Grape growing, fish protection clash in Calif.
HEALDSBURG, Calif. (AP) -- Grape growers in Northern California's cool, fertile Sonoma County wine region are stomping mad at a new plan to limit the amount of water vineyards can pump from local rivers and streams to protect crops from frost -- a proposed regulation meant to safeguard coho salmon, a species on the brink of local extinction.

As a portrait photographer, I am always trying to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera so I can capture a real emotion from them. Whether it be for personal or commercial use, each person or group that I photograph is studied, considered, and shot with meticulous attention to detail both in composition and technicality.
Color. Lighting, Atmosphere. Those are the things I look for when creating images for personal projects. This is a sampling of some of the subjects and places I have visited in the past.
One of the greatest challenges I face in food and still life photography is bringing all of my interests and skills together to create elegant visuals for both advertising, editorial, and end-user clients. I specialize in artificial light setups and work with the latest technologies available.
Known and recognized for intense and colorful photographs, I work closely with my clients and art directors to produce eye-catching commercial photographs with a unique style that not only fit and promotes your brand's messaging, but also draws viewers impressions to help you meet your advertising goals.
Audio Production
Here you will find a selection of work that I have mixed and produced for various clients. The samples include both licensed stocked audio and audio procured in the field. I work primarily in Adobe Audition.
Field Recording
It has been my opinion that sound has the ability to invoke feelings and memories better than any of our other senses. Though we rarely realize it, our ears are fed a nearly constant stream of auditory information. Sometimes it is faint and other times it is distinct. I enjoy capturing that information and manipulating it to bring out the subtle nuances that are so often overlooked in our daily lives.
Self-taught and ever humbled by my teachers and mentors, I have only have one thing to thank for my advancement in design... being thrown to the wolves. Having provided vast amounts of completed digital assets for some of the world's largest media brands such as Dreamworks Animation, The Walt Disney Family Museum, Disney Fine Art, Sony Pictures Animation, & Hasbro to name a few, I have the real-world experience to help your company grow and share its messaging and reach your target audience.
I have experience in 2D and 3D development systems such as Adobe Creative Suite, Newtek Lightwave, Sketchup, AutoCAD, and others.
I provide custom wedding services for the bride and groom who are looking for something more editorial, more natural, and more technically advanced than standard, traditional wedding photography.
Traditionally, my clients have placed an emphasis on preserving their wedding day memories in photographs in the form of a candid wedding story. I strive hard to provide a service and product which are unique yet reasonably priced. I am a low-volume wedding photographer, serving only a hand-full of clients each year and at very reasonable prices.

The housing rebound continues to ramp up at a breakneck
New data shows that home prices in 20 cities jumped 12% from a
year ago. That's the biggest annual rise since March of 2006 (i.e.
- before the housing bubble burst).
Plus, sales were up more than 2% in May, and 29% compared to
last year.
Trulia's Chief Economist, Jed Kolko, reveals that rising prices
might be short lived, however. Thanks in large part to an increase
in mortgage rates: "Rising mortgage rates will help cool down price
increases. That's because as rates rise, housing gets less
affordable - and a given mortgage payment can't support as much
That's not necessarily the case, though.
Chief Investment Strategist, Louis Basenese, does agree that
rates are on the rise. As he said earlier in June, "Four weeks ago,
the average interest rate stood at 3.71%. Now it's up to 4.14%,
according to the latest national survey by Bankrate.com."
But he also pointed out that, as rates started to rise, housing
demand wasn't affected at all! "Mortgage applications actually rose
4.7% last week," says Louis. "So the higher rates aren't derailing
demand one bit."
And rising rates aren't likely to cool demand anytime soon. Why
Well, back in 2006, interest rates stood at about 6.5%. And, as
you know, that certainly didn't put a damper on demand at the
Of course, the housing market isn't the only sector to benefit
from the boost in home prices…
As real estate value goes up, consumers become more confident
and less fearful about spending their hard-earned cash in other
areas, too.
As S&P Dow Jones Indices' David Blitzer says, "Rising
housing prices have increased wealth. More people own houses in
this country than own stocks, and as home prices go up, people are
richer, and they feel richer."

Agreed, just add a new item to the update list "new comments on page X" instead of a mail.
So the free ride is over? :D (I don't have Minecraft but I know a lot of you keep referring to the get-everything-during-alpha "contract".)
My dad's a cop, I'll make sure he puts in a good word for you! You've got nothing to fear.
Abusing the quote button somewhat lately? :p
It's always a pleasure seeing your avatar. Have fun!
Hey Para,
I just wanna give you 2 thumbs up for your comments on the "unlimited atoms" thread.
True, it looks weird. The first thing I did was open her profile and check her activity points, ah well... we don't have to know everything I suppose...
Agreed, most of the indie games are just too expensive for what they are.
On one side they say "we are indie so we can only do this" and then say "we are indie so we need your money that's why we ask ...."
