Ok. Without any consideration towards vertex lighting, 4934 tris: I think I will go this way, until someone don't tell me to go back to the previous tessellated version. Talking about that, I tessellated the floors that much because I was thinking to vertex lighting and the shadows that props could cast on them. It's…
Hi there! Yeah I found these - However I know I would really prefer a traditional text+image format as opposed to clickthrough videos. Also, it would be great to see a screenshot of a typical game character 'rendered' in realtime pico, to give an idea of what can be achieved. Somehow like what Brice did…
from wiki so its super reliable "The amounts of helium-3 needed as a replacement for conventional fuels should not be underestimated. The total amount of energy produced in the 21H + 32He reaction is 18.4 MeV, which corresponds to some 493 megawatt-hours (4.93x108 W·h) per three grams (one mole) of ³He. Even if that total…
I guess that's the technique you used KDR: http://www.blender3d.com/cms/Normal_Maps.491.0.html Maybe a bit complicated to set up but the results seem nice and crisp.

I would love to play it at cinematic res but the actual in game screens they show are a lot lower =/ Maybe it's because its still in Alpha/Beta? If they can put together an in game trailer that is that awesome they'll have me. But I'm a little worried about bait and switch... Walk through footage from CES:…
some interesting insight on GameDev.net http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=493821 some things I was not yet aware of - over 6,000 visitors from 40 countries - 40% international guests, the others germans (I don't count as a german) - two professionals to every one student ratio
I have no problems spending $60 on a game that I know is going to be worth it. Usually I either rent it on Gamefly, read or watch a review, see what others are saying about it on the internet before I put down any money. Unless I know its amazing and I'm going to enjoy it will I buy something instantly. Some N64 games were…
