Steam games tend to be more expensive too, than online shops anyway. Most online shops I've seen sell Diablo for about £32-£37, it is £45 from Blizzard direct. So not quite 50%, more like %40ish. It's still the most expensive version of the standard game that I've seen. Then there's amazon, who seem to be the only people…
I'm a modo user, and while it does currently lack some game-art things like editing mesh normals (which I haven't really looked into myself), exporting can be quite flexible with scripts (PipelineIO by Ariel Chai - even lets you set hard edges by UV borders!). Some polycounters bake inside modo with great results, although…
Awesome stuff in here. I'm on vacation until Sunday and will try and get all new banners up over the course of Monday. What do you guys think of Hydziors? http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69263 the goal is a nice balance between chars, environments, etc.
Ive got a pair of 6970's and they work fine in every app Ive tried, xnormal supports openCL as well so AMD cards work fine. AMD has gotten a TON better at driver support, just remember to update. note: if you try linux, be prepared for slightly more issues with amd.

Polycount: 6920 tris. 4096x4096 diffuse, specular, normal map textures. Sculpted in Mudbox. In game the boss is 3,3 meters up the the top of his hunched…
Awesome work TerraBite. I can't really offer any crits, but I suggest having a squiz at Mark Newmans stuff (if you have not already). It's freaking awesome and always a good place to look for some direction. http://marknewman.deviantart.com/art/E-V-Female-bust-1-69461328?q=gallery%3Amarknewman%2F8971238&qo=102
Hello, Awesome works you have here guys ! Very good to see. :) Finally I found sometime to do it, awesome concept by Mark Henriksen (mavhn). It take one month everyday in my freetime, was very funny to do it. It is not exactly like the concept I just add some props. So, I hope you like it! Mark Henriksen concept:…
i had a previous discussion similar to this.. http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=69741 where I work it's total crap. :D my laptop at home is faster then my work PC.. :D I often have to close 3dsmax to open photoshop and/or when trying to test things in our game. I have a Intel Core Duo 2.66GHz 2 gig of ram Nvidia…
Dude, you are insane! Why on earth did you extrude the bolts out of the mesh? It is much faster, and will give much better and consistent results to just create a single bolt, and duplicate it around wherever you want bolts. Keep bolts and small details like that as a separate mesh. It will also help a lot for when you…