I agree with you that 2D games are usually pretty shallow and rip offs and not worth the money. But that doesn't mean you should pirate them, just go play the games that ARE free.
E8400, duo core running at 3 Ghz. But for my rendering needs a 4 core, or 8 is actually required.
But to only buy a 4/8 core cpu just for some amateur rendering is overkill.
So who's profile I have to check for that "Empires" video?
Great pod's btw!
I wanna touch him... Amazing job! Are these view port grabs from 3ds max? The shader looks sweet!
You haven't played any bad PS3 games... strange!
You're "if someone invents a new ..." thinking is wrong.
By the time this "unlimited graphics" has a matched "unlimited nimations" and "unlimited physics" engine (ignoring every other "unlimited" component needed to make a full game) polygonal engines will have made major leaps forward as well.
It all sounds cool but you can't really do anything with it yet, so what's the point in comparing yourself with *real* (complete) engines.
They are comparing themselves with Crytek. I want to bet that if Crytek only had to focus on graphics they would be able to beat this unlimited graphics engine (who *really* needs unlimited zoom?). But they have other things to worry about: networking, physics, gameplay, ai, ...
Putting blobs on the screen is only half of the story in a real game, if it even is half...
It all relates to each other so what's the point of getting all these blobs on the screen when you can't do anything with it?
Also -> read dragonlords post.
Good point about the cost for artwork.
Haha! Yeah... I mean there is a good reason why they use polygons, I oversimplify but anyone can draw dots on the screen.
Why are so little people using actual vector graphics for 2D games? It's the same thing.
Ok implement this in a REAL game and we'll talk, show me some physics.
Looks great, tracking.
Well I know at least one game that can be modded on the PS3 - Unreal Tournament 3.
I guess it all depends on the engine, consoles are really just dumbed down PC's with the same hardware (especially the hard drive disk).
No mods is fine with me.
No offline mode however, thanks but no thanks Blizzard.
I'll play something else.
On kickstarter they say it will probably be around 10$.
I like the graphics and style so far! But... "top quality experience like you've never seen before", I think I've seen games like this before ;).
Or are you purely talking about free-roaming and mobile devices?
Skills at work. Good job!
Hey, thanks for the compassion-comment haha. But I delete comments after a while, keep things fresh you know :p.
Sup with you? Taking a different route in art I see, less drawing more processing.
I don't get it.
No, I would like to but there are still a few reasons why I don't buy one yet:
- all the facebook/twitter/other crap that gets installed
- I drop my cell every few days, a smartphone doesn't stand a chance!
- with "mobile internet" costing what it does today (here), it's not worth it - and without internet why even bother?
- ...
Makes no difference to me, if I can run it with max/high settings I'll buy it!
I'll keep spamming the negative karma button, because the answer to this question as been given multiple times already. Yet again on this post: Cl0p1n
I did not check your program but, again, your models look really good.
I've used this image as reference: Urania.be
Just for fun atm.
Nice car, is it perhaps from the 3D Buzz tutorial?
Yes change the materials for the rubber and the mirrors. Also use some post processing to bring out the red and yellow, it's a bit "flat" now.
A LOT better than your motorbike render from before :p.
Currently none - maybe a really small game or something I don't know...
Thx, I guess...
There are 2 counters on this image:
- Released in 3 days
- Out in 4 days
Well that's an interesting video...
What do you mean by all quests? The one's unlocked so far? If you can toggle quests (active/inactive) then the second one is best.
On the other hand, if you really mean "all quests" as in, all possible game quests - the first.
Does not support Vista or 7? Still 20 euro's? Will you do a remake to support us new-age kids? Can't really buy it if I can't play it.
Hi, ActionScript 3 has loads of connection possibilities (usually these come with other tools of Adobe but not all). Why rely on a a 3th party server?
Sorry but no. Consider polishing the graphics and maybe use the accelerometer for strafing instead of the buttons.
So is the character a plane? Which cycles a tile-sheet as it's texture?
Make the character move faster, I also think 1 second looks like a long time, judging from the video.
It's coming together rather nicely!
Good stuff! Care to go a bit more in depth about how you get these effects in Blender? A guide to use BGE might be a bit much but just a few tips and tricks you've learned?
Excellent art!
Sounds a little predator like but ok! Btw, if a species has advanced space transportation - I highly doubt that they will revert back to hot spikes as ammunition. If they can build advanced spaceships, a "laser" weapon shouldn't be a real problem. (Which would use a variant of the fuel used in the spaceship)
Looks good, maybe make it so that the camera follows the car orientation (smooth).
Looks great!
Sounds good.
I'm assuming you know why it was a pain to add new features, and you're avoiding those issues in the new build.
Show it with such leg animation added because it looks really bad.
I remember noticing this project a while back and thinking "ok, cool. I'll wait till it gets usable enough". But like many projects, it got abandoned.
