A couple nights ago I had a HL2 related dream. I had finished the game a few days earlier, and I hadn't played it since, so I don't know where the dream came from. Anyway, so here's the dream: I was Gordon Freeman (of course), and I'm pretty sure the dream took place shortly after the end of HL2 (maybe a few days or a…
Last week I've mentioned about this special SubD modeling technique and promised to write a brief tutorial, so here it is. In a nutshell: Create a low-polygon model and set all the edges that you need to be sharp and crisp to be at 1.0 crease value. To be in greater control of the surface you can also assign weights to the…
Toasting tits as promised. I finished doing the first blockout pass and finally decided on the overall layout. The overall theme and the backstory for this environment is "Yadda, yadda, Roman empire had never fallen, they are still kicking around and have fancy high tech offices". I'm thinking of turning it into a…
I rigged up an octopus similar to this about a year ago, it was for a 3dsmax rendered project in max but it can be modified in a way to work real time, it just depends on how you set up the final resulting skeleton. I'll dig through my files and see if I can get anything more specific, but here is what I remember doing.…

to give more of a casual vibe to…
I realize a lot people will disagree but D3 is really just not doing it for me. I loved Diablo 1 and enjoyed Diablo 2 but this for me is just missing something. I might as well mention I was one of those people who wailed and whined about the art style when the game was announced, so for some of you it might be best to…
I can bullet point the things I've learned as a student and a pro so far. Hopefully- this might help a bit for some folks. - In relating to what Hazardous said about fear, the only thing you have to fear is your self because it is the only person in the world that could stop you from doing anything great and no one else.…
I am working on a narrative about Taliyah and Ekko's first meeting within Zaun. EDIT: Alright, I've got the first draft of the story finished! Right now it's a bit over 1000 words, so while editing it I've got to trim it down a bit. There's quite a bit of flavor text I may unfortunately have to cut. :'( In any case, tell…
RECAP of contest story: David Darello shields his eyes from the blinding light. A warm feeling engulfs him. He lowers his arm and as he gradually opens his eyes he is suddenly taken aback by the view. In front of him is a majestic city, unlike anything he’s ever seen before. As the initial shock wears off, David is…
Divine Antares (Team members: only me :) ) This is the main dwelling of the king of Antares star system. But king can be a misleading term, as in Antarian society there is no such thing as absolute political authority. More proper term would be highest spiritual and cultural advisor or guru if you want. Such a person is…
