I'm just throwing this here, if you love the industrial decay like me, it's a huge source of inspiration, check this !

Superb !

I'm sharing it too !

In my case, my main social network is twitter, on my facebook page you only see my tweets.

I'm on google plus, but my friends don't post very often and I can't post my twitter automatically.

So I think I'm not gonna use it a lot... unless if they add the twitter updates.

That's funny to quote myself after one year !

Finally I consult my G+ everyday : adding 300+ people from Polycount help a lot to have some news.

Congrats'

Great article on SotC. That Wander guy has really dove down pretty deep into the game. If there was any game worthy of that, it's SotC.

Clearly, his work on the game is very impressive !

Quote from kikette

Hey froyoc !

When will you include the edge walking ? I like all these 3ds max inspired stuff. It's a good way to move to Maya definitivly when you love 3ds max feeling.

What do you call "edge walking" ?

Well, I don't know/use Max. It's funny to see that Max has already similar tools.

Quote from Minos

Kickass work dude! That's the awesome thing about Maya, it's the worst modeling package out of the box but with scripts like this it gets unbeatable

Is there a way to pick a vertex normal value from a vertex and paste it to another one by the way? If so I'm gonna be using the hell out of this.

Thanks !

That's easy to do (took me a bit of time to figure it out however) ! Put this code inside a shelf button (for example) :

{


    string $sel[] = `ls -sl -fl`;




    if(size($sel) == 2)


    {


        undo; //deselecting last component selected


        string $FSel[] = `ls -sl -fl`; // storing first selected component


        string $LSel[] = stringArrayRemove($FSel, $sel); //storing last selected component




        //normal


        float $t[]; //temp


        float $n[3] = { 0, 1, 0 }; //default normal = up vector




        //query the first normal


        select -r $FSel[0];


        $t = `polyNormalPerVertex -q -xyz`;




        $n[0] = $t[0];


        $n[1] = $t[1];


        $n[2] = $t[2];        




        //apply it to the second vertex


        select -r $LSel[0];


        polyNormalPerVertex -xyz $n[0] $n[1] $n[2];




        //reselect properly


        select -r $sel;


    }


}

Then select two vertices (source vertex first) and use the shelf button.

I could add this in the froTools when I think about it.

Quote from D3ads

Thanks for those shots, Froyok, I've never seen some of them before!

Quote from blackdog

Thanks for posting all that material, there were several shots new to me.

I even found some of these screenshots in HD version one day... but I lost them. :

Probably one of my favorite project. Especially for the steampunk/gothic map (which still inspires me today).

[EDIT] Forgot this one :

Still the crossing :

I love this project. Too bad it was canceled.

Quote from D3ads

I thought it would be interesting to post some games once in development that have ended up being shelved or "on hold" for a long time.

The Crossing

Arkane Studios was once developing an ambitious Source powered single/multiplayer FPS set in Paris in both a semi-apocalyptic distopian future and 1300s France. I was interested in seeing France being used in an FPS, but sadly it got canned first due to lack of financial support and then because of another project. Big pity, it looked to be a very interesting and original idea...

Quote from Thrik

Froyok, thanks for the further info about the unread thing — unfortunately I just accidentally deleted your post but I saw it and will be doing further work on fixing this soon.

Ha, no problem !

Is that the Cthulhu mod ?

Quote from Thrik

OK, so basically it keeps taking you back to the last unread post back when you marked everything as read? That is so strange. What happens if you do 'Mark this forum read' at the top of the forum, next to the 'New topic' button? Does it start using the latest page and get stuck on that too?

I just done that, now I will wait some posts to see if it happens again. I will give a feedback as soon I will have something.

Probably a conflict on the upcoming UE4 Powered Unreal 3 free 2 play.

Quote from Thrik

Ah, OK. If it's only affecting threads you haven't visited since the new software was implemented I don't think there'll be any round it, as the 'last unread' data probably didn't survive the conversion — at least not all of it. It sounds like the 'there is a new unread post in this thread' data made it, but the specific page to take you to didn't.

A possible way to stop this continuing to happen is to click the 'Mark Community Read' link right at the bottom of the page. This will basically mark every single post as having been read, thus any future icons you see will be based on new, working data.

Ok, I'm back on this problem and it becomes very annoying. I have made a strong clean of all the post on all the forum since the time you mentionned it to be sure that everything will be marked as "read". Unfortunately, some topic refuse to work correctly.

Especially these one :

[url='']http://www.mapcore.o...el-screenshots/[/url]

[url='']http://www.mapcore.o...m-model-thread/[/url]

When I'm in the home of a section and I click on the icon ( [Blocked Image: https://migrationtest.mapcore.org/public/style_i…_unread_dot.png] ) to read the lastest post of a thread, it send me to last post of when I used the "mark community as read". I'm forced to use the "Go to first unread post" which doesn't work on thread made before the new forum (it just sends me to the next page). On new thread it works well. I'm now 6/8 pages late on the WIP topic for example. Reading every page to be sure to update the "read" post don't update anything, I stay stuck in the past.

' timestamp='1353219530' post='317182']I also heard they have 16 bit normal maps, awesome.

Do you have more info on this ? I'm really curious.

Congrats guys ! I love your website !

So far the best one in this genre !
