So I'm just going to do ridiculously general layouts for each of the ideas I have above. I also decided to throw out idea 1 because it's not original- it'd be copying existing material. So! Today I did some crappy Photoshop floor plans for the ship to ship map. It would require some awesome Kismet to make it work... but…
@GeeDave unfortunately it only takes 2 for a flame war. anyone who wants to argue there tool set at this point is throwing a match into the can of petrol weather that is there intention or not. i don't want any part of that business. been there done that. and i hope no one else does that. perna makes some good points and…
@Bishop313: Loving your Leprechaun! @Megacorpse: Nice progress on the horse. I think your stylization is reading well, even if you feel like you've missed the anatomy. (I know the feeling....) @uohm: Nice henge. Looking forward to seeing it in 3D! I'm not sure why others didn't think of doing this! @Port-Seven: I'm loving…
Hi, the tutorial suggested by Fonfa contains lots of great tips, i focused on 2 things and worked on the color map : 1) fake looking brush strokes : vs. real world shapes .. indeed a 'scratch' on metal is something more than a 1 pixel brush .. I painted the control map for dirt using only round brushes (sometimes with…
Worked on the braided leather, after doing some research I redid my approach and actually braided poly strips together and applied a 360 bend to wrap it around the handle. I also redid the cord around the blade. Instead of twisting a single cylinder like I did the first time, I used 4 cylinders and twisted them together…
there's a reason they set these "difficult" poly limits, 8k being quite a big limit for a boxy van... they want to see that you can use the big budget creatively while still being efficient - those are two staples of good poly modelling. They want to see what elements of the concept you choose to model and why, and how it…
I got some sort of "ERROR: Can't verify blah blah blah.pk4." and some other junk. I figured if I copied the data from the cd's onto my computer I could install the game, but I got a cyclic redundancy error on one .pk4 file (pak10.pk4 in my case) and I could not copy the file whatsoever. I would have returned it immediately…
Don't ever EVER deal with cyberpower, the folks who do ads in PC Gamer. They may have competitive build prices, but they also had me on the line for about 6 months of fire and brimstone for sending me a rig built with incompatable parts. I did everything short of small claims court before they finally replaced the whole…
While I have always loved DICE's products, and the Battlefield series in particular, the PC beta has so far been a bit of a let down. On the positive side, the sound is absolutely amazing. I've never heard sound this immersive in a game before and it's a pure joy to listen to the weapons fire in the distance. On the…
Plenty of people can throw 100 punches per round. That cant be a solution. Against a defensively skilled fighter like floyd you will just tire yourself out. He handles pressure very well. Floyd is not widely known as a big puncher but those who have faced him have noted that he punches a lot harder than you think. With…
