I'm reviving a dead project, mainly because QuakeSRC.org and some others are interested in it, and days are getting closer to q3a's source release. It's basically a free GPL'd from-scratch recreation of Quake III Arena, currently in preperation stages (The source isn't out yet, and i'm using q3fusion for the engine at the…
Hey, I am not very good at all at putting computers together, I am totally new to custom rigs, so I plan on getting a new rig by the summer, and I do not make a lot of money so I am aiming for building a rig for around $500-800 (hopefully thats possible) Here is what I would use this rig for: - Modeling - Sculpting - UDK -…
Hello. Finally our first pack is avalible on the Assetstore. IG Dungeon vol1 It is a small Dungeon kit: IG Dungeon vol1 is a set of environment assets for creating a good looking dungeon. All parts are modular, you can combine them any way you want. There are a few level presets in the package. Small demo scene is…
@SouthpawSid: Thanks for the feedback! I wanted to spend more polys on it but I was making it for a platformer (where 809 might still be a little overkill :P) I wouldn't mind going back in and might a higher poly version though. A friend of mine tells me it looks a bit Borderlands-ish in style. It is a bit my fault, I was…
I'm thinking you could save quite a lot of polies by making the rectangular chains with pure cubes (well - not cubes, but you get what I mean) 12 tris instead of 20 triangles times ~100 links would save you about 800 polies, over 10% of your total budget. It'd affect the silhouette, but only just a teensy. I agree with…
Below is the latest progress of the Winchester M97 I've been working on, I made progress on the heat shield, Bayonet Mount, and Stock. I started the breechbolt. I added basic materials to help me visualize it, but when working on it I change it to the default Before that is a quick model I made of a Ka-bar using a Ka-Bar…
Yeah, that's how I took it. Though looking at this study (briefly, I must admit) I would be surprised to see anything like this in a while. Studies of this scale and length tend to be difficult to dismiss. The 50-years long British Doctors Study is widely accepted as the evidence for a link between smoking, lung cancer and…
Ged, a 250$ Video card upgrade is hardly a phenomenal leap. And most certanly not going too far. You must be young, this happens every 2 years or so. And your class really is a moot point. If you are in school I doubt you have a normal 9-5 job, but an 800$ computer is pretty cheap for real life expense. Also developing art…
Figures do appear to be dominated by AAA titles, yes, and so far as I can tell in my research these are 'income' figures, will need to double check that. Publishers are very cagey about revenue so I've only got units for some: Rainbow 6 - 20 million; Splinter Cell - 16 m. For others some numbers do exist; Modern Warfare…
