I agree with X-factor, the art was really good!. and some of the stories were unusual, my favorite environment is definately the Carousel! Thats really a work of art!, would look great on your demo reel!

Nightfire was better than "world is not enough" . It had me playing it for a few days

a sequel to the most hyped game "Daikatana"

some very good point, ginsengavenger thx for the suggestions. Yeah, texturing isn't my strongest point. I wanted the dragon to look like the Hydra's in God of War, because those have some awesome texturing!

I'll add some more detail, once the texture is finished I don't plan on animating him, just a piece in a environement.

ReNo: trying not to do cartoony , was going for a fire dragon, who would live in a volcano.

hehe thx

texturing the wing, thought id get some feedback on it. Texturing is my an area i need to get better at.

Current project . Model was completed in about a week and 2 days. Trying to rebuild my portfolio, got average reviews at GDC this year, I have too little organic models. Working on texture at the moment.

cool thx guys. I started with 1024 actually, but since im early in texturing, i could always stop and goto 512 someone was like "No wait!" ahahaha

I going to apply, but at the moment, i feel that my art isn't strong enough. But, i'll apply anyways, be just like the NY lottery, "Hey you never know"

for an art test i did last year, I started with the base texture at 1024x1024 but the final had to be 256x256, and I got alot of pixels. I think i should of started at 512, so there was less of a push of data per pixel.

Thought id ask, before I start texturing again :roll:

I'm working on a model for my reel, and I wanted to know is the norm for ps2 and xbox for textures is it 512x512, or can they goto 1024x1024? And what do you think the xbox2 and ps3 will be able to handle texture size?

When texturing for 512x512 is it better to goto 1024x1024 and then scale down?

Thx

ps. when did mapcore return, because I could never connect to it for the longest time.

looks really cool. Your space background is awesome, inspired me to do something like that on my level

I looked on facing worlds and a few other space maps, and yeah they do have a huge zone portal in the middle of the map, I guess thats a no-no for future reference. Oh, and all my imported textures are dds, the file size difference is huge

I had a question for u Hourences

Your level contains alot of static meshes. Kinda like my space level, it will also feature alot. Whats the best way to optimize you level when you have so many meshes? So that the players don't loose any fps. Portals? Does the engine prefer meshes over brushes? Just wanted to get some advice on this, based on your experience making levels for the game

the title says "art of war", so I would think of broken walls, walls with big holes, dead bodies on the ground, generally an level filled with destruction. With the current progress, everything is clean. If you level is going to be about "war" then you need to dirty it up abit

I think its an awesome game , played the demo alot. Then I bought it . I just wish there were tutorials for making maps, because the editor is confusing as hell!

looks awesome! the Farcry engine blew me away and it seemed the editor is made for artists

Skjalg: thanks . lighting is still WIP . But also remeber that there are other locations next to it, so the lighting will get brighter.

Sven_E: I loved Hitchhikers guide . Not sure on the new movie, hope they don't screw up the classic

walkways redux

testing the bot pathing and weapon placement, then I'll make a video showing the gameplay.

actually, i was playtesting it some more with a friend before I went to bed, and we agreed that the platforms were boring and didn't fit the style I had created. So, i'll be making different ones tonight. Your comments are dead on

small update, been working on the platforms surrounding the asteroid. After building it, noticed that the platforms were a little big, but are able to fit 2 characters.

The ships were created by Epic for Assault, eventually I will add my own to fit the style. They are just to show where the placement will be. Also, I need to add some lights around the rocket. Another update tomorow

I really like the look of the first image . but with only 2 screenshots, I want to see more please
