Ok so im nearly done with my Unearthly entry, but I could really do with some decent feedback before I submit anything:

Hmmm didnt work for me with MAX 
Cool! 3DS Max does this all the time and it really pisses me off, gonna try it now
had this in my mod when using detailshapes in vbsp. My coder couldnt figure it out so I ended up sticking to plain old detailsprites instead. You doing it for an OB mod? I think the vbsp or vrad supplied with the OB is a bit broken in this respect tbh.
The first version was made by Dan Pinchbeck (http://%7boption%7d), a teacher of experimental game design at Portsmouth uni, and a couple of his students as an experiement. The first version was pretty rough to put it mildly, but I though it had great potential and asked if I could take the design and develop it into something which was deserving of this.
Basically I started from scratch, and apart from the audio, am rebuilding everything from the ground up.
Just something I need to get out of my system really. I always wanted to make a mod/game entirely solo, firstly to prove to myself I dont need some art director or producer picking over every detail to be able to make good visuals, and secondly to create something unique and emmersive that will (hopefully) be remembered for a long time to come!
I think it's finally time to post some of the Source mod i've been working on over the past 4 months, still early days yet, but im almost through the first level (minus polish) so the time seems right to show some WIP shots:

I wouldnt say he has balls, he's just a greedy c**t
How difficult would you say it is for a non-coder to pick up the scripting in unreal?
Not sure how low budget it needs to be but Fire In the Sky is a pretty cool film
Gah!!! It's not fair, if only this had happened a few months ago I would have defintely used this or unity for my mod, now im stuck with the Source engine
Thanks for the feedback guys! im going to work on it this weekend and try and improve it, im not sure how I can combat their being too much yellow, nor how to seperate the boat more from the background more than I already have, but i will try. Ok so it seems the 1st shot is better but I still need to pick another angle for the comp, the thrid shot was an attempt at that, but ima guessing not many people like it?
Been working on my unearthly entry these past few weeks and could use some decent feedback it tbh.
It depicts a viking funeral and the end of an epic journey where the hero has sacrificed his life to save the world from darkness.
So far im deciding between these two angles for the first shot:

And this for the 2nd shot

Still need polishing up which is where some good feedback could be useful.
Woah cool free? seriously what's the catch? Do you have to pay them still for commercial use? Some of their demos are really impressive
Never understood what was so great about the first one
Indeed, I dont feel there's anything fresh or exciting from what i've seen of the sequel. The first, although oozing atmosphere, was horribly linear and lacked any real depth. This one just looks like more of the same, in fact I'd say it looks more action less atmosphere this time around.

Did you try inversing the polarity of the sheild harmonics?
Im hoping to enter this year, but im having a bit of a hard time with this theme. Need to find some inspiring imagery I guess. My other dilemma is which engine to use for it. Anyone else from the 'Core entering?

Try something like this for the trees, post an image of what it looks like in-game if possible 
As for the blend mod, the sharpness is defined in either the green or blue channel I believe (black being super sharp i think)
