I was bored... It's not that great an animation really

why is this another thread? why didn't you post this in your original thread about the wacom?

can you do me a favour? it's really simple and it will differentiate you from all the other exclusives at E3...

Don't... Talk about the booth girls...

That's the only request I make... Good luck

I don't think CJ has made it so overlays take advantage of the alpha channel

I liked this guy

and by like i mean HOLY SHIT!

oh yea, hey, i still don't really know what you mean by the percentages, do you mean so that the stars are mostly passing by and the camera isn't really traveling through them?

I CHOOSE YOU...

try the 30 day trial of HiDownload, i was able to rip a few movies off the ol' internet and it worked really well

For a post that isn't sarcastic, it's surprisingly full of sarcasm.

Why do you keep saying that word? I do not think it means what you think it means.

if you think the "Hooray!" parts are me being sarcastic then you're wrong... or the comments on shut it all down... I was making jokes [and trying to make a veiled reference to Ghost Busters]. Keeping it light. I said bee's knees for floopsake!

but whatever... It's like you see sarcasm in everyone's posts but do you see the personal jabs you took at pesty? bet you don't.

I'm not arguing black and white, I don't care if she pirates, I'm just pissed that you guys are talking down a worthy open-source project that I've had great results with. It's always the same crap too, "Bad interface, it doesn't have this or this.." and usually the problem is with the user and not the application.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't be forcing this on but I just have to ask... So... Freakin'... What?

Is Geoffkahn's [cause Pete said NOTHING bad about Blender] opinion something that thousands of people listen to? Is there a huge community of people who use Blender now totally sad because Geoffkahn doesn't like the interface and chooses not to use the program? Are the creators giving up? "That's it, some guy somewhere said he hated it... Shut this down... Shut this all down..."

Again, you love the program Hooray! Thousands of people love the program Hooray! Thousands of people hate the program, So what?! Some people hate photoshop which I think is the bee's knees, it's absolutely fabulous for sprite art and animation and it doesn't matter if people hate it...

I'm not being sarcastic or snotty so don't read it that way, por favor...

And also, I'm sure there are many companies that will train you in programs you don't know if your portfolio is strong and they feel the effort is worth it, when representatives from LucasArts came to my school [which is a very respected art school and had some really crappy computer courses, so yes Pesty, school isn't always the best place to learn things] they said they would train someone if their work was strong. But anyway...

Yufster: If you want to learn 3d studio max, read the help file and the tutorials. They aren't the best tutorials but the help file is great. Then I really think you should find a way to download movie tutorials because they help so so much.

I think your first animation is better than the others because there would need to be more movement for it to look good with the foot step, so I'd stick with that.

I was bored so I made this little animation maybe just to kick start your animation for later animations [if he shoots his gun all the time this animation I made probably wouldn't be the best choice cause it's so dramatic]

not to be a meany or anything but when it comes to the demo game I think teaching people how to use AGS is more important than a ton of new jokes and a story.

I mean, how are you going to be teaching people how to use AGS? That is what I'm interested in and it doesn't seem like you've spoken on it at all. So care to elaborate?

or I'd sugget a greenboard and not a blackboard

if you have a little option to tick before loading like "Remind me what's going on again, please." then it shows the little cutscene i'd be happier with it.

but isn't Geoffkahn the only one who said the blender interface is trash? I think he's entitled to his opinion just like you are for yours. If his first impression of Blender was "This sucks" than isn't that fine? It shouldn't make your experience of Blender any worse. My first impression of Blender was "What the hell is going on here?" and i deleted it in probably 10 minutes. That's no slight to the good work they're doing at Blender, I've just put more work into learning 3dstudio Max and I don't want to learn an entirely new interface. The same reason I don't try out any of the other free programs.

and pesty didn't say anything bad about Blender as far as I can see...

bah, anyway

by dynamics and simulating cloth he means assigning mass to objects and creating a scene where the objects interact through a physical simulation moving and rolling and bouncing and deforming like cloth

by hi res i mean useable in 16 bit to take advantage of transparency but what would probably slow down the majority of ags users

but mmmmmm, i loves me some particles

for all your evil overlord needs

i built an archers first and converted like 15 guys to archery, then a manapool and got as many wizards it takes to get all 3 spells [instant kill works well on the first giants] and then i got the carpenters [they work automatically repairing your castle if it's damaged] all the while upgrading my castle walls a little here and there

i never used suicide bombers only for fun

to keep your archers you need to have a higher kill count than your castle upkeep at the end of a game or they get cut back

So i set up a little test trying to change the fire seed object while the fire is burning and it doesn't seem to work [just messing around seeing if fire growing or spreading or a fuse or something would work]

i was able to change the fire strength dynamically so that was cool

actually modifying the strenth doesn't do much, if i set it to 0 there's still quite a bit of fire left

but otherwise it's still pretty awesome, what i've always wanted is a hires particle system... oh imagine the smoke you could make with that
