Ok! Apparently I am destined to never finish this project. My break between jobs was shorter than I was expecting. Got a 3-month contract for more hard surface work, so that means no more free time. Off I go into the land of Zbrush again...

Holy... That is incredibly awesome, but the thought of building an animation rig for that is terrifying. I had thought about going the route of realism, but wasn't sure how much I should stray from the original design, since it defies realism. Among other things, the original design offers no ...

Can you clarify what you mean by 'output side'? As in what do I have planned for the actual exhaust visuals, or still geometry-wise? For the engine/coolant details, I was mostly grabbing from jet engine references both realistic and sci-fi. Trying to find an even balance between cleanliness, random ...

So a little over a year later, and I'm FINALLY getting back to it. I've been concentrating a lot on hard surface modeling, and decided it was time to revisit this and crunch on it between gigs. Detailed the engines yesterday and moving onto the body. http://o3visuals.com/files/pyro_LH/engine_1.jpg ...

Just a heads up, I haven't forgotten about this project. I have just been completely swamped at work. Busy building assets for multiple games, barely able to find time for personal projects, but I will try. My friend pATChes (does he still post on these forums?) suggested that I use a 3D printer and ...

Thanks, much appreciated

Will have to put this on hold until next week. Crunch time here. Pulling a 100+ hour week =/

Actually, 3dsmax 2012 does a very good job at running many polys in the viewport and still keep a smooth frame rate. One of the organic modelers I work with handed me a 60mil poly sculpt from zbrush to animate and max ran like a champ with a steady 48fps (albeit the card in my work machine is a ...

Alright, according to my post history, I haven't visited these forums since 2004, yet Descent still retains a large chunk for my love of video games. Over the years since 2004, I went from sound design, to programming, and eventually landed on 3D animation and hardsurface modeling, and actually have ...

hahaha no problem.

Funny you should mention this. I myself stumbled(well, more like re-stumbled) upon the dbb a day or two ago after a 2-year hiatus. I still remember most everyone here (Cougar, Vertigo, Vertigo99, pATCheS, Mr Perfect prominently). But yes, it is good to know the Descent community is still there. And ...

theres gotta be a place that sells this stuff year-round

I find that eggnog and capm crunch is insatiable.

Story-based Singleplayer: Deus Ex Action-based Singleplayer: Descent 1 Overall Multiplayer: Any UT I noticed alot of descent players have taken a liking to UT2004. I unfortunatly had the priveldge of having my ass handed to me on a silver plater garnished with hundred dollar bills by none other than ...

silly political madness...

I have 3 invites left. Was considering sending them to a microsoft CSR email addy just for kicks... but i figured i should better use them to serve the Descent community instead. just send me a line at agent4054@gmail.com if you want one. ...yow... haven't posted on here in over a year. edit: make ...
