I've been a CG artist for 6 years now. I've seen the best works from the best artist, and all I can say is I HATE Doom3's lighting engine. Technically speaking it's a breakthrough, but as far as realistic lighting, it sucks.
Unreal3's however, looks most impressive. Soft shadows that react...
ummm...ravenholm is self explainitory...
it's a mineing town, there are shells everywhere, and zombies everywhere...
not that hard to figure out.
whether or not people from City17 fled there or not is open to debate AFAIK, but I may have missed something. The fact that there was a...
heh, DOG ROCKS!!
and LOL At Lamar and Dog! I can just picture it...in fact....hmmm...
I just got an idea for a new comic strip, "Lamar and DOG" Simuler to Rita and Runt from Animaniacs. :D
new = gameplay important physics and facial animation.
The rest is refining what everyone else did, and doing it ALOT better.
HL1 started the true FPS genre, after that, everything that can be done has been done. So Valve has taken all the stuff thats been done and refined it. Taken it all...
WHEEE!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! :D
Can't wait to see this one. :D
(Having been part of mod teams in the past, I know it's ALOT of work. Just a thanks in advance!)
I have one question...
will I need HL source to play Black Mesa Source?
Since your changing everything, I think we should be able to just load it up so long as we have HL2 installed...make it a HL2 mod...
I'm stuck away from my PC for awhile...on my Moms PC...powerful enough for HL1 at low res...
Even HL1 is hard to play now without physics...I mean, rounded corner, had barrel and zombie. I just wanted to grab that barrel and slam it into the zombie...
no can do. :(
Come on Black Mesa...
one of my main irks with Doom3?
military facility, and it's BLOODY DARK!!! WTF?
Ever been to a military facility? It's well lit. Even submarines are VERY well lit. (Trust me, I've been in one) Research facilities are even better lit.
Add to that the insanely low polycounts on everything...
The aliens tell you why they are on your side if you bother to talk to them.
We learn all about what happens in the interem between HL1 and HL2. Add in Op Force and you know EXACTLY what happens between the two.
Headcrabs? Self explanitory.
Whats to know about the combine? The only sorta...
good luck guys, I REALLY REALLY REALLY am looking forward to this.
Take your time, and do it WELL. :D I mean, the new barnacles looked SWEET in HL2, I want the same feeling from the bullsquids, and the gonarch, and the soldiers, etc...make this a GOOD update, not a quick one. :D