Why stop working on it, what good is it now? Especially if you're going to use it as a portfolio piece.
Oops the first sentence should have been:
- I don't think these "updates" are doing you any good.
I don' think these "updates" are NOT doing you any good. Almost every video I've seen are really bad. Saying "wip" doesn't change that.
First impressions are important!
That's pretty bad actually. Why are the legs not moving?
All hail Anim8or!
I've looked at the images you've uploaded and it doesn't look all that complicated, so I think Flash can handle your game. If you end up getting lag it's probably because of bad code.
I also wouldn't wait for the rewrite, just do it. Like you say the more code you put in the current code base the more you'll have to rewrite.
The story sounds ok, I don't know why the entire colony needs to move to another planet because of a few cave-ins but ok... Also what made the robot wake up? A power surge from somewhere down below (sounds like a good quest)?
Great, keep it up! I was wondering why you use the old Blender but if *you* work best in the old one by all means stick with it.
I'm glad I tracked this!
If he can make a time machine, he can surely finish the blueprints himself right?
Relax, yes this is a game. But it's obviously based on Minecraft (or was this one first?).
Saying it isn't a clone, doesn't make it not a clone. I don't play any of those games. But it's the same deal with many of the FPS games - which are clones of COD/BF/CS.
Not in Berlin but I wish you the best of luck and hopefully you'll gain plenty of fans.
Really nice UI!
I feel bad to tell you this, again, please let someone who actually speaks English (or is good at it) write your posts.
That was not my point.
Posts like these tell me that the project in question will end up dead. If you don't want this project to die, just stop talking about it dying!
No, the alpha is just a fancy editor. There is no real storyline, the only thing you can do is run around and fight.
We'll see when it's done. As long as they don't burn through their money and end up not being able to finish the game because they've got to find other jobs...
Hellz yeah! But... mine was black :p
The map looks really cool.
The pixel art hints at a somewhat more interesting game... My favorite gift: the Sega 16bit console!
You'll never STOP piracy, you can however reduce it. And cheaper games is one way of doing that.
Instead of complaining about how much money they are losing they should think of ways to invest less in games.
I'm sure that blizzard/ea/crytek/... can make AAA games without the need for an XXX million "enter currency here" investment upfront.
They are digging a hole for themselves and are demanding that WE (consumers) fill it back up.
As most wind turbines are :p. The generator (the thing where the blades are attached to) is usually the size of a (small) bus.
It's a bit redundant to post tri's and poly's. If you can - only post the triangle count. The polygon (with 4 edges) count will almost always be half the triangle count.
Can you post a wire render and a closeup/bigger image?
repeated reiterating over existing features is hardly something I call "flipping" progress. It's progress yes, now on to new things please.
Like I said most of the so called "progress" is about the phoenix engine and the stuff it can do differently now then a few weeks ago.
BTW, I already gave them my money so they can do what they want. Other developers have less fans for more game. I'll see you on the next "flipping" progress report.
I think the blood system was good enough before, yes it's even better now. It wouldn't hurt anyone if they actually made some progress on the game itself before keep going over the eye candy stuff. (again)
You guys keep caps locking "this game is amazing" but there is, in fact, no actual game. At the moment "Overgrowth" is nothing more than an elaborate engine tech demo.
They should post these updates on the "phoenix engine" page instead, imho.
Ok, but I rather have a good game without heavily engineered blood effects instead. Am I the only one who wants to see progress on the actual game instead (which is pretty much nonexistent now)?
Feature creep is kicking in perhaps?
This UI sucks, if I wanted to have the tablet feeling I'll buy a tablet! What's happening to desktop computers?! :(
And pretty not so amazing mods as well! Not a dev here.
Hi, the hair looks nice. I only think the desaturated look of the rest of the character doesn't do the hair justice!
Who ever said bunkers shouldn't stand out? :p
Maybe add some nice black outlines around some edges of the mountains for example. This will help split up the image in different area's.
Nothing beats properly done cell shading!
The image rocks as is already, nice job!
I'm taking an official break from modeling but you can see some of my work in my profile.
You don't really need a graphics tablet, it will "only" help you draw more precise. I would suggest you focus on creating a good base mesh. You can not learn it all in one go.
I was about to say: neat graphics.
But that's just a random image isn't it?
Just because it runs fine doesn't mean it can not be improved. Think about it like this, if you have 100k models, you can NOT add 4 of them in 1 arena. Have the arena look impressive (enough polygons) and add all shaders/lighting at a playable framerate for everyone.
If you can do it with 2k polygons, why make it 20k?
Well the positive thing is the face looks like a face... good job :p.
Some points to help you improve:
- the base mesh should have just enough definition so you don't have to guess what's it going to be. 344 polygons for a character is not enough.
- with each "level" you should try to sculpt as much as you can with it, don't keep adding levels just because it adds polygons. Keep it simple.
