I can't believe you named the map after that advert.

Make the light_spot's Constant really high, mike. I'm talking at least 100000. Really gives the cast light a neat, intense sharpness.

That greyscale Baptist church shot is stunning!

I wish it were true.

Off topic, but why do people say "could care less" when they mean "couldn't care less"? The prior isn't saying anything at all.

I always wondered that too. Seems to be an American phrase, and certainly a confusing one.

It was a half-hearted joke, guy! At no point was I being serious in my 'pseudo-D3-hate'.

Anyway, back on topic: I like the visual design of that beast, but in-game it wasn't all that thrilling to fight. Same attacks at the Manticore really, much like the blue-fireball things are similar to the imps. Would have been great if its only weak point was the teeth monitor, and as you hit it the teeth fall out. That would be special.

You know wuh!

No I don't, hence the 'Wuh?'

It's simple: you say Postie's creature is rubbish, then fear the backlash and create a thread licking its arse! Sick little man...

Bleh.

D3, you are so weak! At least stand by your woeful opinions instead of limping back to popularity like a crippled puppy.

:wink:

Quote from mikezilla

totally pre rendered and totally lame.marketing something that doesn't exist???

Amen. 'Product not yet rated'? More like not yet created. Christ, this is exactly what to expect of EA.

Quote from Mazy

at least its an improvement over the last bux

Exactly. Can't say I'm too bothered about the aesthetics, as long as it isn't as big and heavy as the first Xbox.

I don't really get why Mike goes through all thoose steps. You can do tiling with just 1-2 steps. Thoose tricks he did might be smart, I dunno, but I can't see any purpose with them.

To get a better texture as the end result? Tiling is one thing, but there's always something else to tweak.

The consensus is that it is indeed real. I'll definitely be getting one, if only for Project Gotham Racing 3.

Well holy shit, Mike has a heart after all!

Really appreciate it, guy.

I just had a try using the tuts on your photo, wasnt too bad for a near complete novice like me. (not good enough to post though )

I'll be giving it a try tomorrow (once I get this damn essay out the way ).

Quote from von*ferret

check out the thread in the 2d WIP forum for more tutorials and such, also contribue in any way you can!

Will do.

Great tuts., thank you amigos.

Now, I don't consider myself a texture artist, far from it - level design is my game - but I have a good digital camera and an even better eye. So, I feel taking source photos and converting them to game textures is a viable enterprise for me.

Problem is, all the good stuff needs to be made tileable, and I have no idea how to do this. Any of you texture impresarios got any tips, tutorials or resources to help me out? I really want to strive towards custom content rather than chestnut HL2 stuff, and this is the first step.

Below is an example of the kind of pictures I've taken that need tiling:
