I am pretty sure you can get a student version of 3ds max for free if you go here, http://students.autodesk.com/ and then go to the free software, download, done. Remember you have to be either a student or an instructor.
Coursera free C# for Games just started this week. It's an actual university course you can take for free (or $49 for certificate.) https://www.coursera.org/learn/game-programming It starts very simple but gets difficult rather quick.
Well each channel is grayscale, and what I'm packing into those channels is blend maps so the texture doesn't blend simply with the blurry vertex information. Then blending is like in this free eat3d vid http://eat3d.com/free/vertex_painting
wot I was bummed that it wasnt exactly free roam but it was still interesting, but I felt kinda left out because I didn't know the story from witcher 1 witcher 3 will be free roam like skyrim
Side scroller going away, not as long as i have free time!!! ironbearxl, did you forget about my free game? Its a side scroller, and if someone were to pay me id keep make another.
A bunch free mocap here. Raw and unlooped, but decent quality, and lots of variations. http://mocap.cs.cmu.edu/ More free mocap here. Though it took some time to receive the d/l link IIRC. http://stockmoves.e-motek.com/
Forest update! A lot happier with this lighting and composition wise. This is just one area of the map of course ^^ Still working on polishing the tree foliage shader, want to get it to feel more consistent with my hand-painted stuff. I was originally going to hand-paint cards for the trees but due to time opted for this…
I'm giving away some of the project files for this character for educational purposes, feel free to pick it apart! Check the Marmoset Viewer + breakdowns on my ArtStation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ln08O Get it for free on my Gumroad: https://gum.co/nnmr
Shadron looks like it fits the bill, but it's £20 without a free trial. Kind of a deal breaker there; not going to pay for software if I can't give it a test drive. There has to be a free alternative kicking about, or even just proper tutorials for RenderMonkey.
Played HoN when was free, now i can;t play because their system is so bad for some countries. LoL, it is worth to try this game? Btw i am waiting DOTA 2 do come out, HoN will be free then.
