Re: Stromberg's Gameart book

Re: So...what do you want to be?
To be honest, I'm not sure what I want to end up doing. I thoroughly enjoy and understand programming and art, and now I'm looking into psychology because I have a hard-on for memory research (inspired by the early 80's-90's thing with the so-called 'survivor syndrome' and repressed memory therapy cases). I'm… -
Re: Sketchbook: Moonshank
Interesting work so far!

Re: Wow, pretty amazing what the Crytek engine can do..
I played with the engine recently here are my thoughts(please forgive me if I amde any mistakes)> I think Cryengine`s main strength lies in the realistic lighting of huge open ended environements. It closely mimicks the physical world and its controls(there is a few) can be accessed through the Time of Day window… -

Re: Choosing a camera for texture hunting
Here are some examples, My few year old 8mp compact p&s(Canon SD1100), now sure you can buy a better P&S than this, but all p&s cameras generally have the same weaknesses when compared to a DSLR. VS my Sony A560 with 35mm 1.8 lens. First: Canon at 400 ISO: We can see the jpeg artifacts here, and smudging for noise…
