Ha, pretty cool looking character! Moose has a point about the textures though. You could definitely knock it down to 256 without a noticeable loss in detail. And for your future models: Your specular map is made to help the high or shiny area's of your model catch more light, and the low, and dull area's less. Its doing…
Favourite boss; This thing from Shadow of the Colossus. It combined all the best parts of the gameplay and it's just a truly gargantuan creature. The eagle one comes a close second, it was a very tense fight (but no Agro :( ) and water in games always makes me edgy. Least favourite; Nihilanth in Half-Life. Might not be the…
I rendered our DomWar2 creature normals out of XNormal mainly because it was just so much more straightforward - didn't need a control cage or anything, just tweak a few numbers for ray distance, and I got a bunch of nice, clean normals very quickly. There were a couple of trouble spots (like where the toes were very close…
Kids these days... Pirating is a real problem, and it bothers me to no end to think about how each year the new generation of gamers are developing this attitude of entitlement towards free software.

Hey all! For a senior portfolio project for my school, I'm working on a large sci-fi train station. I want the style to be more organic: think Giger meets Warframe, and I want to to be in the realm of stylized realism. I've been learning Substance Designer and incorporating it more into my workflow along with zbrush, so…
Loved games in my early years always wanted to make one. Picked up "TheGameMaker" at a young age. Disappointed at how limited it was. Fastforward a few years, went on "The game creators" website and got Fps creator. Saw some of JFletcher's work that he posted on there time to time. Pretty darn inspirational. Started…
