Environment storytelling man, It's awesome.

Why do people smoke again?

Wait until it's your turn to have your cock sucked.

The prime example for me as a very artsy game is Mirror's Edge.

Quote from Taylor

Ico is about a girl losing her innocence, represented by Yorda being impaled on Ico’s horns and bleeding everywhere. Ico is definitely an art.

Girl, innocence, blood. Mmm.. I've seen this story before.

This article mentions some good point, we're all already aware of it, but still:

There was, now there isn't... or, there's less.

It does, especially if you are well rested. (Sleeping on your own bed, or if you pay for a room)

You mean enchantments? Or potions?

Exactly, learning how to retopologise it's a very valuable skills!

Yeah, but if you ask me, that's definitely going overboard with high frequency detail in the sculpt. I mean, yes, it looks good on a folio, but in the context of production I see no point in doing this, unless your job is only about making high poly pieces, which is what Kevin does. (Afaik, he doesn't model LP's, and if he does he probably just runs decimation master on them)

Although that piece looks marvelous, try and bake that on a 256*256 or even on a 512*512 normal map and all that detail is gonna turn into a shitpile of pixelated blobs, that's why you should have a readable high poly.

I prefer to keep the sculpts with low to medium detail, and do the high detail later, your shapes will read better that way. You can use either a overlay on top of the normal map, or use a tilling detail normal map to give it a bit of texture, but obviously it's all down to personal preference.

So if you're practicing for the sake of learning how to do it, then fuck it, do it, go overboard for the lulz! If you're making assets for games, it's better not.

That's fantastic knj! I am loving to see your progress dude, congratulations!

What was your workflow with the masks? How did you do your projections?

I agree that for a high poly is already pretty cool any more will probably ruin it, if you want more high frequency detail on your normal map, generate it in CB, Xnormal or NDO and overlay it.

Quote from Dark

I actually tweaked my game, at least as far as the 460 can push the look, very very close to what Deadend thrills looks like. Its mostly all to do with the uGridsToLoad=11. The funny thing is, when I set this setting along with many others, I didn't find my fps drop all that badly. The only problem was, the game would crash very frequently. Tonight I'm planning on trying setting uGridsToLoad to different values and see if I can get at least one to work without crashes. I'm having just as much fun tweaking this game as I am playing it.

Yep, that's exactly what the RPS article said: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/11 ... -pretties/

I wish I had a machine that was capable of maxing out like this, I could do it at work machine, but I like to play Skyrim naked, with only leather underwear on me, and a harpoon.

Quote from Vilham

I find arrows win. Against everything.

Sneak and bow is really fun, but it's hard. Gets easier as you level up, but... hard.

Btw, what dificulty level you guys playing? I'm playing the one between adept and master, forgot the name. It looks like a good sweet spot.
