I don't think the ancient village stereotype is negative in anyway. I've spent some time in the middle east, and part of the charm is how so much of ancient cultures has survived. Until the 50's, Afghanistan was a popular tourist destination because of it's old world charm. That's why europe is a popular place to visit too…
Don't forget to take into account that people that say games are easier now have the experience of playing the old ones... Skyrim sure is easy after I played dark souls, and dark souls isn't an impossible game because I've played and learned how to master and lose excessively in other games. If skyrim and mass effect are…
Finally starting a new large project to do next to my final major project for the weekends! Sadie the Goat/ Sadie Farell, a pirate known for her headbutting. I will combine her story into a goat/demon-captain. I had a lot more to show but then I took a blue to the screen when I tried to save :| . It's basically adding all…
Quite frankly I think the biggest advantage to starting young is that no child sits around crying "OH GOD HOW 2 DO DIS? AM I TOO OLD? WILL I EVER BE GOOD? NO ITS IMPOSSIBLE I'M JUST NOT GOOD AT THIS. I SHOULD HAVE STARTED WHEN I WAS 2 YEARS OLD. NO. 1. IT'S THE ONLY WAY." They just draw for fun and they get better over…
@Snakos hey man tnx for input. I think I was using the normal blend node for the first attempt to mix 2 normals together ... but one of the noise normals I put on was too intense an I lost all my baked normal information. So I have decided to throw out the old material and start again. I think I have done a better job this…
Graphics card isnt super important unless you will be gaming. I used an old geforce 6600 up until a few months ago. That being said I wouldnt go for something with intergrated graphics. My tip would be get something second hand that someone spent too much money on. I got a toshiba X205 SLI 5 for less than half retail and…
He saw Jesse Moody call my post a "troll" so he'll hop on the bandwagon too. Ill give you credit, you did a pretty good job of making me look like a caps locked 12 year old with illogical grammar imperfections. Yup, I rant about shooters all the time. What was it.. about one post ago I supported RO2 didnt I? Thank you for…
A lotta folks say they know this city. The streets and the back-alleys, Upper-Eastside and Lower Northwestertown, New Chinatown and the old docks filled with old seamen, that rundown adult entertainment joint down on 69th - someone thought they were bein' real funny with that one. A lotta people'd be right, Dick Hardigan…
Hi Brian! Some performance notes: You could save a ton of texture space by removing motion from the smoke/explosive textures. I understand that the fluid sim has to have the motion in it to billow correctly, but it actually works pretty well to just move the frames down to a common center point in PS and then simply…
It's a damned plane. And every time you say it's not I feel you disrespect those who passed away. I saw the damned pieces of it, and so did several of my coworkers in the Pentagon at that time. I saw more pieces of it in a warehouse later as they were investigating it. It was an air plane for the billionth time. Ask me…
