Re: The Punk Genre and Games.
if you want steampunk done right (imo) you should read "outlaws of the air" by george griffith. In the age where steam was the main propulsion deal they fantasized more about more efficient (but usually totally hypothetical) fuels. OOtA, if i remember correctly, is centred around burning a special powder as fuel. So it's… -
Re: Consoles Are the New Coin-Op
Proivded, of course, that investment is made into the infrastructure and net neutrality remains in force. If either of those two do not happen, you can kiss this idea goodbye. And, of course, the big money that would facilitate infrastructure investment would be in the shutting down of the Berners-Lee model, and granting… -
Re: Hand Painting Obsidian Texture in Photoshop. NEED HELP
Comin' along great dude. I think the weak point thus far is the height map on the blade, it's a bit flat, could use more gradients to get the normal popin. When you think of obsidian you think of something a bit more chiseled, with lots of geometric flat areas here and there with some cool organic ridges mixed it, right… -
Re: Fantasy Digital Environment Art: Wild Skies project [PIC HEAVY]
cool concepts, but I tend to agree with what was said so far. Clocktower The perspective is more than a simple 2d grid perspective, it is a 3d grid with multiple vanishing points as you probably know and even if some of its elements are tilted towards the camera, the relation between them needs to be preserved so tighten… -
Re: Connecticut School Shooting
It's a modular rifle that can be chambered to fire most standard rounds. Here in the UK they are only legal if they are chambered to take .22 rimfire or 9mm chambers - and you have to jump through real hoops to get them. In the case of the Connecticut shooting, the rifle was taking .223 rounds; whether the rifle was… -
Re: Adding snow to textures
Best thing you can do is get some blues in there, especially in the diffuse. The spec should be far more white and you want to have some "pop", get a seperate texture going with an alpha that only allows small dots to show through, this'll be your sparkly layer, make sure the spec power is lower for these this and pump the… -
Re: Ph0n0GRAPH
Coloured spec is fairly straightforward for the most part. If you want an unsaturated highlight that tends towards white, your spec colour should be the opposite colour from the diffuse. That's why people often use a blueish/purple as their spec for flesh tones. Invert a flesh colour in Photoshop, and you'll get a… -
Re: Lair of the Lunar Mastermind (UDK)
Thanks for posting, Cholden. Do you know how i lower the amount of AO its using? I can only find an option to use, or not use it. I tried looking it up, but i'm having trouble figuring that out. I understand why you feel the vegetation is too densely placed. It is supposed to be this way. What is powering that globe is… -
Re: USA Default Problem and Game Industry?
As I said, I *like* semantics. But I'm still not using the word illegal to mean anything except 'against the law'. You said people with power and money can get away with breaking the law, and that's reality. If that's the case, what does the Patriot Act matter? If powerful people want to monitor your communication, they… -
Re: Video card advice for 3D apps
don't forget that power consumption on the top cards can be insane, and require higher power supply. Also keep in mind that 3d apps, mostly do not render viewport stuff in the most efficient way, like game engines can, as topology changes and so on. Also because raw perfomance in those top cards is more towards shading…
