Vanilla means like 'plain' or 'ordinary', like 'vanilla sex' is normal sex rather than 'kinky sex' with whips and shit. So by 'vanilla hl' he means... half-life.
It's questionable using CZ stuff, well it's wrong. But I don't think anyone will care, they will probably get away with it, since they're not selling it.
I too need a good uvmapping tutorial for Maya. Google turned up a pile of shit for me so far 
I kinda like the style of unwrapping like Wings3D has, where you just mark a lot of 'cuts' on the 3d model then hit unwrap, and it does it automatically. Then you can adjust the uv, scale and sew stuff together if you wish.
Is that noob-ish? It always made most sense to me. I hate having to keep selecting small parts and choosing between planar and cylindrical etc. etc, seems so low-tech.
Is there something similar to that style in Maya?
Interesting reading.
why would they remove you from the game? 
(sorry 
)
If the 'something' was a triangle I might be in with a fighting chance. 
Seriously though, I miss these contests, they were good for me to ghost when I was bored. One day I'll hopefully get time to join in.
Yay a peaceful thread. I might pick his up when it comes out. I haven't played an rts since Red Alert. I need some more gaming diversity, I've been playing multiplayer fps for the past 8 years.
Quote from KoKo5oVaRIf i remember well, Bethesda was victim of a polemic based on the fact that it is offending that you can see the horses buttholes in Oblivion.
Ahah, that's hilarious. 
Mmm very nice, I'll leave the crits to the mean kids/people who know better.
How do you remip textures btw? I remember back in the day Wally used to have a remip button (who am I kidding, I used Wally a week ago) but it never seemed to do anything. I tried it on a model that mipped badly and it seemed to have no effect.
Btw I just googled and got nothing helpful.
Lovely model, thanks!
Wow, nice one! Thanks!
Looks pretty nice, did you make the textures btw? They're pretty.
The plant pots look kind of tiny in comparison to the 'grand' feel of everything else. Also are you still working on the lighting? Those spots under the paintings with no apparent source are temporary I'm guessing?
Hmm that NeoDownloader sounds interesting, *Googles.
well if you like to use the dicky term 'goldsource' for half-life 1, then there are kinda 2... :roll:
:wink:
Hmm so I'm thinking of starting to learn zbrush or mudbox in a month or so. Maybe by the end of this thread you guys will have argued it out and can tell me which to go for?
I think you have to be an rts fan to be excited. I am not so I .. am not.
Some of the art stuff is nice though. The engine looks pretty funky too.
mm Erratic's is nice an tidy.
Rick you are so frickin English 
Here, because I'm in a helpful mood/bored/avoiding work, I fixed the window some more:

Heh, nice. Team effort. Btw why does the frame seem tons thicker on the right side?
It seems like its messing with my eyes. Because of the way you have cropped/edited it on the right side you have a 2-layered frame, an outer frame and an inset inner bit around the glass, but looking at the left side you just have a single frame.
You could make it more consistent round the edge like this (but less messy - I was in a hurry to get back to work!)

Hah, it would actually be a good thing for all the addicts who never see daylight...
You could get bonus points for meeting with other players in real life (i.e. your phones get close enough together) to make the game more sociable and less of a sad disease.
or maybe you get bonus points just for going outdoors...
note: I say bonus points because I've never played a mmorpg
Looks very nice! I will be sure to check it out when I get the time.
