Its a tough one. Changing the forum's color scheme too often might actually drive some people away, thus the desire for optional themes. However if thats not possible, perhaps some kind of middle ground. For example, one month out of the year is Greentooth Month or whatnot. April makes the most sense due to PC's starting…
$80k... think about that. The thing is going to take 3 years. Gnomon/Eat3D DVDs are like ~$80. You can spend say $2k and get a kickass computer with like 10-20 DVDs which would last you for quite a long time. Or pay the yearly subscription to those places (I believe Gnomon is $500) and get basically unlimited information.…
True, t4paN, games like Fallout can make people reflect on the the disturbing facts of life, and how human actions can result in the destruction of all they know and love. Not so sure about having humanity systematically subverted or destroyed in order to allow the planet to achieve its original design. Them green things…
I actually like the idea of a techdemo level demonstrating all kinds of techniques to take apart. Things such as: Lighting and Composition Complex Shaders New techniques like Flow Maps Basically it'd be like the Unreal tech demo. I've delved with UDK for a while now and I really tried to get into Cryengine but I didn't…
although I would love to see some sweet ass DX11 features like your last demo I would think it would be a tad unfair to everyone else who dosnt have acess to things like DX11. Sure not every engine supports all the same features, that is a given but something like hardware tesselation is such a big jump, seems it would be…
Going to have to agree with the above sentiment. Trying to directly mimic CG Hub in name and icon wont really go far. It wasnt as shallow as the name or the look, its also about whose behind it and where the flow is going. As others have said, Artstation has popped up and if I am not mistaken its by the same folk that…
For some reason a pirate with a koi fish tattoo seems like an odd pairing to me for two reasons: Do pirates really care enough to symbolize any uphill/rebirth battles they may have conquered? And would such a 'mainstream' tattoo be fitting for a so-far original design? It'd be like tossing a barbed-wire band tattoo on her…
[ QUOTE ] I wish Andy, Jorm and Kiv would leave SNL. They are so underused and going to waste on that show. I was a TLI fan long long ago, and wish they would get back to their roots. The best digital short they ever did was the Doppleganger one. That was classic TLI. (btw - for those not in the know:…
It looks like a finished illustration to me, albeit slightly over rendered in some non-important areas. My only concern is the mountains on our left have gotten lighter in the last two updates-- composition-wise I'd question that decision. I found it to be more striking and less eyecatching when they were shadowed by the…
I think the banners should stick to personal projects IMO. Anyone can easily see art for games but its the personal work I think that should be showcased and made into a banner. Not to say the work above isnt fantastic, because it is, but I just personally think it would be cooler to showcase personal art projects then…
