looks cool man, but I agree with eq all your stuff tends to have a very soft melty feel. There are areas of this one that I like- the stretched skin around the nose/mouth area is cool but mixing up the shapes would definately help, get some flatter edges to contrast all the roundness. I think it was per that suggested…
Been hunting around and got some much better prices after a tip from a Supermicro adviser. Apart from the monitor, Scan are ftw. *Had to change the motherboard model because it wasn't compatible with the x16 slot required by the new Radeon video card which was weird because it's actually the latest model that can take more…
Hi everyone, I have another update on the game here and a new trailer! The trailer describes our current development status much more then pictures will so check that out! Our goal is to recreate an MMO style PvP experience that is just as amazing as playing an MMO game but you don't need to grind for months beforehand!…
I wrote up a rant about the first one some time ago (in german: http://mapping-tutorials.de/forum/showthread.php?t=15946&highlight=Zeitgeist), and I had planned to write up all wrong thesis in the movie and to confute every single. But it got so much wrong I just couldn't finish it (+ the all time "Discussing on the…
i'd say the only influential person working at Valve is a man named Robin Walker. Because, back in 1996, that class based teamy thing was a hell of an influence. He deserves a lot more credit for influence than Gabe Newell, and i'm not even counting TFC or TF2.
I like to break it down like this: Programmers make it possible to have legos in the world. Artists build the legos until they are pretty. Designers decide where those legos go. It can mean wildly different things at different companies, and some companies have multiple kinds of designers: Content designers may be…
Eh no, y'know, it doesn't, like, y'know, make it stupid. It makes the game more addictive, it provides something to work towards and look forward to without having to hope for DLC. It is just a bit different. It doesn't have to be exactly like TF2.
UR HALF-LIVES HAS NOTIN ON TEH MIGHTIEST JUGULARNAUGHT THAT IZ HALOZ!! Seriously though the whole Orange box is a big wad of "look at the cool shit we can do". Best advertising for an engine to date is playing the content that comes with the Orange Box. I've been to busy playing TF2 and portal to fire up Ep2. Sounds like…
360 version got 10/10 from oxm, read all 6 whatever pages of the review. sounds fucking sick. not only is it going to be a sick singleplayer game, but theres tons of cheats to unlock, an 'arcade' more which is basically like halo 3's Meta-Game, 16 multiplayer maps with tons of modes and levels and perks and stuff.... damn!…
While I do agree that something drastic (though not necessarily bad) may happen in the near future, I wouldn't expect a shift to purely on-line games. There's still a large group of people who don't appreciate MMO's (including me :poly142:) and there will always be a market for single-player games just like there is a…
