Another thing for a vietnam themed party. They are loading apples in to the gun .

Bit of a lull at work, so been keeping myself busy with some random painting in photoshop: This one is going to be a poster for a party we are having, we will be getting in a load of scrumpy (scrumpy being a potent alcoholic beverage made from apples in case you didnt know) *edit* Another poster for the above party

Love the muddy footprints on the flats , really nice little touch of detail.

Yeah the trunks tiling.

Thanks chaps, its a real pain doing snow branches, thats about the third revision I made over lunch. Its not perfect but its the best of a bad batch lol.

Snow pine for dead be for xmas.

I used to have a 26inch trials bike, and I also have a mod trials one in my garage . I have a friend who is very VERY good at it, I am really average lol. *edit* on the theme, this will explain it to those not in the know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERK547rNyNk

Oooh a trials frame , nice.

Xmas release is the plan . *edit* Another quick concept, still throwing ideas around for the look and feel while I work on the orange box.

Oh hai! one year later lol but I have an update. The project was put in the deep freezer as the sdk was not released in time for my xmas deadline. This year however I have a test version of the map up and running already. Its going to be a survival map to cut down on the work needed. Heres a fresh teaser for the 09 season .

I am cracking away making textures, just thought I would mention its also had a name change . *somthing*4dead already feels like a cliche so its now called deadb4xmas .

With my Love of all things christmas and all things left4dead I feel compelled to make a map that combines the two. Hopefully I shall keep this thread up to date with whats done. I am getting help from a couple of friends with extra props for the map. The plan is a spooky ish christmas town, you move through it handing out christmas spirit (death) to the zombies. Heres what I have at the moment, a couple of rough photoshop sketches.

You could say, the other zombie mods will be left for dead...... man I crack myself up .

Minor tip that I got from my tutor when I did my dissertation. Make it so your presenting an argument, show both sides then make sure you draw conclusions for why you feel somthing is the way it is. Its easy to get dragged in to just discussing a topic without coming to any real point at the end. On my animation course we had to do a major essay in the second year then the full on dissertation in the third year. My first essay barely scraped a pass, I spent a lot of time waffling on about the topic but by the end I had gone nowhere. My full dissertation was on the exact same subject, but I layed down the facts then drew my conclusions from them. The second essay got me a first . So in conclusion, if your trying to put forward an argument its much easier to write.

The brown rust sections might look better if the normals went in rather than out. Looking at it, the rust seems to be in areas where the paint has been scraped off exposing the metal underneath.

I like the lighting quality, some nice subtle colours going on there.

Bought it, played it, loved it. Great game, I loved all the environment work.

greenwich mean time is where all the kool kids hang out , who needs + or - when your at the source of time.

Cheers guys.

Yeh they made carmageddon.

Just been hired as a level designer for Stainless Games . Very pleased.

Nope, just had a couple of hours spare and wanted to make a prop .

Battlegrounds 2.

Well spotted, I must of pasted it in the wrong vmt. Should look like this: piano.vmt "vertexlitGeneric" { "$basetexture" "models/piano/piano" "$bumpmap" "models/piano/piano_normal" "$envmap" "env_cubemap" "$envmaptint" "[.2 .2 .2]" "$normalmapalphaenvmapmask" 1 } I will update the download, or you can edit the vmt's in notepad to match the above.
