One of my friends just set up a betting pool yesterday and I'm joining in on the fun. In order to have a slight chance at winning I'll need to do some research. Goldman Sachs created a report with analysis and predictions again (http://www.goldmansachs.com/our-thinking/o…omics-2014.html). They predict Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Spain to be in the semi finals and Brazil to win the cup. Anybody have an opinion on Argentina? They have been seen as a serious contender for several times and always ended up getting kicked out before the final. Any signs why it should be different this time? (and don't tell me because they've got Messi )

Squad: I wouldn't bet on Belgium winning the whole thing, but they've got a good team this time. I'm sure they will make it to the knock-out phase and if they play against Germany, it will be everything but an easy match for the Germans.

That was cool but nothing like 'Red Wedding'. Maybe because I saw something spectacular coming. Everybody was like "GAME OF THRONES OMG RIGHT???" throughout the day. I guess I need to go in complete social media lockdown on Mondays from here on forward

We definetely all do errors, and that sucks when a child is born out of them, but well what do you know, life needs to find its way, i'm also an accident. So that's all good Oli, now that you unfortunately have the experience, never allow yourself to let it happens again

Eh? Do you have a kid with your Ex, Oli?

If you can look past the North Korean occupation setting, the open world 4-player online coop and the concept of starting a revolution against a better-equipped force sounds interesting. It will be tough to stand out against The Division though.

What e-freak said is true. Game engines always triangulate.

But it is better if you do it yourself before baking the normal maps, because normally every game engine or 3d app have it's own way of triangulate the mesh.

And you don't want your normals to look different when you import a model to the game engine.

Of course you can keep a clean version of the model, for further iterations.

I take away from this: it's better to triangulate everything (yourself) but not before you add normalmaps?

Looks like an internal pitch. At first I also thought Payday but this is starting to remind me even more of my buddy's project that unfortunately didn't get funded. Maybe they should've pitched it to EA instead of Activision...Then again, the outcome would've probably been the same.

Thanks Psychicken, you're right about the seat looking flat, I think the wood overall could be improved a fair bit. Including the stool its 1084 polys, here's the wireframe

I also made the mistake of mirroring the stool leg closest to the piano, hence it looking darker

Hi. 3D modelling n00b here. I've been toying around with Maya lately, slowly getting the hang of the basic toolset. I see that all your faces have 3 sides. I see many places where you use 2 3-sided faces where I probably would have used one 4-sided face. Is this best-practice for objects in game engines or is this model simply not optimized yet or...?

@Koko: What do you mean by saying "the story is completely futile"? It's been a while that I watched the movie, but I remember it being about temptation, egoism and the way these things put ourselves and our beloved ones in danger.

Just saw that The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition is available on Steam for 3,99 € (for a little longer than 18 more hours at time of posting). You're welcome~~

Don't forget, coffee (caffeine rather) is a drug by itself that causes addiction and withdrawal symptoms... in fact it's much more harmful to the body than some illegal drugs

I fucking love coffee, my newest habbit is drinking it with jack daniels and irish cream sunday mornings, it always helps to start the day with a kick.

What if you start to crave for that kick during the week, too? And during coffee breaks at work? Not really a serious question, I just love the idea of you being buzzed at work every day, sluring your words and falling a sleep in meetings, but nobody wants to fire you, because you create the most amazing art while being drunk

Digging the 'stache.

Oh and the game looks nice, too!

Time to get your Star Trek uniforms out boys!

I've got the music from your video stuck in my head so you at least succeeded in that regard.

lol this is great!

Warner Bros marketing cranking that shit up to 11 yo!

Thanks SDY, I moved it.

wowee!

lol yeah love the video, too!

Gotta agree with Liam on the camera. Judging by the video it looks like you need to back it up. I suppose you made the ghosts (or kryptonite rather ) stop in corners but then go really fast to change things up a little? They appear very fast and extremely hard to evade right now!

I loved the original FarCry, I'm an explorer (speaking in Bartle's types) and am a total sucker for tropical island settings in general. Since I had skipped FarCry 2 the open world aspect was new to me in FarCry 3. Sneaking through the bushes with a crossbow, killing and skinning deer to craft a new weapon holster, exploring and freeing new areas of the island...fucking loved it! The repetitiveness didn't get on my nerves as much as it did with others apparently. So obviously I'm looking forward to FarCry 4. The Himalayan setting is fresh - even though at first I was like "I guess that means barren landscapes and snow?! Doesn't sound like a good base for the typical FarCry cat and mouse gameplay!". I'm expecting to see some video footage at E3...hear me? You better show me something at E3!!!

Quote from Thrik

BTW could you (deceiver) or Dark clarify whether the guy in the pink suit is white or East Asian? Was having a chat about it earlier and I'm pretty sure he's meant to be East Asian/native with dyed hair.

My best guess would be Eastern European or Finnish

P.S. I also lol'ed when I read "Hurk"!