- level 7 is clearly too much for a character like this. This is because of 2 problems:
1) your base mesh is TOO simple, which results in having to up the levels quickly.
2) you do not push enough polygons in each level.
and maybe a final note:
- smooth doesn't mean good.
And what are you doing! I expect bleyblade action, lol :).
Keep it up, you'll get there.
This looks weird. It's like the water level rises or the trees are growing underwater.
Even for $3 this game deserves a lot more polish.
- Better graphics, even just slightly...
- The "animation" of starting the jump needs to be a lot smoother
- The "flying" and "gliding" is really static/lineair
What target audience do you have? Little kids probably do not care.
I used this site to convert points to money: Xboxlive.ign.com
Very good, and somewhat late indeed, update. Good work!
Suggestion: filter the database so that "shotcut" games do not show in the list of sellable games. And do not count them as part of the Desura catalog, it's giving the customer the wrong impression.
Switch: switches between states. A light switch turns the lights ON, and if you press it again - OFF.
Button: sends a signal (either short pulse or for as long as you are pressing the button) to another system. The power-on "button" of the computer sends a signal to the motherboard.
I guess...
Original: 1.bp.blogspot.com
Make this a poll or something?
I vote for 2, simple and clean.
That is, indeed, a nice shell!
Sounds promising, concept art looks great as well.
That looks great, is the pixellated version a filter/shader or an actual image?
Always top quality models and textures!
Well, it's hardly something original (even when you add the slice stuff) but it looks pretty well executed.
Good job.
Thanks guys, sad to say my license has been expired and I wont be able to create new stuff in the near future.
I'm glad you guys like it!
If you call this level "done" (without enemies), even 50 of these levels wouldn't make me spend money on it.
And people always say "it's WIP" when you give critique. Like I said, you've got some things left to do.
Good luck!
Give the stars some "glow" on the ground. Change the camera (higher) so you can not see through the level anymore. Is it possible to walk on stairs without jumping? Do not apply collision detection on broken parts of a box.
You've got some things left to do but it's looking good as a prototype.
I read you are going to sell this game, imho it's far from something I would give my money on.
It's looking pretty decent so far, I can only really judge when you have scripting or other advanced features.
Why would it be a "****" move? People use open source software for commercial purposes all the time.
If he can create a game that people would pay for I see no reason why he wouldn't try to sell it.
Not a good idea to involve god in your modding stuff. If you do quit, you'll owe him big time!
That's some investement, to buy the android license as well for unity.
The level editor looks pretty sweet, the auto tiling is very nice.
I would like to see some code, for instance how you've set up the physics of the cargo, custom or included with Unity?
So it's tetris but you have to "make" the blocks first? What if the beat is too slow and you can't make the block in time (say you only have 3 lines left open on top)
Dang... that's a pretty smooth workflow. So if you were to "save" the map and load it back up it would still be there?
Maybe I should start taking advantage of my pre-order...
Great work! Man I love me some nice matcap...
Eat3d.com it's just that obvious(?).
How is that powned? That guy is being nothing more than a complete a-hole. If he really speaks for the majority of the British people then the majority are a bunch of idiots to talk like that without even knowing the guy. Because it would have been so much better if a British politician would be the leader of the EU. So we could kiss the *** of the USA a bit more.
I'm not protecting him because I'm from Belgium as well, well.. that's not the only reason - you just don't talk to someone like that, specially if you don't know him at all. He's just jealous.
This project is one of the best looking ones to come out of unity so far!
Very nice!
Are you anyone special not to get a C&D?
He's giving you advice about the possible future - you might want to think really hard about how 'halo' you want to make this.
Maybe have a chat with these guys: Moddb.com
The reflection on the windows doesn't really math the background...
And in comparison to the character model this model looks low poly...
Not really... I don't have any experience making isometric tiles, if you could show me the light I might do something eventually.
Also be sure that you have nothing "blocking" (firewalls or other security settings) the connection. When I was first using Stratus - inside a company network - I could retrieve my id but couldn't connect to another player.
Hello, could you please send me your project (without your key of course, I'll add in my own). I'll take a look.
Without the actual example this "presentation" isn't really anything special... Just some marketing presentation thing.
I've played the demo and $10 is a bit much imho. But it looks 'fun' and polished enough to actually sell so good luck!
You're really doing a lot of work on this game. Makes me wonder if the game is good enough without this mod.
It looks amazing so far!
The poll isn't about whether you can or can not create an entire project by yourself. It's about having the motivation to get yourself to do it, and keep doing it.
One of the reasons why so many projects fail is because of the lack of (self-)motivation.
That's a nice looking weapon! And a nice screen shot.
Good stuff, glad you're 'healty' again. The map reminds me of the Simpsons intro. Good luck with the exams.
Very nice!
Can you have a higher resolution? The "smelter" fills almost the entire screen. Everything looks pretty smooth, nice.
