can't wait. yOu guys have some quite talented people under your belts.

Moving to europe is not a solution. Knowing how to sit down with your children and explain the rights and wrongs in society along with proper morals and ethics is what we should focus on. Due to how America started, Gun Laws will most likely always stay in effect. However the further detriment to family morals continues. What I mean by that is people are getting more lax with their children letting them get away with stuff. Children test the bounds of their parents. Parents should at an early age explain the bounds and rules. Correct parenting in my mind is what solves these types of problems, not more government sanctions.

that also adds the chance of adding faces to the polygons and thus decreasing frame rate. Rather use decals and other low polygon methods to hide the repetition.

creativity is an artist's strongest tool

holeman you're nuts

well its a fine map regardless.

lol people are retarded.

techincaly concept art is supposed to be able to tell you a story, a background to the character, ect to make it "good" concept art reno ~~

however looks like you guys are getting your act together more. Keep it going and youll get talent on your team with hope.

If this so called "jesus' loved her, why did he let this happen to her in the first place? Pull the f'ing plug.

on a humorous note, if she hasn't "eaten" in days and she had some "wine" I bet she got drunk off of that empty stomach.

gun laws or not, focusing on having intelligent families that know how to raise children would prevent this crap from happening.

I like this one much better than the sub one. I'd suggest getting more shadow contrast since you're in the desert. Dunno if this looks anything like beirut from what I've seen in movies. Doesn't look like a total rip off of the dust series so thats a plus. Overall a nice custom map, does it play well?

The hallway (image 6 i think) is pretty nice. Overall its decent but I think it lacks a major ZING that sets it apart. The sub could've been done smoother. Dunno if you used a model or not but since its a centerpiece, highlight it some how.

its too clean and requires detail. I'd like to go ahead and do a bump map but I'm drowning in prop models for my level atm.

Some models I did in my intro to modeling class. Never quite finished the skin on the walker and I have to wait to upload my character and gun renders cause they're version 7 and I only have version 6 on this computer. Sorry!!!

enjoyeee

I was refering to modeling.

On a side note those displacements you have for the terrain are awfuly repetitive. Add some decals or something to break up the surface, and add some vertical depth to the terrain.

your dog looks like the one I used for reference for this painting

techincaly they're something like displacement terrain. Displacement maps use BW images to extrude geometry similar to bump maps.

looks hot. Glad to see some quality work coming out.

guns are available whether we like it or not. Strike the problem with familes and the guns will solve themselves. At least thats my opinion.

I blame bad parenting and the friends who did not speak up when the guy said he was thinking about doing it. If the dad wasn't a complete loser and killed himself he would've been a supportive fatherly figure. If the friends hadn't kept their mouthes shut and warned of this atrocity they would've saved many lives.
