Hi All As a longtime lurker of the Polycount boards I just gotta share this with you all! (Seeing as it took about 3 weeks of my spare time to create!!) It was for our annual works conference. Fancy Dress Night is always a riot!! . Anyways--its a one off piece I made just for this event. Made from latex and foam using a…
Neverminding the greevar circus act, I've got a question about IP that I'm unsure of. OpenArena has a Free open-source from-scratch map called 'wrackdm17'. It has the general layout design of q3dm17. Some GNU GPL fans argue that it's perfectly legal because it's an original work created from scratch (which it is), though…
The optimizations you seem to think that are revolutionary, are mostly reduced asset complexity. The models are 1800 poly max, doom3 was around 3.5k in some cases. The multiplayer was cut/paste from q3 litterally, hence the rocket speed being slower, they did'nt account for the different scale size. All i'm saying is that…
The creatures in Hobbit, even Gollum, are far more different from the actors than the avatars in Avatar. In my - far more limited - experience you can't really go far with a direct reproduction of the actor, it'll look very bad on a creature with different facial features and proportions. Then again, we can't know for…
It's very interesting stuff to think about. For instance, TF2 could be classified as "cartoon violence" : the characters ar stylized and cartoony, and the violence is goofy. Yet it's sometimes easy to forget that in TF2 heads and gibs roll all over the place, blood flies everywhere and the characters scream in agony and…
Glad to see someone has one. I would like to replace my ugly and loud windows HTPC(built from old odds and ends) at some point with something small, quiet, and with a UI designed for TV. Some qs: 1. Can you use hulu free with it? I don't want to pay for Huluplus 2. I have a netflix account already, do I need to pay…
when i work its like i am solving a million problems,i am always thinking of what i am working on, concentrating. i really have to think about form and what muscles are doing under the skin and what direction the light is coming from and in turn what surfaces the light is bouncing off and what color that light would be now…
Here're some of the mechs I've made over the years. Not all of 'em went into Mercs. Obviously some are HPs, some are the Ingame models textured. So I think I'm fairly competent at them but after a while it get's boring. I made 23 mechs for Mercs that are in the game, plus a load more that I didn't submit or that somebody…
Because Naughty Dog is owned by Sony. Plus most games on console don't come out for PC for various reasons like piracy, controls and so forth. If you only have a PC now is a great time to pick up a PS3 with the holiday season upon us. The best gaming machine and blu ray player all rolled into one which a huge library of…
Three flaws. 1) People will have to be careful what devices they put where. I can see someone coming back from a "trip" throwing their camera phone down on their desk and out spills a wild night on the companies dime... opps you're fired! 2) Wear and "terror". Kids, they are dangerous to every form of electronics known to…