The cars look very nice. But the layout needs some work.
I would suggest putting the selector more toward the top/bottom (and make it wider and less high).
Also center the car, like this: Pcmedia.gamespy.com
Amazing work! Nuff said.
I'm guessing this is not in-game. Adding "reflection" to a material in a 3D package isn't the same as adding reflection in the game.
That's looking pretty sweet!
Wish I was able to do that with Adobe AIR (on Android).
Yes that one isn't documented that well. I'm sure there are other tricks like this that adobe just neglected to point out.
You can also change the background color in that line, but I'm sure you knew that already.
It's not a special program it's google sketchup. Free to download and use here: Sketchup.google.com
Your layout is awesome btw lol. The blades look pretty nice!
Simplicity at it's best. Kinda inspires me to try something like this as well. Would be a great scene to get "back into it".
A new engine in mind? Don't start that engine-swinging again! ;)
That's part of the joke :(.
Can we have a beauty render pls?!
Unreal Engine rox! (As does UT3)
Press the first icon you see (the disk one) to save the image and upload that.
Great designs, really loved the "in action" drawing.
It's a pretty radical change from the viking look to the Russian type of soldier look.
The Mortt looks like it's not really agile, once you can flank it. (Looks like needs a lot of time to do a 180°)
Pretty amazing stuff, good work!
Very nice!
And you're screen capture button only works once each day? - you sure use lots of icons...
Sure they could spend a whole lot less.
But is it the actual game demo that gets the attention, or the *naked girls*? If you figure this out you can stop spending money on one or the other but when you don't want to figure it out... spend enough to get both.
For them it makes no difference, it's money they knew would be spend, their share holders know of it. These are calculated *losses*, I'm guessing they would rather lose more money than lose more time in low cost alternatives (like blogging/mouth to mouth/getting in touch with every site etc etc...).
I was going to write a big reply to this but I'll sum it up for you.
*Use the assets that you have*, and a multimilion dollar company has lots of assets and will use it to grab attention.
A new AAA title will get more coverage by having lots of fireworks and *naked girls* at the anouncement than your indie game after 6 months of writing blogs and previews.
It's only natural for you as a (at the moment) *small time* indie developer to be a bit annoyed by all the big boys doing their thing but that's just the way it is. You would probably do the same if you could.
You bought models for your map pack? Nice...
Still no shadows :(. The extra content does make it look pretty cool!
My initial thoughts exactly, but no fear. If your game is half as good as GoW it's still awesome.
Hi, your maps look pretty cool.
But find someone else to proof-read or just write your news posts.
I can understand that English isn't your mother language and it's hard for you to write good sentences, please find someone who can.
In the 3th room on your right, behind the men's toilet. On the -5th floor, at the HQ of Petroglyph.
You said:
Thanks for the tips, I wanna be a mapper, I would be a modeler but I cant draw, and my models would suck
Got the UDK huh? How is that?
My computer can't run it:(
I figured I'll answer here in case you do not check my profile (most likely).
You don't have to be a good 2D artist (drawing...) to be a good modeler. It will surely help, when you've got something down on paper and you can see what u actually have to model. Specially when beginning and you just make it on the go it can go wrong in many different places.
So stick at mapping for now, once you feel pretty good about your maps you can start creating basic assets in 3d (now you also have a goal: assets that will actually be used in your maps).
Motivation is key!
As for the UDK, I'm still learning it. I've got an old but decent computer and I'm running the x64 build it runs pretty smooth. I still have to make something worth showing so maybe it'll break once I get some more complex stuff. I do like it more than Hammer!
Sound good, really looking forward to the next gameplay video.
Even if you add objectives, it wouldn't be any fun if the enemies still ganged up in front of you (or behind you if you're running forward).
If you don't know anything, pick 1 thing and learn about it.
So what will it be?
Mapping? -> Moddb.com
Modeling? -> Moddb.com
Character Design/modeling? -> Moddb.com
Coding? -> Moddb.com
It's obvious Moddb has plenty of tutorials right here already but the internet is full of them. My advice to you:
1 - pick a subject
2 - learn about it
3 - practice it
4 - feel good about your knowledge/skills? Y: goto 1 - N: goto 3
If you have questions you may ask them, maybe I can help (ask them on my profile page or PM)
Looking pretty nice. New graphics helped A LOT.
So you can only have a team of 3? Or is it just when playing soccer.
Could use some more work lol.
Try blocking out the shapes before adding the small details.
Very cute, you've got skills.
Well that sux.
But on the other side, lots of mods or indie games get published on Steam. So why isn't yours? Maye you should send a demo/prototype/full game and artwork/concepts along with your request. That way they can actually see what your game is all about.
If you ever want to try Steam again in the future that is.
Good luck anyways!
That's a nice style! Good work.
Read this: Moddb.com
I agree.
