    At the F8 annual event they have vaguely outlined what they expect about consumer VR in 10 years time (from min 13:00):

    Got to Daredevil #6.

    Series is ramping up!


    Why is he always attacking everyone with brute force, even when he can very well sneak up on people? Feels there's a bit too much fighting to make it valuable.

    Yeah there's definitely lots of cgi… this is why I'm pissed: these cuts look so final! Probably they're the first cuts they have completed our nearly completed for distribution.

    Still one year seems so long. Gonna check how long it took for The Hobbit as a comparison. Afterall if you are using green screen is not like you can't build the cgi sets you know you have to build, so it's likely that part started during filming(?)

    Lovely chilled electronica/rock track from Mt. Wolf, it's a slow burner so give it a few minutes:

    'Burgs' from the same EP on Spotify is also quite wonderful.

    Great suggestion!!!

    Listening from Spotify the whole of his works. I should follow you on Spotify, if you are on it.

    Make an animated loop texture with butterflies flying in the air with an transparent background (alpha channel),

    [...]

    Then, make a nodraw func_brush with no collision on it, texture one face with butterflies and make several brushes like these.

    The flies will be 2D, but it will be cost effective (in terms of performance) and good enough for CS:GO engine.


    This is a method that Mw3 and Black Ops 2 uses (when you see moths flying in the air).

    sure they don't use some kind of sprite? This technique can indeed work but only if you can't walk around the area. And sprites (like those used for a fire) should be cheap.

    I'll second that but I'd go further back, I remember not liking American Gangster and before that Kingdom of Heaven was a pile of shit. Gonna watch the American Gangster again at some point, to see if it was just me at that time.

    Also I love most of his older work but if I go through his filmography, it's more like one good and one bad...

    Ryan Gosling to star with Harrison Ford in Blade Runner sequel?

    The Drive star, who recently released his directorial debut Lost River, is being lined for the sci-fi sequel, according to Variety.

    Ford will reprise his role as replicant bounty hunter Rick Deckard but apparently will not be the star of the film.

    Not much is known about the plot except that it will take place several decades after the original.

    Wow, they've already finished shooting it?


    Quote

    Pre-production began at East Los Angeles Collegein October 2013, with principal photography starting in May 2014 in Detroit, Michigan with additional filming inChicago, Illinois. Filming concluded in December 2014.

    The film is scheduled to be released in the United States on March 25, 2016 in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D


    I'm just as baffled.

    And if it was finished filming so long ago, how come we have to wait an entire year before seeing it?! How can you start promoting a movie one year in advance... so much hype!

    I think the Daredevil netflix series is pretty good, still got a couple episodes left. The casting and or portrayal of Kingpin could have been better.

    Really? the choice of D'Onofrio is the reason I decided to give it a chance!

    Yeah while I was reading your last post I thought that probably particles would be much better.

    Unfortunately I don't have experience for those things.

    Theme and layout look interesting to me, you can easily fix routes with the suggestions you got, so keep working on it

    I have the director's cut, didn't know they had made graphical changes! In the specific video above I do prefer the original version, doesn't even look as filtered as much as it seemed from shots and I even devs playthrough I remember seeing before lunch.

    Shame there's no setting… guess they don't have full dynamic lights all over.

    You guys are tempting me to play now, while I just installed several games recently, still have to finish FC4, and most importantly try to finish a piece for the contest :-/

    Well it appears that you can only but it if you buy something else and that it is expensive enough to cost you something!

    You mean getting another game that makes up the difference? Where have you read that?


    In the email I was notified about FC3 only and something like that should be stated?

    So if happened already, you think is a marketing technique? Did you by that time?
