System Shock 2 ( "I can seee you" *horror*) 5. The Witcher (Playing not the own char, good decision) 6. TES Morrowind ( a real Fantasy World better then… -
Re: BSP, and games
I should jump in to make clarifications because it seems people may be confused. BSP isn't what those brush tools are, it's a partitioning algorithm used to compartmentalise objects in the world. It is however true that the brush system is very tightly coupled to the spatial partitioning system since the BSP generation… -
Re: workflow problems
sounds great in theory EQ, but rarely are my clients even aware of that process. I suppose though If I want to get back in to game work, i could try that approach, but even on a personal level I like to update my 'brush strokes' regularly so need to have a fairly flexible system anyway. I seem to have a hit a brick wall… -
Re: multi-core usage
There are better ways to do this. 1. Go to your task manager, right click your app and set priority to "low". This will give other apps higher priority, but it won't strip half the performance away from max when all you're doing is reading your email. 2. Alternatively, go to the task manager, and use the set affinity… -
Re: EA Purchasing Bioware/Pandemic...
If you look at the bigger picture then this move and a couple of other acquisitions down the line sets EA up nicely to launch their own system. This may sound like crazy talk but I think well see EA doing there own thing five years from now, either they go at it alone or partner up with a hardware manufacture. Love em or… -

With many times the inability to play games from older systems. Are PCs more expensive? Yes. Is there more of a learning curve? Yes. On… -
Re: Reference Photo Organization
I've been looking for something decent for years and everything I've tried is crap. A good system in my opinion requires a good tagging system, fast database querying, and fast thumbnail loading. I've yet to find anything that meets this criteria. Most load thumbnails quickly, very few have decent tagging and fewer still… -
Re: environment uber shader request?
Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but there is one pretty good reason to use an image for your blending, and that is: Distant terrain, terrain the player is not going to get close to, generally is optimized quite a bit, so you'll end up with very large tris and your resolution for blending becomes too small. If… -
Re: Quake 4 and F.E.A.R. Tomorrow!
i think what is generic about FEAR is the visual design.. the look of the game is very generic.. guys in swat gear with guns you can go see at a swap meet.. there is an element of fantasy to quake as well as interesting character designs that is lacking in FEAR.. but i was able to look past "guys in gear with guns" long… -
Re: PARPG - old school isometric 2d RPG looking for 3d artist
Heya and welcome to yet another weekly PARPG news update! There is a whole bunch of visual material to cover in this update as the graphics department has been quite hardworking. Furthermore the combat system proposal has been overhauled and large parts of the Python code have been refactored. We've played around with…