I would love to go on a trip there. Looks like a beautiful place!
(And yes I get the joke)
Isn't there a better, automated way of doing this?
I have not worked with NA but if you make something with LOTS of windows this would be really time consuming...?
No Shadows?
Hi, yes you don't need my permission to use them. That's why I've uploaded them here so everyone can grab them for their own use.
Hope they help.
And you call yourself a gamer?! Go out and discover the classics!
Oh, and if you lose it'll say "You suck!"
I'm really giving a whooping to those angry humans!
You don't like my original story of space invaders? :(
Your Orc seems a bit low poly, has it reached the limit of this "new" engine already?
Calling it 'warcraft 4' might not be a good idea, this would surely be a problem if blizzard ever decides to make one themselves.
Good luck.
I was going to say "wow great demo" but you didn't make it correct?
Unity IS very powerful indeed, I wish you the best of luck.
I would apply for a programming or modeling position but that wont be for the near future.
So until then, good luck!
The video looks sweet, can't wait for the release/updates.
So guess bunny jumping is back! Is it here to stay?
I hope your still making a profit!
Good stuff!
What you shouldn't do: make a video for just text...
What you should do: upload the things you've worked on.
The name is 'OK' I guess...
Read all about it here: Moddb.com
Well, in these sort of games not only does the design have to look good. But the pixel art on the screen as well.
Seeing how the prototype has a almost top-down look.
The 2nd one will have a better chance of staying true to the design and still look good when creating the actual sprite.
Downloading HL1 now, and NS1 when HL is done!
Great stuff, I never played NS1 and find the 'mouth/teeth' view a bit weird. But it's something to get used to I guess.
Looking great so far, good job!
Luxology modo 401. Luxology.com
Lol that was fast, thanks!
Glad to hear you've been working hard on the game itself.
Of course without the tools you can't create the game. But for now the tools should be created in function of the game and not the other way around I think.
A question about how things go in real life: does Bill also UV/texture the models? If so how does he go about doing it, render to texture or hand paint. I have seen the workflow you guys put up before. Like that?
Great models, they look really detailed. Are they low poly models with normals from a high poly version?
Keep it up.
I don't think they have any in-game video's beside that trial racing video.
And don't know about NS2. I was thinking about EYE.
Agreed here, without any actual gameplay or real information about the actual game. How can it win?
It is one of my favorites, but I still don't think they should have won.
"Without any gameplay available Wolfire makes it so easy to award them the best up coming indie game of 2009".
So it, again, comes down to hype? Yes Wolfire sure puts a lot of effort on getting noticed and liked. But does that make *overgrowth* the best indie GAME? No it makes *wolfire* the best indie DEVELOPER/PUBLISHER.
Have these awards ever made sense?
Because if you are an idea guy you will not be able to help the ones that are actually doing all the work.
For instance if I would help you with *your* game. You would only say "yes uhm it would ge great to have a bazooka". That's 5 mins of *thinking* while I still have to:
- model
- unwrap
- texture
- animate
- code
-> That's the problem with idea guys, they think idea's are enough. And can't/won't contribute to the rest of the work.
If however you say you are going to take on other roles like mapping/coding/texturing/... the guys will not be "nay" sayers.
They really did a great job with the environment.
A few different angles to help get a better view of the model so I/we can give you a better comment on it.
This 'angle' (the angle of the camera when taking the render) alone isn't enough.
So you guys do get trouble staying 'pumped'.
It's not a wanabe-problem, glad to hear that lol.
Good job on the comic.
This is looking really cool. You guys are really trying to get this done.
Amazing concepts.
BMS is getting old, at this rate they will release when Valve closes it's books on the half life world (ep3 release).
So I can see where he's coming from. And all this 'we will release' and then 'oeps, not really but we WILL release' talk is just stupid. better to say nothing at all.
Nice new logo and wallpapers!
Why would they. It's not because they are indies that 'you' should rip them off.
It's a very nice pack, I've been thinking here is my question.
Will the key be locked to my e-mail address? Following this: will my NS2 black armor suite be unlocked whenever I enter my key? Or for online play will I have to use my e-mail?
Hey! Looks like you could delete a few loops there!
But it's looking nice! Some different angles would help judge the model.
Really nice drawing! If you could have made yourself look more 'drawn' it would be even better.
Nice job!
Go to your environments tab and change the ambient color and brightness a bit. this should brighten your models. But of course the problem is in your textures and lack of lightning (probably the last one more than the first).
The guns look nice, good job so far.
Really nice 2D lights there! But the red one does spill through the walls (unlike every other light)
True, but that chance is very much smaller than the other one.
Also the ID project will have a much earlier release (DEMO) so I actually get the feeling that it's going to happen, even if it's not in the end.
I have limited amount of time to spare on other people's projects. I want to put it in one that will make the most out of it.
Might want to elaborate about the new features that are so cool for you but not for the actual CS2D game?
