Also she used to look like a boy when she was young and shes gangly and athletic so this isnt your typical smooth faced pretty teenage girl, this girls got grit :D Ive…
Thanks everyone. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable day! Earlier in the week, one of my friends asked me if I thought we'd see any rain soon. We live in south Texas and have been in a drought for quite some time this year. I told him that February 28th is our only hope. He asked why, and I told him how it always rains on…
ive done a bit of DS and handheld development in my time and its completely possible and very fast to render the scenes like i painted there using vertex colours alone, you would need to add a few cuts but nothing the scene couldnt cope with maybe 20 extra tris in the room and a few more in the church but still you can get…
I am waiting for Gears of War to hit the shelves before I think about buying the system. As of right now none of the new games are true next get as the system is being billed. Call of Duty2 and king kong look practically the same on the ps2 and xbox. Call of Duty 2 as well as Gun can be bought for PC at 20 dollars less…
the way parents view disciplining their children nowadays simply baffles me... they had an interview with them first thing this morning on the Today Show that was different from this one... they said the punishment aside from no video games is that he is grounded for only 4 days... this wasn't a "mistake", this was an…
Never refrain from helping someone out. ;D We talked a lot on #model_design about that. Feel free to give feedback, just try to keep it on a more general level as to an overall improvement. For example, instead of giving a paintover and 20 different images of an arm to point out the problems in one piece's arm, use…
Most power plants are still oil burning, but the energy is produced much more efficiently than individual car engines. In the long run it might be cost effective since you wouldn't be using the combustion engine unless you were on a long trip, saving a ton of wear and tear on the car. Other than the suspension parts this…

after 2 nights of playing it I can say I'm enjoying it but not blown away. the lighintg in most areas looks pretty pimp and the textures are a lot better than all the online pics and vids lead you to believe. the voice acing like ebagg said is a bit took hokey "Zis is vat you vant?" but meh whatever. nice work duders, post…
has something to do how the realtime rendering works. max draws each object seperatly - so if you have like a gazillion objects it has to draw a gazillion times... if you combine these to a few objects like 20 or so - it only has to draw 20times, which is way faster. so max can easily push decent amounts of polygons but…
