These wires from ferroconcrete are way to thick.

I was contemplating scaling the rebar down so thanks for the confirmation. The reason they're so big in the first place was to ensure noticeably from the silhouette during the blockout stage. Obviously they're a bit too noticeable

The fence should actually be fine because the alpha being used is from the bake, so the padding added to the thickness of the wiring. Once I blockout the textures for it, I'm going to create a proper alpha.

Need an idea how to make a nice tree without using alpha...

No alphas? Is it for non-realtime stuff?

Haha, nice lemming.

Started some base textures for a scene I'm working on. The wood and metal source photos I used are terrible though, replacement immanent . Would you guys like to see more bird crap on the cloth?

Gorillas-

Half way through Joe's Adventures DLC for Mafia 2.

Who ever gave the go ahead on the 'don't drive below 35mph for more than 3 seconds' mission'... fudge you... fudge you big time!

If you wait for the newest version, you're just going to end up with the same problem. I have similar dilemmas when looking to build or upgrade a computer, at one point you just have to pull the trigger. There's always going to be better versions of what ever you buy, sometimes as soon as a month down the road.

Quote from csyver

then wait until next spring and you'll have another one with more upgrades. and i really don't need yet another thing with a camera on it (i heard 3DS will have three cameras, what the hell?). i've had the first iphone since release and still don't see any reason to upgrade it.

Quote from Buddy

It does, when its a Valve game you're buying

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Such an arbitrary "rule", I've no idea why they came up with it.

For those who don't know and don't own Mafia II, it's 75% off on Steam today ($12.50USD). I HIGHLY recommend picking it up for the price while you can.

The DLC for Mafia II is on sale as well so I bought Jimmy's Vendetta and Joe's Adventure. Think I'll make my way through those before starting up Mafia

I already own the first Stalker but it was cheaper to buy it in the bundle. Shame Steam doesn't give you an extra copy of the games you buy

I'm waiting until the 2nd to see if there's any more deals on specific games, otherwise I think I'll be getting Arkham Asylum, Assassins Creed 2, along with a few others perhaps.

Quote from Serenius

Seriously. Who buys Doom anymore?

Haha, I thought about twisting HP's post in a similar fashion

Although I will say that the dosbox settings Steam uses to run Doom aren't that great. The sound chops in and out every few seconds and it's extremely annoying :\

Not at all! History is awesome, every one should look into it. Especially those who claim Jesus' never existed [Blocked Image: https://migrationtest.mapcore.org/public/style_emoticons/default/mapcore_smilies/emot_shakehead.gif]

WOOOOOO! MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS! :santahurg:

Great job, Corwin

I WOULD be playing BFBC2: Vietnam if Steam had their shit together and posted the message that BC2 needs to be owned through Steam in order to play BEFORE I pre-ordered it... Still waiting for support to respond to my refund question

I bought Oblivion and Elder Scrolls around a year ago on Steam, haven't gotten around to playing them. Once I finish up SC2 (bought that the day it came out, I'm slow to play my games) I'm definitely going to plow my way through them so I'm ready for this.

Quote from dux

I haven't even played the first one yet ¬_¬

Same.

I don't have one of them there fancy Playstation units everyone talks about

PS3 exclusive... awesome

Don't worries! Steam's Christmas sale is just around the corner, it'll probably be around the same price.
