Played with the the bowler hat model a bit more today and I think I've got a pretty good workflow setup now. I'm getting alot better and making low poly geometry that supports normals well.

Should look fine in thirdperson camera.
Hey, lemme see a wireframe, ok? PM it to me if you dont want the world to see your model naked, or something.
Aint nothing wrong with a little nudity
Mmmm, look at that sexy jpeg compression.

yeah, your brim doesnt need to be so around. I'd also take out at least one of the loops around the top. Smoothing out your normals should make that look round enough.
Otherwise, good work. Nice and clean. you're using every single polygon that you have in there, so good stuff.
So is the raptor going to be wearing a full suit that's been raptor-tailored, or is it just gonna have a necktie on, with that and whatever wig/moustache/accessories it has being its only disguise?
This is a dumb question but my textures just don't seem to show up ever in UDK. I can get the stuff to work fine with SDK but when something's textured in UDK (i.e a 1024x1024x32 floor tile), it only likes to show the texture on one or two sides and wireframe the rest.

Make me less dumb please.
Are you sure you only have one map on the object that you're texturing?

99% sure. It's even texturing the bottom of the block, but the top remains wiry and skinny.
Having just perused over the toolset, and especially the UnrealScript system, I'm blown away by just how excellent this thing is. It makes me want to dive in and start making stuff like no other SDK has.
Mi sueño de otros, aparte de hacer un juego de rol táctico, es hacer un estilo de sombra Complejo "2.5D" Metroidvania-RPG de acción de plataformas. Al igual que Metroid, con el visto aquí, encontrar esta actualización, pero cada actualización abre nuevas habilidades que usted puede comprar al subir de nivel (creo Sinfónica de la noche aquí, pero con más énfasis en la parte RPG del mismo ).... y putas botín. Lotes, y un montón de putas botín, con un botín de azar. Y todo el juego debe ser al azar, porque 2.5D los niveles razonablemente fácil escribir una aleatoriedad para.
My dream of others, apart from making a tactical role-playing game is to make a shadow style Residence "2.5D" Metroidvania-platform action RPG. Like Metroid, with the agreement here, find this update, but every update creates new skills you can buy while leveling (I Orchestra of the night here, but with more emphasis on the RPG part of it) ... . and loot whores. Lots and lots of loot whores, with a random loot. And everyone should be random game because 2.5D levels are reasonably easy to write randomness.
Odd, the signature screams "spammer" but the content's legit. And a good idea. A procedual Metroidvania? I'd play it.
Is Velociraptor Job Interview Simulator Pro going to have a "hard mode" where the protagonist is the size of a real velociraptor, as opposed to a Jurassic Park velociraptor? In reality they were about the size of a chicken. Not as imposing, but you could hide under a desk and give somebody's legs a good chewing.

Eerie similarity there.
That's beyond eerie. What the fuck did you find, my spanish speaking doppelganger?

No wait, seriously. Someone had to have taken my text, translated to Spanish, then translated it back. It's the same fucking text. Someone is pulling my chain.

Approximate order of events (the first two are interchangeable due to uncertainty):
GnomeTank expresses game design ideal -> Spammer comes up with novel way of "stealth" spamming involving machine translation -> random spanish post pops up on forum with inauspicious signature -> Kris runs it through Google Translate -> the similarity to GnomeTanks's original post is noted and pointed out -> spam post is nuked by Echo.
I believe it was one of the admins that posted a notice a couple weeks back that spammers were starting to do this.
Basically, they're spamming through sigs, masking their spamming by trying to present themselves as legitimate posters with legitimate content. The content is stolen procedurally, by either copying and translating/doubletranslating an original random post from the same thread, or from another thread. The creepy part is that some of them seem to be cross-forum. I remember there was one people weren't sure of, because it was *so* on-topic -- like, it was talking about Crysis in a Crysis thread, and it wasn't obviously copied from somewhere else in the thread, but it was a little 'off' in its form, it was disjointed from what everyone else in the thread was saying --- someone ran the text through google, and it turns out the bot had intelligently copied it from a [H]ardOCP thread about Crysis.

Yah, that is uhh, creepy as fuck. But what's the point of the spam? There had to be some sort of advertisement in there right? I mean, if it was just a re-copy of my post, what's the point?

This particular one was spamming for debt counselling or something. I wasn't paying that much attention.
Personally, I think it's fun; a nice memetic arms-race to see if we cant evolve better interneteers by eliminating the weak (both of spambots and of people whoo click on spam-links and subsequently have no money). Maybe we'll even get spambots that are genuinely indistinguishable from regular humans, except that they always seem to know of a neat offer related to the topic at hand....

Soon there will be forums populated only by spambots copying posts from other forums, and then a bot will travel back through time to find a software developer that will save the internet for ever.

The graphics in that look dated as hell, but the video is very well put together, haha. I like the WW2 propaganda film style.
Well it's a Source mod, and lest we forget, the Source engine is 5 years old. I think LaCabra and co's project has the edge in looks. And raptors with office supplies.

If I had the skills I would create a song composed entirely of windows acknowledge and error sounds, for the obvious IT department stage.
Additionally:
If I had the skills / time I would port Unreal 1 to U3 engine and update the assets and levels :P - same for UT (this would be a "dream come true")
*sigh* alas, it will never be.
Do this. Do this now!
