yeah hollo in the games you are in fog where you can only see a few feet away (some parts) and when your radio starts acting up, you know a monster is near.. so you get all in supsense knowing its there, but you cna't see it.. much better scare tactic than say.. doom3s "BOOOO I"M A MONSTER BEHIND A SECRET WALL!" no the…
I'll agree that it was a total EA & Mountain Dew infomercial, sadly that's the future of television. With the increased cost of television production and tivo scratching away at the market, product integration is a sad future for television. I CANNOT believe that Halo 2 won out over Half-Life 2 in the first person shooter…
[ QUOTE ] i kind of liked it. I saw it on Friday on Imax.... I think I enjoyed the "set-up" part of the movie more than anything else. After the dog died and the woman showed up... I was starting to get impatient and just wanted the movie to end. I didn't understand the choice to use CG zombies over actual actors in…
I wish to have 48 hours in a day! It is really difficult not just to make animations but to describe the work flow, especially in English which is not my mother tongue unfortunately. But now I am almost ready - :) . For my little joke I had to make 5 caricatures: Mr. Barak Obama and 4 well-known beautiful Ukrainian female…
if you want to make something look wet you need to crank the gloss, not the spec. cranking the spec on a dark object, (like your rocks) will create a metalic/chrome look with a high spec and high gloss- so you need to have a dark-ish spec, a dark-ish diff, and a cranked up gloss map. essentially the idea is water will…
Zbrush 3 might benefit as it's built to work with up to 256 cores, not sure how much it would help though. For games, many can't make use of a quad core, from benchmarks I've seen a quad core over a dual core the FPS increase was from about 125(ish) to 140 (ish). You would need a different mobo if you were to upgrade to a…
Ok so the church wasn't around for the Crusades. My bad. I was wrong. I'll admit it. No problems on that. As for everything else. Yeah maybe I'm getting a little carried away by saying "everyone" but seriously it sounds like Sony asked for permission. Got it and now the church is pissed about it. Well the game came out…
My guess it's a main reason why Marmoset once got extremely popular to do game style renders . Not Mental ray or Arnold . Wish Marmoset could provide same style on-line shader node editor Blender does . Plus some code export to show shader programmer or to chatGPT what you want. For some weird reason there's no convenient…

I figured we needed a separate thread for this, since the last one was mostly about the multiplayer. Here's my thought on the single player now that I've played it for about 3 hours. the good: I like the retro gaming fan service. I like the retro skin a lot more than the default one. The swing mechanic is perfect. Moving…
