108 character to recruit , very epic 40+ hours story (even with minimum grinding), your own castle that grows. your decision will influence your ending. a game formula that cant simply be imitated by current gen consoles. Mass effect - for those who think Rpg is all about medieval and magic, thing game will break the myth,…
I agree! That is why I'm learning XSI now (over again, since I used to use V 3.5 back in school,but at the time Maya seemed a better choice) - ICE got me impressed and I wanted to know how to use it and take advantage of its capabilities, as well as of all other neat things that it has, and Maya doesn't have. But with…
I saw it Friday night and haven't stopped thinking about it since, truly magical and fantastical! The few fantasy moments are used sparingly with good reason, they make you if anything appreciate how special they are, keep in mind Ofelia was merely visiting the other world and not living in it. The Creature designs…
I enjoy caramel sauce on my french vanilla ice-cream personally. Chocolate sauce belongs on cakes & in milk. When embued in milk, it does not work its magic in cereal, regardless of variety, contrary to Mr. Holden's above expressed endorsement. I have also discovered Carvel's Rainbow-Chip cake mix ice-cream and found it to…
Thank you all for your support! Rick Stirling: Removed lots of hair on the chin but kept some because it creates a smooth transition between the chin and torso. Made horns and eyes 120% larger. Calabi: Moved eyes closer together. You are right of course that the comments I get is specific to this model, but, now I learned…
JDinges, can you show us a shot of it up close? Like 10' away... I'm willing to bet those who're commenting on the high frequency of the detail might have a change of heart if its seen from a closer perspective. That said, if it does look good then something would have to be done of its look from a distance. I love this,…
i dont know if i can prove you wrong.. but you can work around sorting issues with mulitple draw culls.. i know this is how some companies approach it.. i was just disscussing it last week with a friend.. we were talking about tools.. he was telling me that at his work its built into the export plugins.. they number the…
Most every engine/3d app calculates thier tangents/bitangents differently. What you want is for your NM renderer to be able to read the exact file that you will be using ingame(or atleast the appropriate format) For our in-house engine we wrote a file loader for Xnormal( www.xnormal.net ) an awesomely free and awesomely…
I'm all for curvy fantasy style buildings but then that's a universal style choice not just something that can be selectively used and ignored without it looking off. I agree, if someone chooses to toss those rules out I'm fine with it, as long as its a universal change and semi-explained. But it shows they thought about…
Hey Juan, nice work! I like your storyboards, lots of life and energy in them. I feel your more rendered work lacks some of the clarity that your more looser sketches have, but it shows you've put a lot of time and effort into them! To critique your latest work, for me it's not clear exactly what's going on. Is the guy…
