Re: WarDevil: the most hotly anticipated Xbox2 title?
the visuals look like a high quality but generic wankfest, to be honest. the cg assets are impeccable, and that footage was remarkably well produced... but the design is not making me want to write home. true, i am at home now, but that's beside the point i guess the standards for good visual design are so high that the… -
Re: anatomy dictionary
I dont know how to explain this but. When you start modeling something you have the front ref image, side ref image and possible top ref image. So far I found one legit tutorial that teaches the basic structure sketch that makes it easier to draw the front and the side of the face only. But that was just it. In the next… -
Re: Passes in max like in Softimage
Max has no render layers system. Only render elements. You could try emulating them with scene states but i've heard nothing but bad things about scene states. The A&D passes are specific to the Arch and design materials. so you control the AO with each materials own settings. TBH i would just use A&D, its a great… -
Re: Stylizing your art; getting rid of the greeble
Ha sorry if I was unclear (late night posting!!) Yeah Mark what I meant is that, once one reaches that tricky state when it's a bit unclear if a piece has enough details or not, simply hiding the troublesome area with the fingers on the screen tricks the brain into thinking that the details are not here, while still seing… -
Re: Looking for Kismet assistance for a level idea! Thanks
You don't need Kismet assistance, you will need assistance rewriting the whole engine. Not possible. You can only do this in all kinds of hacky and workaround kind of ways, and then it won't be very userfriendly/stable probably. For example you could invert gravity (which is not the same as orientation), so your head… -
Re: Why realistic graphics matters to games
In response to @Elithenia I am not stating that a realistically rendered game is a good game. Again I will state that I am not talking about fun, fun is not mentioned once in my post as it is not essential to having a good experience. For the example I have given it is that Inside is a game about eliciting an emotional… -

[ QUOTE ] !!(warning, this site is not Work safe)!! http://www.frot.co.nz/wheels/coca-cola.htm [/ QUOTE ] I didn't read anything on that site, because I'm not in the mood to read right now, but I saw this and am just wondering what the hell Coca-Cola had to do with Kent state ??? [edit] Okay, I think I've figured it out:… -
Re: i made another tutorial
Thanks for the tutorial. It has been a great help, especially since I am just now beginning to learn texturing, and the theory page was also a great supplement to the video. I do have a question however. In the theory text you state its best to extrapolate natural noise from materials instead of generating it artificially… -
Re: Claffy D's Deepest of Grindlifts
I understand your problems with it and the points you bring up would be very much valid, if my main goal was to make a realistic, function weapon. As clearly stated, multiple times, the goal was to create a non-traditional design, focusing on good, readable details near to the player camera. I think the current design does… -
Re: You know its cold when....
There only needs to be a plan B if you think CO2 is harmful. I don't think it is. As for mercury and everything else, local state governments make sure that stuff isn't leaked into the water anyway. btw I agree entirely with you on bringing the troops home around the world. Big waste to continue having troops sit around in…
