Re: Creating a bland blotchy hand painted surface?
The way I was taught to do it is to create a sampling of several colors and hues to create a palette, and use those colors to create your base.

Re: Northern Ireland: 1983 Project
SBS in Northern Ireland?? Rather not... Would be far more interesting if you´d taken the Detachment (as it was commonly called before being reformed to the special reconaissance regiment SRR not too long ago). also, the HK G3(cant figure out the british designation) was extensively used during ni, especially by the SAS as… -
Re: ninja - nextgen
Hello, I really love this, I am almost 15 years old and working a summer job for my uncle to gain enough money to buy a computer with dual 7950 GTX's; which will be a quad sli computer.

Re: Sci-Fi Environment Scene (UDK)
Decent start, but I'll give you similar feedback I get Hydzior over in his thread - its too obvious its made in Unreal. You're using the same archetypes of a typical Unreal-built environment: Coloured lighting, heavy bloom, and a somewhat noisy set up. I love the shots - the angles and composition are nice, but you're… -
Re: Cover Art Dump
Looking good man, I think its already 10x better than the old one. I would say play with adding some colored bands running horizontally through the rock. Mess with making a few custom brushes using squares rather then circles they can create some nice effects. And then maybe get rid of some of the smaller hairline cracks… -

Re: Lord of the Rings - DVD .vs. HD
The crowd scene benefits the least from the higher resolution. The map, on the other hand...that just pops right off the screen at 1080p. So does the Rivendell landscape shot. All of the scenes with fine details benefit greatly from the bump in resolution. I noticed that hair details are particularly sharp. (Gandalf's… -

Concert of Awesome
Tonight, Roger Waters (formerly of Pink Floyd) appeared at GM Place in Vancouver for what was a fucking kick your dick into your eyeballs concert. Advertised was the album, Dark Side of the Moon, one of Floyd's best, which would prove to be a good night. Got so much more than we paid for. Went with another Polycounter.…