The game looks very cool.
You had to license the software and you could chose to either select the pro 30 day free trial or the free license. You must have selected the wrong option. No worries I think the pro features just turn off after 30 days and you're left with the normal free license.
thanks man!
Nice optimized stuff!
The amount of lives is a good idea, but with a twist.
There are 20 players, so there are 20 lives, people are ranked by dead/living. If every player dies the team loses, if not the team can still win if the 1 player that is left can kill everyone else from the other team.
This eliminates the problem of noobs getting killed too often so the lives drop by just 1 person.
Maybe you were thinking of this all the time...
Again, nice modeling.
Why not? GoW and Unreal are NOT the same games.
That's like saying that valve should let us play mods for HL2 just because we've got CSS installed...
The mod looks a bit too hectic for me.
Very nice. Keep it up.
Much better than what I did.
This is the part-baked petit pain I am about to eat for my lunch. I have to say that I'm looking forward to it. The above is what 90% of people use Twitter for, and they need to STFU in my opinion.
Amen to that. Less pollution of the INTERNET please!
Then you should have removed the smoothing completely because things like don't do you guys or the model any justice.
But still a good model!
practice makes perfect... I've got a lot of practicing to go :).
So fast?
why upload "bad" stuff?
Less white easy in/out and more weapon. Do a simple turntable (rotate 180* around the model) or something.
You're much better than I thought when I first met you.
Being burned out well... I think it's a matter of having a healthy lifestyle.
I don't know the first thing about you so I'm just telling you this from personal experience, and just common sense.
Go to bed and get up at the same time everyday and you'll start to feel more energetic after each passing day. Have some morning ritual so your body knows it has to wake up. When I'm burned out or just passive all day it's mostly because I had a bad time getting up and my body just wants to keep sleeping.
I hope this helps.
This game really looks awesome. keep it up and I'll probably buy it.
Well then let me tell you that I think a lot of people also don't appreciate it so much as a lot of people do haha :D.
You're a good guy but you jump on everything, hope it doesn't hit you in the back someday. It sure did that with me a few times.
All I see is... an amazing laptop...
*wishes my classmates looked like yours*
Nice character, looks a bit stiff in the upper body but that might just be because of the armor.
Great stuff.
Wow, great style. The camera effect really pulled it off!
Nice looking model, very good texture. (256*256)
Talking about copyrighted music on your videos on youtube? I'd say replace the music and reupload it, just a matter of time before they mute your videos.
In any case, stay away from music that is protected and you'll have no problems. So from now on only use "approved" music (free or not from warner/universal music).
Good work, but I feel it's very much smaller then the original. I remember myself crossing the rodes and it would take me a few moments as now I'm at the T spawn in 3 seconds or something.
Not really a good example at creating a decent model, I think.
You don't use reference planes or anything?
That's a nice wallpaper!
So where's the gun? :D
Good job, looks a tad high poly for a mag but maybe you're just good with smoothing groups!
Nice logo's. Good job.
"sorry for the crap brush work but i rushed this" I did not test this map. And after reading this I won't.
Why share stuff you are not proud of?
I wasn't asking for more models, I was asking for quality news. Like metalspy, only I asked it in a not so to the point way. My fault.
The title of these news post is "daily" so I thought you gave us news, each day...
It's good that you try to prove to us that you can do things. But speed isn't everything, you have a strange way of modeling and it feels wrong.
Because u try to do it too fast, the models you create during speed sessions will take a lot fixing if you were to use them in game (proper animations etc).
Well that's how I feel when just watching your speed sessions. Also, doing speed sessions does not mean to change the video speed.
It's about setting a short timeframe and doing as much as you can in that timeframe.
Can you show me some video's showing the true quality of the mod/models, and not just at what pace you created them, tomorrow?
I think you overdid the extrusions :p.
But overal good model for a beginner.
Next time start from a concept so you know what you have to do. Or did you start from a concept?
I'll model some stuff or you!
I'm glad it doesn't look like doom or quake!
It looks really cool.
haha, cute :p
Nice work! Love the smoothness of the model.
I'm not sure wether this one is also copied (as mentioned on the other aircraft concept) but this is a pretty good drawing!
Now draw the reference images and modeling shouldn't take too long.

KILMEADE KONDENSED: (AUDIO) MICHAEL KAY, former UK Ministry of Defense Advisor on Missing Plane; (AUDIO) Former CIA Operative WAYNE SIMMONS: State Sponsored Attack
New York Post Columnist MICHAEL GOODWIN explained that if we don't stand up and fight the Russians with strong economic sanctions, Putin will feel that he has free reign to do whatever he wants with Eastern European nations. Michael went on to say that once again President Obama has misread the world and the bad guys are erupting everywhere and are not afraid of anyone. We need to have peace through strength and not weakness.
