    I highly recommend gnomon workshop dvds, they have been invaluable to me.

    I think it's down to earth and would appeal to people, I'm kind of fed up with all the office talk and perfectly correct English, I prefer reading something as somebody might say it, the hows and whys is about as clear as it gets for me

    Second that =)

    Saw a thread like this and I think it rocks, we need one of those here in mapcore. Post only completed models though. I could fill an entire forum with unfinished and sucky props

    Here's mine: A popcorn popper that's still in use in Insurgency. It makes no sense since I made this from my head instead of looking for proper references. The texture is also very ugly and annoying. I'm ashamed I made such a sucky model for such a great mod back then :S

    What's this about?

    Another analysis on the conflict:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7550780.stm

    Of course saying this localized conflict could lead to a new World War is a bit overreacting but it still is a very serious situation, considering it could also spread to another separatist region within Georgia called Abkhazia. Another potential threat to peace is that the hate generated by this conflict could fuel paramilitary and terrorist groups and situations like the russian school invasion could happen again.

    it seems to run photoshop just fine, but complains about the memory. But I'm going to get extra ram to fix that . And if photoshop is too expensive i can probably still use opencanvas or so =).

    Nice shit. The problem with the last one is that the foreground has way too much highlight. Foreground should (almost) always be darker than the background.

    Looks good. The fog is not matching the skybox though. Edit the skybox in photoshop to make it suitable:

    - Pick your map's fog color (RGB)

    - In photoshop open all 4 side views of the skybox

    - Choose gradient fill. One of the ends should be transparent and the other one should be your fog color.

    - Use gradient fill and add the fog to your skybox. A lot of testing needs to be done to get the height right though. In my experience the fog should cover about 70% of the side views in order to blend in nicely with the environment.
