  • Check out my new song (now available on iTunes!)

    Very nice luka!! It's great to see how focused and how serious you are about this. I remember a few years ago when you purchased your guitar and was still learning everything. Very inspiring stuff.

    As for the album art, I'm not sure if it's final or not, but I'd work on it a bit more. The name of your band is sort of hidden in the bottom... if I didn't know you I wouldn't be sure if the band is called long story short or what mattered the most. Also get rid of the gradients! Plain solid colors ftw.

    A great cover can really sell your stuff, so watch out for that!

    Keep it up man, best of luck!

  • Going London this weekend!

    lol I'd never crash on dux's place, not a good idea I think (he's kinda freaky, listens to linkin park and shit)

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 - finally a worthy upgrade?

    Quote from Thrik

    I used Adobe software on Macs for like three years and in all honesty I noticed no performance difference at all between that and my similarly specced PC. In fact, everything I used on a Mac was pretty much the same both in speed and function. It's like comparing an apple to an orange: you eat them differently but they're both sweet and quite good for you.However it's so much cheaper to build a PC that can demolish a similarly priced Mac it's pretty much a no-brainer to go with Windows, especially with GPUs becoming increasingly significant for stuff like Photoshop.

    Alright ignore my post then dudes

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 - finally a worthy upgrade?

    Quote from Sentura

    Heh people say Photoshop runs a lot better on Mac than on Windows... still the brush stokes in that video seem pretty slow to me. I wonder how slow this will be on windows.

    i would disregard that as rumors honestly. i don't think they actually made photoshop more memory friendly on mac, just because it's a mac.

    Adobe creates their software primarily for Mac and then port to Windows afaik.

    very cool stuff! I think they made it a bit too complex than what's really necessary, realistic brush simulation is a bit too much imo, but I guess that's the easiest way to wow people .

  • Man ‘From The Future’ Arrested At the LHC

    Quote

    Eloi Cole, an oddly dressed young man was arrested yesteday at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, made bizarre claim that he was from the future. Cole claimed that he had travelled back in time to prevent the LHC from destroying the world. The LHC successfully collided particles at record force earlier this week, a milestone Mr Cole was attempting to disrupt it by stopping supplies of Mountain Dew to the experiment’s vending machines. He also claimed responsibility for the infamous baguette sabotage in November last year. Mr Cole was seized by Swiss police after CERN security guards spotted him rooting around in trash bins. He explained that he was looking for fuel for his ‘time machine power unit’, a device that resembled a kitchen blender. Who knows maybe NASA should check out the secret powers of Mountain Dew.

    hoo man, I thought we had hit bottom with extinction...

    That has nothing to do with Resident Evil and looks horrible...but might be fun to watch in 3d though.

  • [HP] ~ 3D Sketchbook Thread

    Quote from arhurt

    Yeah, I did that but I had to rush it so some of the areas were left intact. it's the downside of using lot's of flotaters. The normal maps comes out clean, but one must do lot's of clean up on the AO map.

    Could you elaborate on that?

    The trick is to separate concave floaters and base geometry in different IDs, render out one AO map for each ID, and then combine both in photoshop. Much easier than fixing this stuff by hand. The same technique can be used to fix convex floaters. Just render one AO map with everything (floaters included) and another one with floaters only. Hope that makes sense.

  • WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

    My current project... still a work in progress.[Blocked Image: http://www.williamtylerbuser.com/images/big/gow2_2.jpg]

    Nice architecture and composition but man, lose the bloom and post effect filters. I'll be brutally honest here: they are making the level look pretty crappy. You could have a much prettier scene with better lighting and no crappy filters. Really, you got a killer scene underneath all those filters, just get rid them asap!!

    The tricky part of using the unreal 3 engine is actually making your game NOT look like an unreal 3 game. Only a few succeed imo (Mirrors Edge comes to mind).
