    That's one mother of a videocard, Peris. How much did that bad boy set you back?

    Getting close to completion on the update for this map. Most of the improvements made were thanks to the helpful feedback provided here on Mapcore, so thankyouthankyouthankyou to everyone who provided input. HUGELY appreciate it.

    Added a lot of detail, improved lighting and post-processing (0% desaturation!), completely redid cutscenes (and removed some), added & refined scripted events, and an additional enemy encounter (not zerkers).

    Here are a few WIP screenshots of the progress made over the last few weeks of picking this back up.

  • Thiago Klafke - Environment Artist

    Here are some grammatical suggestions to look more professional. I hope they helped.

    My name is Thiago Klafke, and I am a 3D Environment Artist, born and residing in Brazil. I have been designing and creating art for levels since the early days of Counter-Strike.

    I am currently looking for work as 3D Environment Artist or Texture Artist, preferably in Canada or Europe.

    I worked at Ubisoft Sao Paulo as a 3D and Technical Artist for 2 years. During this time I had the opportunity to work on multiple projects for different platforms, such as Nintendo DS, PSP and Nintendo 3DS.

    Below is a collection of some of the textures I made for Insurgency. Their original resolution is 512x512 - most of them have a specular and normal map.

    Once you get past the graphical issues, it's a pretty fun Fallout game. Can't really ask for more than that.

    Here's a few items that snatched me out of the immersion just running around the beginning area last night.

    Animation issues

    [Blocked Image: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4783596/Fallout%20New%20Vegas/Animation.jpg]

    Obvious seams in the textures

    Textures not lining up

    Boxy models.

    Scaling issues

    Navmesh not lining up with geometry, causing AI to "float" just above the ground in several spots

    ":2i81qz4b]Kotaku sucks but I can't help it but visit it at least once a day... :/So, what websites you guys often visit as well? Kotaku and RPS are pretty much the only ones I visit.

    Mapcore, a gaming forum, Gears of War User Maps forum, Facebook, and Kotaku. Feel like an intervention is needed some days.

    The ending was pretty interesting for sure. At first it was a let down and low key, but tied the whole series together nicely. Then after the credits rolled, it got real. Fast.

    Replaying Dragon Age. It's a nice break from the endless shooters.

    Has anyone checked out the DLC yet? Interested in knowing how that is.

    Is Nightmare a harder difficulty than the standard hardest setting when you first play through?

    ":d3kfd995]And the point of this thread is? A new Tomb Raider? Big deal, lol. For me, Tomb Raider franchise "died" on Tomb Raider 4 (Last Revelation) all the titles after that one are pretty much cash cows.

    Best Tomb Raider game ever!

    I'm hoping the military FPS is untrue and it's really Dante's Purgatorio.

    People are going to be extra critical when a game's commercials say "Modern Warfare, here is your competition."

  • Raven Software hit with layoffs

    Sad to see such an established studio get hit with these layoffs. Hope everyone lands on their feet.

    Does this happen when you strafe left, or is the player ALWAYS strafing left, even without input?

    If it's the former, try simply pressing the left strafe key to unstick it.
