"Sell out" in this case means intentionally gouging for money instead of going for meaningful improvements. Take for example, Guitar Hero. The first game was very revolutionary. But then they kept producing sequel after sequel until they ran the franchise to the ground. Or for DLC, look at the Dead or Alive series. The…
Alright here are some updates. I took crazy's advice and started building this in UDK with some base textures. So far I have a sand/dirt/rock texture. Taking a bit longer to completely hand paint textures than I thought... how the hell did people used to do this lol. It took my a while to learn a lot of udk like vertex…

I need a good picture or model to replace it. If you help at all I will add your name at the end. I try to use blender Many Thanks Oli Day 1:…

This is a follow up to my previous forum post (link: http://polycount.com/discussion/198979/star-wars-background-characters-project#latest). I already modeled out Dr. Evazan, and am in the process of making Willrow Hood, but I want your opinion on who I should make next for this project? UPDATE: Here are their pictures. I…
