Hey guys...some new guns from my fantastic weapons artist - This makes 49 / 51 completed.

I'm working towards a point where I can start showing some more in-game stuff again...the game is in pieces now though.

I'm juggling 10 different programming tasks, but as far as the amount of time until BETA I've got all the remaining items on a single piece of notebook paper...and 25% has already been completed.


M249 - This is probably the coolest looking gun in the game, he really did a great job detailing it.

* I'm having some work done on this one, I think the handle looks too 'clean', I'd like to see some dirt / dings/etc on it, maybe make it look more faded, and it will be solid.






Now for some personal stuff...recently my car engine starting knocking. It's a '02 Celica w/ 72k miles on it...I got it new, and put about $5,000 into it, on a RMM body kit, TRD racing exhaust, stereo work, etc. etc. Anyways it knocks bad over 3000 RPM and the dealership said it's basically not worth replacing the engine for $5000... bah.

So I had to pick a new ride :-D

I was checking out the BMW Z3, Benz SLK, and the Porsche Boxster...I wanted a nice little convertible, manual transmission roadster to tear around in. Specifically a luxury german roadster.

Ended up going w/the Porsche...it's really a great car. I put about 300 miles on it in 2 days lol...now I have to get back to business heheh.

It's hard tho because I could ride around in it all day...but mostly I park it in the garage and just stare at it, and wipe it with a diaper.

Here are a couple of pictures of it...got those 18" racing wheels on it, black, low mileage, they only put 5k miles a year on it...the car is showroom quality. The engine is orgasmic above 4000 RPMs, since the car is a mid-engine rrear drive, the engine is right behind you and you can really hear it well, it's like a symphony.









It's a great car, I highly recommend picking one up, if you have the means lol.

* Actually the car is for game research, to uh...learn how...uh...2 seat converibles handle... yea. *mumbles something about physics then jumps in car and drives away*

The last car screenshot looks good. All the previous ones, the reflections look terrible :)

I agree..also LOD on first 2 screenshot is way too aggressive..I can see popping artifact even on a statich screenshot :-)

Nice ride, congrats.

I hope I'm not being overly critical, but I think the bullets for the M249 don't look quite right. Too shiny, or something.

Hey, I did not generate the renders of the weapons. I assume my artist only used a simple shader n dot l w/normal mapping and modulating the specular w/ the specular map, and then taking into account the color texture.

I add the reflectivity mask myself into the alpha channel of the specular map, so in-game there can be reflections on the guns/bullets or whatever to make it look more realistic.

Also those renders are w/out shadows or HDR lighting.

Am I missing something or it's common in USA to see 23 years old with freaking porsches. Oh well..

Btw those weapons are looking sweet.
