    Hey man, you're from the same school as Robbert-Jan?

    I really dig the style of the page, the colors come together really really well. Navigation should sufice, but i would look into what luque mentioned.

    Work on a little bit more content, finished environments especially and also show it's props (With wires, texs, etc) and you should be ready to land a job in the industry for sure!

    After years of waiting, it's finally here! I'm really not much into racing games, but there's something about GT5 that's really classy and it really wanna makes me play it, it's probably the visuals!

    Yeah never looked into it at all. I don't have any PC games to grab textures from, was just wondering if anyone puts them up anywhere.

    No, and that's obviously illegal! Just buy the games, and do it yourself.

    Nah, it's getting there!

    Btw, avoid having your scratches in your normal map. It makes sense at first, but it always look weirds, cos it will end up looking like indentations instead. Having the scratches barely visible in the dif, and very strong int he spec, is usually enough.

    Keep kicking ass, and study your materials first!

    PS. I also noticed your scratches are very blurry. When painting this kind of stuff, avoid using blurred brushes, use harder brushes instead, otherwise you'll get weird "fadings", if that makes any sense.

    Really? I thought it looked pretty good, especially against most other openworld games and Prototype which was its main competitor and looks like dog turd.Not every game can be so good looking it won't run on your machine

    eh eh, true. I haven't played Prototype but apparently it's pretty ugly, yeah. I'm sure infamous 2 will look great, and it will much much much better than the first one!

    I only played like 2 ou 3 hours of borderlands, got tired of it somehow.

    I'm playing Infamous atm, main missions are nice, secondary missions are very repetitive and almost always boring.

    I really dig the whole, either be bad or good aspect of the game, and how it affects the powers you have and how you play.

    Also, you keep unlocking shit and new moves, half way through the game and still unlocking new shit is an awesome way to keep you addicted into the game and always trying to get more xp.

    Game looks really bad tho, most of the env art is bad, even keeping in mind it's a sandbox game. And there's almost no art direction, most textures are grey.

    Still, what matters is that I'm having a great time with it. (I'll give you your copy back as soon as i'm done with it furyo )

    I agree, nice usage of the modular pieces. But it somewhat still feels empty. Needs more high frequency detail, and more vegetation to break up the chunky look!

    Too noisy for my taste, I can't even make up what is that supposed to be? Mud? Concrete? Metal?

    Less is always more, and always study the kind of materials your trying to recreate. Check eat3d texturing dvd, and there's some good gnomon texturing dvd's too.

    always study your materials and how they behave accordingly to different light!

    Yeah, I have a huge bookmarks list. I'm a organization whore when it comes to bookmarks too, so I have everything split into categories so when I'm having problems with something, be it modeling, UV'ing, texturing, i know where to go and find help fast.

    Maybe I should create a thread with some links on them!
