Re: isometric camera help.
@johnnySix: oh. the cameras are to capture the animation of the player character in 8 different angles but the actual tile sets for the environment doesn't need to rotate. i wanted to make something like megaman battlenet where the character can move in 8 directions. the thing about moving the camera manually seems to… -
Re: Star Trek: Online (my first title)
I'm actually quite into randomized missions, since I have a big love for randomly generated content, roguelikes, and such, and I only remember anarchy online having such a system, and I found it to be quite fun, like doing a torchlight dungeon. newtonian physics like in B5 and battlestar galactica never had its place in… -
Re: Not a good year to be NASA...
Science fiction is what killed public interest in the space program, in my opinion. It seems like the general consensus is that space is too far, too expensive, and too empty - especially when compared with the star trek / star wars / battlestar / etc etc universes. Apart from pure scientific discovery - which is awesome,… -

Re: What console are you buying and for what game?
The PS3 leaves me cold at the minute. I love my 360 - Ghost Recon, Battlefield, Lego Star Wars, Project Gotam - all excellent games. Dead Rising is actaully a steaming turd after a while.

Re: what to work on as an enviromental artist
What Ryno said.. Another good thing, major plus, would be to show them that you've worked within a game engine and used its lvl/env. editor. Possibly load your environment in the engine and show it off that way rather than submiting screen renders. Biggest thing is to show them what they want to see. If its a studio… -
Re: Price of next-gen games influence your choice?

Re: Buying a new t.v
[ QUOTE ] If you're going to do gaming I don't recommend LCD as much as the others. Even with a good refresh rate it still is harder to play on than a good CRT, DLP, or Plasma. CRTs, however, a CRT has overscan and geometry issues that aren't worth dealing with though. Go DLP or a good LCD. [/ QUOTE ] i wouldn't knock lcd… -
Re: Let's do the Monster Mash
You can have a flare that's usually scaled to zero and becomes visible during the second frame of the firing animation (rapid fire weapons will loop only the first two frames of the firing animation). And I think I've seen Battlemechs with similarily large autocannons (only one or two though) mounted on top so that's…
