There's a script for max that sets up the "dome" for you to get soft shadows. http://home.wanadoo.nl/r.j.o/skyraider/e-light.htm

Wow it actually sounds pretty professional, really catchy too.

Scotland drew 0:0, that's like a win for us!!! Party time!

Just did these in 5 mins or so:






They look better with a 1 pixel wide black border too.

Wow, i LIVE in Edinburgh.

Trapezoid, you see that song "Nothin'" that you're listening to, is that the one by Townes Van Zandt?

I like ALL the animations. Good job.

General Discussion:
Feel free to talk about anything and everything in this board.

I like it. The only thing i don't like is that the bushes kinda look like green puddles of acid or something depending on how you look at them, try and make them more 3D. Good work!

I tried to unbutchen him for the front and back view:

Yes i took the face and the feet (so it's easier to line up the walkcycle)  from BASS and his walkcycle will also be based on it. Speaking of the walkcycle i just added a few frames to the image and took away the highlights from his front view. I don't think the walking views look all that great so i'll probably start again, he looks a little too butch and the shading's messed up, it's pretty hard to do .



I'll try and fix some more of the stuff you guys have suggested.

EDIT: Here's the BASS walkcylce by the way - http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=7687;start=0
4th post down i think.

It's funny, if you look at a "canned games" section of ANY PC magazine this game ALWAYS makes it. It would've been cool if they'd finished it.

Yeah the images will only be up 12 hours per day unfortunately so i just uploaded one here which you should be able to see all the time:

I got the legs from this pic:

Based on the lead singer of Pearl Jam


Added some more shading to make shirt more 3d:


He's for a 320x200 res by the way.

I wouldn't worry too much about annoying noobs coming from this. PCPlus is generally read by more mature people, it's not just one of those pc gaming mags. Sure you'll get noobs, but not annoying ones

Hmm i'm gonna buy PCPlus tomorrow then

MachineElf (TAFKAV), are you making fun of Nellie?

And AGA is right, Revolution is of Broken Sword fame, shame on you for not knowing!

He's not making fun of Nellie, that's what the text is like in BASS. You see, every character has tourette's syndrome and feel the need to SHOUT every few words or so. Strange.

Ahh, try Pessi's way first, probably works better!

[Colours>>Posterize]

I think the POSTERIZE effect is exactly what you'll be needing, so basically you want a gradient without the thousandsssss of colours.

Do a gradient somewhere, select it then go to Colours>>Posterize then change the Levels value to around 6 or whatever looks ok. Hopefully this is what you wanted.
