably the lack of advertisement (the game was originally made as a…
Jeremy-S: I took a quick look at your website and I think you could finish out a project with this, I would hesitate to say that if you were trying to rebuild texas in Unreal :) I did do a couple of initial test with DX shaders in max 2012, I had to revert to Direct 3d for the 3 point shader, and when using the 3point the…
I still get the odd email asking my to make models/textures for people - for mods or for personal use (people still play quake) I simply reply stating that a model will cost £500 untextured, £750 textured, and texturing an existing model will be £300. 99% of the time I get an incredulous reply along the lines of "WTF!!!111…
I'm a big halo fan and completed 99 weeks straight of weekly challenges in reach (I moved country and missed hitting 2 years, 104 weeks :( ) From what I've been seeing from 343 in regards to making it more competitive and having smaller maps, things seem to be looking up again for halo! (the BR!!!) However I still see a…
What kind of regular DVD holds 15gb? The highest capacity DVD for the 360 is a dual layer DVD which holds roughly 9gb. Anyways, 9gb is plenty for 99% of the games you'll see on PS3/Wii/360. So many people are mislead about their statements concerning storage capacity because they base all their figures around the previous…

PredatorGSR: OK, you're right, that greyscale texture you've got from the XNormal plugins really doesn't look all that useful. I dunno if there's some settings you haven't got right (maybe invert green channel and see if it comes out better?) but here's the results I'd expect generated from CrazyBump: Hope you don't mind…
In the year 2000 my geeky friend from the graphics lab in college was always touting the supposed superiority of Macs. (We were working with Maya pre-Windows on SGI 02s) We had some PC video editing suites with Premiere, and my friend decided to show us all how the Mac was so much faster at rendering the same Premiere…
There are very very few degree programs worth their weight, 99% of them are taught by people not in the industry with old information you can readily get elsewhere on the net for free or via sites like gnomon, digitaltutors, eat3d, etc... none of the schools out there are worth $70k to $100k+ for a degree in games. It's…
My goal was to create a cool looking shader (main judgment criteria is "Aesthetics: Does it look cool?"). You get to a point in a no-man's land writing shaders where you have to do something more complex than the generic shaders out there that cover 99% of all surfaces with minor variations, but aren't mathematical enough…
