Re: rock tutorials
here's a picture i did a while back while working on the blizzard fanart contest, maybe it'll help. i just created a tileable normalmap out of this and then retopologized my mesh according to the normalmal, so i had tileable rocks i could use for the environment. -
Re: Is World of Warcraft good?
Fortunately, Blizzard is helping you save time by making sure the servers are offline for 'emergency maintainence' two or three times a week. Four months of retail and they still can't get the game to stay up - nothing like getting nailed with an Emergency Shutdown while in the middle of an instance... -
Re: Working in the industry AND professional game reporter?
Ok, but what if you were reviewing a competitor's game? For example, do you think it would be fine if someone from Blizzard were to write a review of Warhammer Online. I still say it's a conflict of interest to work for a dev and write reviews, regardless of what you are reviewing. -
Re: New Life: Handpainted Environment
that lava texture kicks ass, it's so rare to see someone make hand painted stuff that doesn't scream blizzard. you can just try distributing cracks more evenly. for example here's how i did it: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CziigHrduvs/UVDsD5trMDI/AAAAAAAADGI/yiWNECpfB3U/s1300/HP_Vulcanic1.jpg -
Re: Borderlands and Codehunters- Too Close?

You know if you wanted to move you would do a lot better . You could even apply to work at Blizzard as an IT guy there even looking . Maybe expand your horizons outside of… -

Re: RIP Grin
This is a really horrible case of douchebaggery and I would gladly kick everyone responsible for this in the nuts. The old square didn't print that much money, but damn I liked their games and themselves better. Sorry to all the grin guys. But then again, I guess at least something good has come out of this - Bram's at… -
Please do something about the bot-spam

PLEASE do SOMETHING about this - it's getting really frustrating for us users. If you don't have enough moderators then please consider…
