i just recently ordered a DS.. man those things are super hard to find at walmart right now(FYI using my walmart credit card and gift card to get it so dont go saying Babbages and Gamestop and all that ). i've seen 8 PS3 60gig systems and still havent seen a single DS. had to get it online and even then they were sold out…
He might have windmills in the middle of the jungle but it seems he might be going for more of a fantasy type place. Correct me if I'm wrong. I have seen plenty of weird stuff in games that don't make any sense so windmills in the jungle to me are fine. Not everything has to be life like and realistic. I like how the…
And really, if your big awesome reason why all games will look better on the ps3 is 1080p.... Why is all the media for every game released 720p? Explain that one to me sunshine. Take special note of the mgs4 shots, lovely blury textures there with your 256 megs of video ram. Just goes to show no matter what resolution you…
Jox: er... StarDust? Beautiful, wonderful story... god awful trailer, but a brilliant movie with a refreshing take on the 'classic fantasy story' filled with odd humour. I think in one stroke, Gaiman has had far better luck with his work being adapted to the big screen than poor old Moore who's simply seen his work…
[ QUOTE ] If they are retarded, Bush and Cheney are brain dead ... sorry, did I just state the obvious? [/ QUOTE ] Um... have you been paying attention to politics lately? I mean, I'm not saying your commentary of Bush and Cheney is far off -- I think it's spot on, actually -- but the DNC needs to disown Lieberman. The man…
Well, to start with the obvious you need to adjust the colour for the different sections/materials (unless this is supposed to be stone, or part of a statue). The blade looks good, but then the hilt, grip and pommel all being the same colour gets kind of boring for a fantasy looking weapon like this. I'm sure it would only…
More updates: I've changed the AO contrast to bring down the sharp shadows more, and also bumped up the bloom a bit (want to get a really epic/fantasy feel, this works quite well) only 3 more meshes to fully texture now. I've also added some flowing water to the bases of the outer waterfalls. Now, theres a few issues that…
Ah yes I did cheat on the grip a bit :p Mostly because it will barely/not be visible in game. But I'll revisit that area, it'll look better in my portfolio too even though it won't be visible in the game itself. @n88tr: You have some good points and I completely forgot about the magazine release switch. I'll remove the…
the problem is that a lot of people don't bother to research or think about how things are constructed in the real world. This is something we often hear from our clients - everyone really wants artists, from concepters to modelers, to think how items are constructed in the real world. While I think some reference can be…
Track side objects like buildings, grandstands, garages... should be separate objects. Collision surfaces like walls should also be separated from driving surfaces. My experience is only in building real racetracks, so if you are planning some fantasy mountain course or something then you can probably split things up and…
