Huzzah.

Can I get mine done to Ginger Lord whilst you're at it. Sent numerous PM's to mike/mojo when I first joined and never heard a thing back.

Testing out an A2 render for my exhibition of my animation. Quick shadows hence dodgy straight lines in places.

Cool as funk.

Found a pic from someones phone of me being lowered down from an 18m indoor wall. Damn hard with that overhang for the last 12m. When I got back to the ground I must've been about 6m away from the base of the wall.

Sure it was a shit game, wasnt half fun though on occasions.

Maybe I'm a bit sick and twisted though. I think half the people that say its crap have never played it and have based their opinion off other people and screenshots.

Not the worlds best game, far from the worst and amusing at times.

Thats the fun

Wheres the fun in falling 5ft onto a mat when you can fall 25ft on a bit of metal jammed in a 5mm crack

Edit: New Photo

Proof that it doesnt always rain in England.

I do mainly trad routes. The british grading system imo is perfect, with the technical and adjectival grade helps give a true estimate of the route before you set off.

Without you can come to a route graded 6a and go "Is this a route that every single move is 6a?" or "Is this route easy and long with the crux move being a 6a?". Now the British system gives you that guidance, a similar climb could be a E1 6a, or a HVS 6a or even a E4 6a. The E4 6a you would guess would be solid 6a climbing with little or precarious protection, hence the high E number. The E1 6a could be a short pumpy route, or a long one with a few 6a moves. The HVS could be piss easy climbing, like 4a, for most of it, but the crux move could be the 6a on poor protection, hence the lowever adjectival grade, but same technical as the other.

Presume you use V of f grades for bouldering? I suck at bouldering.

This is why I never release my source files for things, just puts an extra step in to put people off if they have to decompile it.

Except nexus.

Evolv Pontas

Not heard of that brand before, any good? Main ones people use here are FiveTen, Red Chili, Boreal and La Sportiva.

FiveTen Anasazi Verde's

Sticky as shit on a blanket. Shame they cost nearly £70

I shall have to nab the photos some people took yesterday whilst we climbing. Didn't take my camera whilst I was going up a 50m HVS route. Not liking 1 finger pockets and 2 finger crimps on stuff that high.

I like the arms but dislike the implementation of them. Perhaps they could have been added by pirates using scraps of whatever they could find (barrels, ships, metal stuff etc) to make it more haphazard and less weirdly formed rock. Something like the Orks would make in Warhammer, would also be more interesting I think.

Looks like he did a similar style degree to what I'm just finishing off and looks like his was a waste of time. Most of ours wasnt 3D work in XSI yet my portfolio of stuff is wildly different (possibly better...)

After three years doing this degree and learning XSI from scratch I think I could actually make his portfolio in a day, two max.

Need some Zorb balls for karts.....

Karts bodies for Zero Gear (i.e. no wheels)

Lies.

If it was UE3 is would be bumpmapped to hell!

Watched it earlier, thoroughly enjoyed it. Downey is the man. And I loved the cartoon.

Same. Went in with 0% expecatation, came out happy and content.
