  • DM Krodan - WIP - UT3

    I love the bridge part (last shot). The only thing I would say is that the texture scale could do with a bit of tweaking. Method mentioned it before - and it's probably me getting used to working with really high resolution stuff for my own project, but the textures in some shots do look a bit oversized/blurry. And if it shows up in small screenshots, it will ingame. Just a bit of scaling is all that's needed.

    yes but you can't edit dodge/burn later... use seperate layer set to overlay or mulitply or whatever and use light or dark colors to achieve the effect.

    I still prefer to use it, but I do it on a new layer, so I can refer to the layer underneeth if I make a mistake. I use overlay layers to do highlights and stuff though.

    Also, custom brushes here.

  • why I hate physical media

    Quote from Rick_D

    I downloaded CoD4 - just over 6gigs.

    Where is your physical media god now?!??!!!

    Digital is superior and only queers and steers want anything other than digital :S

    I got Bioshock 1 day before I would on Steam, with a physical copy, and £1 cheaper.

    There's my physical media god.

  • School shooting, now hitting europe (and games are involved)

    Quote from Thrik

    Horrible stuff, and genuinely frightening knowing some psychotic fuck in your own kids' school could end up doing it. Good job guns are relatively difficult to come by in the UK, especially for kids.

    Not if you read The Sun. In which case, every kid has a gun.

    What people confuse here (talking about people who criticise video games) is that people are violent to begin with, and then play games that reflect that. They are violent, so they play violent games. Not the other way around. Playing hitman doesn't make any rational person without a mental problem "Hey, I'm going to go and shoot my classmates".

    Didn't he die in hospital, though? So he shot himself in the head but it didn't immediately kill him? That makes this slightly less bad.

  • WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

    I already told numerous people that Kingpin is my favorite game and I guess pieces of it are in my levels. KP is what got me into level design and 70% of people I know in the industry have worked on that game.

    Oh yeah, I know that. I've played your KP map pack.

    The new shot looks very cool too - and the water looks better as well. Although it could just be the distance, in the other shots I don't think it fitted in with the rest of the scene.

  • Hammer Editor (Importing Models problem)

    I managed to get it to work, sort of. I entered the name manually and it seemed to work, although for what I was planning it was less efficient than func_breakables which was quite weird.

    Here's the QC though - I'm not sure what was going wrong:

  • Hammer Editor (Importing Models problem)

    I just exported a brush from hammer, UV'ed it, and exported it again. I've just found that certain edits I made work (that I compiled as static mesh's), but the normal block (prop_physics) is still crashing:
