Neglected posting here for a while but here is some of the progress on the BNI project and I'll also dump some wip stuff on a concept vehicle. I seem to have lost a lot of confidence in pushing past block-out stages lately, mostly from lack of real understanding of 'what to do next', just need more practice really, I have…
Snacuum I hear you, Sonic isn't what he once was, and began to make less and less since as time progressed. I mean, what the hell was he doing in a place like station square?! This "cool" appeal actually made him joke in the long run, he's only recently recovered from this. I guess that having the fan base grow more would…
why not build in chunks and render those chunks individual , for example if your having alot of floaters that are sub divided you can break those apart, and take big chunks that have micro details and bake those off as indivdual pieces. the idea is when building high poly is to think while building it how you can break it…
tubboy: [edit] looked it up. ah.. classic demonstration of the fact that the second shortest route between two points is a well-aimed trajectory. [/edit] Since you're into that sort of thing, check this out for Cutting Edge. Hi Scott .. I was referring to the quality of headology and character interaction. On reflection of…
Yea like a sumo wrestler, which would work as to how round the design is, i added the retracted legs part cause with robots you can pretty much do whatever you want - do not have to necessarily follow human movements. So have fun with it and if he is too busy you have some direction to try and see if you like the idea, i…
Ok, update on this, been working on and off with it for a while. Still got one more gun/arm to create which is the one with fingers, but the other two are done. I also have both of these guns transforming (at least into a "arm pod") for now, although not yet working in UDK (had it working, but new computer etc etc think i…
That's how my daughter is and that's what I saw in the vid before I read that reply, maybe because I understood her when she said "people don't like swords" as in: "people don't like me because I sworded that guy". "I was being a brat and yelling at that guy, because he wouldn't stop telling me what to do (and my parents…
In the not immediate future I could see a text to speech AI that could dynamically change its lines as being very plausible, or rather given loose parameters of what this average NPC might say and the AI being able to ad-lib around those. But I see that as something pretty far out given the amount of work that needs to be…
As far as the games go, the first 3 entries and 4 and 5 have their own niches. The older games pose how limitations are actually good things in gameplay because they are the rules (wheras more and more games now are suffering from feature shock and not focussing on a solid core gameplay mechanic) and they give context and…
I think a big problem is that story and gameplay are seen as two separate things. Final Fantasy may have complex character relations, but at the end of the day, the gameplay is still about whacking random monsters and could be carried out by totally different characters altogether. Look at some of the classics of gaming.…
