Thanks everyone

Quote from Steppenwolf

Looks awesome Minos! A few small things you could improve for your portfolio shots tho:In the first pic:

- have some sort of futuristic skyline in the background to add more depth

- reduce the brightness outside, right now it looks as if all the inside light sources arn't really necessary since the sun is still shining outside

- use a different texture for each of the ads

- the white font signs look super bright yet they don't seem to emmit any light to the surrounding.

Nice points! I'll definitely improve the ads.

Some people on polycount requested hi res pics, here they are:

having so much fun with madworld, everyone should play it =)

Quote from Henrik Alfredsson

The Jante Law is both good and bad, in my opinion. You could say that the older generation (like my grandparents), act according to it more often than the younger ones do, but it's still there. The younger generation are more individualistic than the one previously, but are generally still rather humble about their successes (I'd like to think).In the group of friends I consider to be my main posse, there are both rather poor (like me, unemployed ) and proper rich. The difference might be that they have an apartment downtown, or take the boat out sometimes. But that doesn't bother me in the least, that's their life and I have mine. We are still very good friends and they both look and speak the same way I do so you couldnt spot the rich kids from the poor at a glance. Maybe I live in the sweet-spot, but its a way of life I like. Of course, there are those who really pimp their self out to show their wealth, but I reckon the "gap" is narrower than in for example USA (has much to do with the political system as well, we're almost commies compared to you )

The kind of music is more important for a kid these days than the money you make or the success you have in life...

The bad thing about the Jante law is that building a successful company could be frown upon by certain people, and I think that is very sad. Sweden need new businesses to function and we got the knowledge to do some rather amazing things, just get to it already!

hehe if the whole world was like that life would be much easier

That rules man

I felt like that when mass effect ended =) The first half of the game is great but the second half (virmire - ilos - citadel) are mind blowing!

Very disappointing indeed. The 2d entries are nothing special, just the regular fantasy stuff one can find in CGTalk or something.

Congrats robert~~

A chinese western? lol

One of the best mapcore threads ever!

Watched this the other day, the story was nothing special but it had some cool environments! And Sean Connery is fucking badass!

Quote from Mazy

OMIGOSH! Launch day, I'm scared!

gratzzz good luck!!

Played that counterstrike gungame with peris last night, it was quite fun =) Downloading it to play @ ubi.

Quote from Tron

It's a minor detail, but that vent texture up the top right corner bugs me, the vent passes through the roof apparently.

Good call, I'll fix that.

@Wesley: I really need to model some doors and signs but I got a little carried away with the lighting I've made countless versions of this level with different color schemes in the past 2 weeks and this is the one I'm happier with. I think I'll warm it up a little just like it was before though. As for the bent light: I'll fix that!

Quote from Defrag

Started playing TF2 again with some friends.Good: They've added shitloads of content.

Bad: It's now really bewildering. There's so many items and class loadouts + crafting that it took me a few weeks to know what everything was... Considering TF2 used to be very pick up and play friendly, I find this a bit odd. Valve know what they're doing as usual, though.

I love the new items. They allow for very different playstyles and combinations. Example: I always hated the sniper until i mastered the huntsman! It's one of my favourite classes now.

Nice ideas guys, height variation is one thing i should definitely improve!

ignoring HP's post

Quote from Jetsetlemming

I saw plenty of atmosphere there, but then I also saw a Jules Verne flying city and someone saved from falling by a magic cloud of roses and an animated golem beating up a man. It was a shock (heh) to see the Bioshock series lean so hard towards fantasy after Bioshock 1 was all alt-history sci-fi.

The flying roses thingy is not magic, it's plasmids!!

Quote from insta

The Saboteur (good stuff, can never kill enough nazis)

Yes! This game never interested much but then I saw a friend playing and was quite impressed. EA has done a horrible job marketing this game!
