    I only play as a 4 or more these days. Get good people added to your friends (lots on here!)

    I typically do too, I even play ESEA and Cevo but occasionally ill just go play a quick solo match for whatever reason and immediately regret it, oh well, I must be into that sort of stuff I guess.

    CSGO community pisses me off sometimes. I get a non-english speaking teammate who I told to not block me on ladder who then shoots me and I call him out, which in return the 14 yearold on my team tells me hes gonna fuck my mom if I dont shutup. Life

    Purchased a ASUS GTX 980 4GB GPU because my old 660 is bricked and well, its time to upgrade, ordered it last Saturday. Well today I got my brand new GPU, excited, I quickly turned off my PC and got ready to put this bad boy in... little did I know that this GPU was 11 inches long and it wouldnt fit in my case! After trying to find any possible way to get it to fit, I ended up having to order a new case. So hopefully this Friday I will be able to assemble my computer with my GPU with my new case.

    Played a few versus matches today. I have to admit, it is quite a refreshing take on the MOBA genre and its super smooth, so thats cool. I do sometimes get overwhelmed in team fights, but I believe thats due to me not knowing what all characters do yet.

    Even over a week later I still really enjoyed this movie. Im going to go see it again this following weekend. It was just so good. The story being told via a movie as the medium may or may not of been the best choice, because the Story is deep and has a lot of information packed into it that may be hard for some people to grasp or appreciate in a 160 minute run time or so, especially with out any prior information or will to research stuff after seeing it, but overall I think its a phenomenal movie.

    Combine them into one mesh in whatever program you're modeling in (duplicate the planes several times, then attach/weld them together) and then make sure you have a new lightmap UV for this piece. Most modular environments have this issue, the difference is in how they hide the seams (either on a natural seam in the texture/mesh, or behind other geometry). In the realistic rendering example, the walls/floor/ceiling are just one purpose-built piece, and in the modular sci-fi environment the seams fall behind other geometry or in locations where a seam wouldn't look out of place.


    You can hide this effect with your textures/materials, too. Because the surface is a flat, light colour, it makes the seam really apparent. Look at these examples from the subway demo; the texture works well to hide the seam from the modular components and the obvious difference in shadowing (when you look at the scene in lighting-only mode). If you're going for a look that's less noisy then you have to find another way to hide the seams.

    Thanks for the info, that helped a lot.

    Do you mean combine them into one mesh? How would I go about doing that, or do you mean just model a new piece. Im slightly confused on why this would happen. Ive looked up a lot about modular design to make environments and even looked at some examples in engine, and none of them had this issue. Granted im using a very basic flat wall, but would this happen if I had a more extensive piece? Thanks for all the info though guys.

    Hey guys ive been learning how to model the last month and im having an issue in UE4. I made all the models in this scene(basic obviously) pillars and walls. The walls are 500x500 squares, but have some odd lighting issue between them when I tile them. Its not a UV lightmap either.

    Minos my admiration towards you is growing, Starcraft is my favorite blizzard game. I even have the books, im such a nerd. Yeah though wow LotV looks so fucking pretty. Im so excited for that shit, SCII has been cool and all but up until HotS(heart of the storm not heroes) there wasn't much new stuff really talked about. WoL had just snippets and HotS didn't really deliver the mass scale of it in the sense I think. Meanwhile LotV looks fucking sick with all the new areas, really exploring the different Protoss Factions and the utter demise of the Universe from Amon. Gives me hard nostalgia from the BW days when in the Protoss Campaign and you first see the Xel Naga Temple. Hot damn.

    it isnt what I expected. I cant condemn Blizzard for trying something new, just doesnt look my type of game. But ill give it a shot because im a blizzard fanboy.

    Is anyone watching? I feel like a new game is going to be announced. I am excited for Starcraft or Warcraft. If its a Hearth Stone related expansion ill be pretty disapointed. Surprised no one has made a thread.


    Hearth Stone Expansion - Goblins vs Gnomes Confirmed

    YES STARCRAFT Legacy of the Void!


    WOW A NEW VIDEO GAME and ITS overwatch im so sorry.


    Overwatch - Blizzards TF2.

    I have yet to play it, but from what I have seen, I think it can be so much better, but has had some overall design choices that make is just not that good. Hearth Stone which to me is the most casual of any game but still has some sense of competitiveness to it, while when I look at HotS I cant fathom on how it could be any more competitive than like Strife or Dawngate, those 2 other F2P Mobas. No offence.


    You need to play the game before you judge it. I've been playing it all the time and had some of the most competitive matches in any games I've ever played. It makes a big difference to be playing with friends in the same room though, since it's much easier to coordinate.


    If anyone wants to try the game give me a shout and I can see if I can get an invite


    Well I guess ill have to take your word for it. If you could get me a key id definitely play, that way I can give you a more informed opinion

    Anyone playing Heroes? I've been playing it everyday at lunch for months now, fucking love it.


    Just curious to see what the core thinks!
