The last screenshot is sexy! The fact that the trees are so tall (even if they're on cliffs and whatnot) really makes you feel small and lost. The swamp trees are odd, though I kind of like em; gives a wasteland feeling. One potential problem is that because the space seems so open, with very few br...

One of the defining points of a good forest, imo, is not how dense the trees are, but how dense the forest floor is. So a good way to make the forest feel "thicker" is to add more bushes, shrubbery, and low foliage. It helps eliminate that feeling that these are just isolated trees on a gi...

It's absolutely pathetic when people scream "SOCIALISM" and "GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER" at this bill. Some good was done yesterday, but there's no real public option, no single-payer, and the pharmaceuticals basically took away a victory here with no price negotiations, mandated rebate...

You know, I don't think I've ever had a hat drop for me, and now they just pump out more!

Old, but... Hinting is a way of forcefully splitting faces (and thus, creating more polys) in hopes that the engine will use the split as a new cutoff point for rendering. e.g. say you're in a complex outdoor environment, and you had a long complex indoor hallway that you can't physically see, but i...

Aha, released. Trying it out.
I have no idea what the arrows that pop up on the screen mean when using melee weapons.

I think you'd find some really good inspiration from de_museum (CS:S, not 1.6 version). The author of that did some really good work integrating custom models.

No, he's most definitely talking about the GoldSrc engine. If I recall correctly, your images need to be 8-bit BMPs ( 256 colors), with the last color (index 255, or the 256th color) representing the "transparent" one. I don't think it actually has to be pure blue, so long as the masked-ou...

It's kind of like The Ship, if you've ever played that.

There's a little over a day and a half left on this deal, so grab it while you can. For those people who had already pre-ordered NS2 before this, you can get a free copy of Overgrowth as part of the deal!

Real men make christmas trees out of world brushes!

This game makes me dizzy. I wish they'd let me free-rotate the camera.
