He's staying bald I'm afraid as that just suits him a lot better. Plus Max hair is a no go when you're doing anything to game related......if I had done any I would of used a load of planes on the head with individual textures and alphas. I ended up texturing the head, but doesn't really add too much to what's shown above, so I won't post another image at all. Jamba - Got some good stuff there. How long time wise are some of them models taking to just model geometry wise, as I'm just wondering? Summers here, so will be working on little bits and pieces......although mostly environmental stuff and getting my texturing and unwrapping skills up. Worn down burger bar. Really am quite pleased with the result of what I've got there. It's not finished, but I've kinda screwed up my .psd file, so texturing is becoming a bit of a mess..............so will be leaving it as it is now. Poly count is around 900.

It's good stuff. Tesco sell it I believe.

mike-zim turning gay confirmed.

I smoke, but will be attempting to give up from 1st July as my evenings out in clubs/pubs will be torture to me. If that doesn't happen, then I'll most likely cut down how often I go out. So this is the quarterly 'smoking's disgusting thread' then!

Will be exactly the same as what Shorty said, just that most places pricing on .com's is slightly more than your .co.uk's and .net's.

Sounds like you need this.

As in both those titles also have free versions available, but it doesn't stop them becoming big sellers on both PSN and Live.

Flash version of Flow and Geometry Wars rip offs say hi.

Do we actually need anymore from our browsers now though? Firefox just looks more functional to me for some reason, and the whole extensions things means you can pick and choose what you would really want added to it overall.

I agree that this is what you should change as well. Everything else is looking good. Yeh, should be able to get all that, and a quad core maybe for $700.

Totally agree.....and that was exactly what a lot of people thought a while ago. The 'new rules' that have been apparently made up just won't work. But then again, you can't have a 'half a spam thread'............so it's got to be full wack like it is now or gone all together.

Nark off, not going to add you mate, and you didn't need to PM me your code. Wii online sucks at the mo, so no point using it currently.

Thread resurrect......nice one guys. kellett - Did that model a while ago now, was just edge looping practice which we were set for characters. Just finished up our final assignments today (finally), and one was another character assignment. There was the option of Zbrushing up a normal map and then applying it, but I kind of got lazy, and didn't have much time left. My character is below. Managed to unwrap and texture it between the hours of 4am and 9am this morning. Was my first proper character unwrap as well, so fairly pleased with the rushed result. I screwed up the unwrap on the head, so that's why its got no texture there.....although may sort it at some point. Still not had any sleep yet. Jamba - You're at Tees right? You know a dude called Ashley at all? Think I mentioned him to ya before.....although not 100% sure on what part of the Tees course he is on.

Great news to see Beckham recalled. And I've just noticed............no Hargreaves? Is he injured or something? Get rid of fat Frank I say.

Hopefully this final fantasy will actually be fun. Looks really good visually, and has that Skies of Arcadia vibe, which is definitely a good thing.

I've pretty much become nocturnal over the last two weeks or so. Currently up now working on coursework which we need for lectures tomorrow......although I'm guessing the lecture will be an open-workshop sort of morning. So making an animatic based around a WWII game level which I've made. Currently building a really basic WWII bomber plane.

To be honest there is no reason why I should use spoiler tags, as the thread says it's full of spoilers anyway. Might discuss the episodes openly later then, and it's tough luck if any fool walks into this thread when they fancy a read.

I've watched it all..................and OMFG..........

I can't see Owen leaving Newcastle over the summer at all tbh. Liverpool were really unlucky tonight.....but overall a fair result.

They should be instead trying to make some decent music. Down In Albion is absolutely terrible. Got weird sleep patterns at the mo, and have only woken up about 2 hrs ago after falling asleep this afternoon............so not really up for drinking any beer while I watch the football. Should be a great match hopefully.

Well it'll be able to do everything you listed there, so it's no better or worse from what you're saying. (except for the whole Ctrl+T thing if that's actually true).

Sounds pretty normal to me. Stuff like that used to go on everyday at my old school.

I think High Velocity Bowling may have just tipped me over to go out and purchase a PS3.

Like I said before, I'm currently running it on a Pentium D @ 2.6, 2GB Ram @667, and a 7600GT. Will prob overclock to 3.6 this evening and see if it changes anything framerate wise. The game runs fine when I drop some of the settings down, but when they are nearer the higher end I get a lot of stuttering. I've decided to wait out for quad cores to come down in September, and the next line of DX10 cards to come out at the mo.

Sorry, my mistake. Been playing the demo for the last hour or so, and it's damn excellent, and how a PC demo should be made. Definitely enough in it as well to keep you occupied for a while. Game visually is amazing as well. Loving the explosions, the snow, and all that motion blur. I had a little go on it months back on the 360 and thought highly of it then. So are we all touting this as the most demanding PC game currently out there then?