Former UK Ministry of Defense Advisor MICHAEL KAY called with some possibilities of what could have happened to the missing Malaysian airliner. Michael explained that you have to look into the pilot and co-pilot because without any physical wreck you have to make it a criminal investigation. Michael also elaborated why he believes the airplane will be found in the Indian Ocean.
Audio clip:
Former CIA Operative WAYNE SIMMONS expressed his belief that for a 777 to disappear it has to be a sophisticated state sponsored attack and done by people with special black-ops training. It is the biggest most sophisticated piece of equipment and it's just gone, so this had to be well planned and thought out. On the crisis in the Crimea he explained that the sad truth is that the United States will not do anything and we are being laughed at. Wayne explained that because Obama has shown nothing but weakness, and every country in the world will continue to take pot shots at the U.S. and we won't do anything.
Audio clip:
Faith & Freedom Coalition Founder & Chairman RALPH REED called to talk about his new book Awakening: How America Can Turn from Moral and Economic Destruction Back to Greatness and if the mid-term elections will turn the country around.

Fox's Chief Washington Correspondent JAMES ROSEN looked into the Ukrainian crisis and explained that the sanctions levied against Russia will not bother them at all. Concerning the European Union, James Rosen expressed his belief that because of their dependency to Russian natural gas they will not make any substantial sanctions against them.

Richard Brasher, head of Tesco Plc's U.K. and Ireland business, may leave the company this year after 25 years, Sky News reported, without saying where it got the information. His departure could be announced in a statement to the stock exchange as soon as tomorrow, Sky said.
Pick n Pay Stores Ltd. rallied the most in five years after South Africa's second-biggest grocer said first-half profit climbed as it reduced costs, added new stores and its market share decline slowed.
Tesco Plc said the head of its biggest unit, Richard Brasher, will step down from the board and leave the company in July after the U.K.'s largest supermarket chain saw market share slide to seven-year low.
Pick n Pay Stores Ltd., South Africa's second-biggest grocer, plans to increase fresh produce sales and gain market share as it opens about 100 new stores in the next 12 months.
Tesco Plc, the U.K.'s biggest retailer, said it will cut the prices of 1,000 products for the Christmas season as it steps up a campaign to gain shoppers struggling to contend with dwindling household incomes.
"We are not crossing the street for a fight."

You should try out different offensive items on Vi. I find she does REALLY well with Cleaver or BT rather than Triforce.
sylverfyre, I'd finish zephyr before building warmog's on Irelia. The attack speed, movement speed, CDR, and tenacity are all amazing on her, way better than just raw health, especially if you're already got the giant's belt.

@Irelia Carries U
Well you're definitely a lot better than I am, so I don't think I can give you any advice really lol. I do agree with you on the wit's end matter though. I don't play Irelia, but I do like building wit's end on certain tanky top characters, and I think wit's end definitely works well for Irelia.

You and Your Research. Transcription of the Bell Communications Research Colloquium Seminar 7 March 1986 J.
Robotics. Deri. AGU. American Geophysical Union. Earth - Oceans - Atmosphere - S. Accuracy and precision. Accuracy is the proximity of measurement results to the true value; precision, the repeatability, or reproducibility of the measurement A measurement system can be accurate but not precise, precise but not accurate, neither, or both.
For example, if an experiment contains a systematic error, then increasing the sample size generally increases precision but does not improve accuracy. The result would be a consistent yet inaccurate string of results from the flawed experiment. Eliminating the systematic error improves accuracy but does not change precision. A measurement system is considered valid if it is both accurate and precise. Nature Publishing Group : science journals, jobs, and informatio. GFZ. EIT ICT LABS. Welcome to the Scopus Support Site.

You do want to dry the air. Any moisture that gets out to the controls would be a bigger headache than what you're dealing with now.

I'd say I'm a Scotch beginner as well but I've found I really like 12 year Glenfidich. When it comes to Bourbon, Woodford Reserve beats everything I've tried hands down.
"The ordinary world is only the foam on top of the real world." Tom Robbins (B is for Beer)
"It's a beautiful day for baseball. Let's play two." Ernie Banks
Start out with a six pack of beer. Then its a bit more tolerable.
Sorry to not add anything productive. I have tried for years to develope a taste for scotch. I just cannot adjust to it.
You might try finding a bar that stocks a good selection and has bartender(s) knowledgable about what's available, and getting on friendly terms with them. Even if you are paying more on a per-shot basis you're still saving money if the goal is to get a broader understanding of what's out there.
Start looking into bourbon. $30 is just a bad price point for Scotch in my opinion. If you are willing to spend look into Scotch. Otherwise, some really good bourbons can be had for a much lower price.
I just started to experiment with scotch. I really dig the very peaty stuff. Although one of my favorite ways to have scotch, which will surely make any scotch snob cringe, is 2 parts scotch, 2 parts freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, 1 part simple syrup. Shaken and served over ice.
