Maybe its just a Crytek thing then?

Well, from what I hear from certain people it's frowned upon - though there's nothing in the contract to say you can't.

The same for most gmae companies is it not?

ohhhh, spiky helmets. Made a quick concept of my idea that rolls in at 320 tris. I'll do it properly tomorrow night.

Awesome. Microwave and oven models need work - but this is awesome. Could do this as a mapcore contest/excercise - MODEL YOUR KITCHEN! Mine has too much stuff though ¬_¬ It would be good fun IMO. er, maybe. Who'd be up for it?

Awesome. I used to love those games. SORII was the absolute pinnacle. The AvP arcade game was cool as well, though it was absurdly hard. Something like that would be awesome with the physics and graphics we have nowadays.

I'd like to work in the industry - but I'm not driven enough to work really hard on doing laods of stuff in the evening when I finish my 9-5 crap. I settled for the 'here for the chicks' option in the end.

Definetly need to mix up your building a bit by varying height and texture placement and maybe adding the odd trim.

Ah, thats what it is then. My broadbands been going haywaire of late in a similar way, so that sounds like it may well be the problem.

The major problem with the in-game scene you present is the simplistic geometry and poor lighting. Improve those aspects, layer upm the detail and spend some time htere and it will really make your model work beeter. I agree with Renos initial assessment that your Rabbit-woman is a little scary, looks sort of like an olympic weightlifter whos chugged too much testosterone. She still looks a little scary TBH. Technically, your work is sound, but there seems to be something missing, it all looks a bit too uniform and bland to my eye. If you're going for cartoon it needs to be a bit more soft, somewhat more rounded and friendly. The models are fine, but the textures are a little too brutal. It just needs a bit of softening applied overall. That or you run the other way and go all American McGees Alice and soak everything in blood, gore and the LSD nightmares of a Vietnam Vet. er, you may wish to ignore some or all of what I've said. people in glass houses etc. But I do aoccasionally hit the mark.

I seriously need to dig up some of those Q1 maps from Aaradaapel and Peej. Back then that stuff used to make my jaw drop, specially considering the crap I was spitting out.

I tohught they went tits up? Foolish moi, I heard they weren't doing MP3 (badoom tish) and thought they had moved elsewhere. Seen the Alan Wake trailer, not really my bag, but they have a nce visual flair and nive environmental design.

Rockstart North. What are Remedy now? wouldn't mind working there. Raven would also be cool.

Stairwell could do with some more dings and water staining on the floors. The stairs look a bit to steep as well - the height seems ok, but teh actual length of the stairs seems a little short. Could maybe do with slightly more varied lighting in the parking garage itself and a bit more brightness. Otherwisae lovely and as mentioned your exteriors look great.

I'm fairly sure I've used it in one of my maps. Got a slightly better source file for it somewhere.

pros: Good cook. Reasonably witty/clever. Loyal. Inquisitive. Reasonably competent at a fair amount of things. cons: Total boozehound. Love the stuff. Have an unfortunate tendency to get totally blotton and do bad, bad things. Unfocussed. I never work on a few things at once. I've always got about 20 things on the go. No attention span. I have difficulty doing anything (especially on a computer) for more than about 45 minutes, so anything I make is done over a long period in 45 minute bursts. I work slowly. Self absored.

Well done Reno! Should be an interesting place to work.

Yeah, I'd just as well see a fucking good action FPS made with a novel (ish) theme as a hyper innovative traffic management RTS - MMORPG crossover game being done. Yes, concept games like Uplink and Darwinia and Black & White all have their place, but I want GTA4 and shooty shooty goodness. So there.

More TS style mods. There needs to be more diving, rolling and general acrobatic stuff in FPS games. A decent Cyberpunk/Vampire shooter would be good and I crave a good western. Nothing orginal, I'd just like to see certain things done better and with a bit more thought and care.

Would you consider DoDifying it? Looks frigging ace.

STOP WITH THE BLOODY FILTERS MAN! Looks alright to me. Any chan ce of some sort of overview?

Will PM you tonight.

I would, but I've only got the version from beta 2.2.21 or something like that and the one from version 3. Don't have 2.1 installed anymore.

Looking really nice. Good work.
