Broadband in australia did hit some really nasty periods when the two largest providers suddenly switched from virtually unlimited to 3gb's fortunately there is now light at the end of the tunnel with isps like iinet and *some* of the new unlimited isp's that are actually working to a reasonable...

99$ australian is probably about 65$ us. Anyway i would not worry about game stores just yet they never have any idea till just a few days before they get it, till then they will just make stuff up. Even if they dont have it on the actual release day they will have it no more than a few days...

A simple question i put to gabe and he replied almost instantly :). Looks like our mods will work with all future valve source releases, of course i never expected anything less from them but its good to know. Whats more interesting is it looks like all updates they do to the source engine to...

I dont know which benchmarks you guys are looking at but the latest ones on toms hardware clearly show the fx5900ultra to be the fastest card on the market. That said personaly i would buy the radeon 9800 as it is much better value for money.

Ive actually cut it all the way down to 1451triangles now. But im not sure if i should make it less Blocky as some people put it as it would become untrue to the actual micro uzi which is.. blocky

Ok perhaps this is not very feasible but we all saw the tech demo with the camera and the screen. Since the technology is already there could'nt you just code it so that when you shoot the wall it creates a small circle shaped entitiy that shows what a camera is seeing and have the camera(tiny...

Although im guessing here i imagine that the source engine most likely does have splashes and ripples when you shoot it (we have no evidence to the contrary?) and there is a good chance it has the same with gordons body. The movie doesent show this when he falls in but we have to take into...

Nice models, Only thing i could find at fault is the handles seem a little square on the first 2 guns, if they where rounded more it might look a little better, or a little worse, but it might be worth looking at. The p90 is looking good so far.

Yeah i had already tried changing the color before i uploaded it but because the wireframe is grey all colors but black it seemed to be harder to see. Ive just tried white and it seems a bit better so i uploaded that instead.

Enjoy, The model has a total of 1873 triangles (i included a wireframe since so many people like to see them)

In regards to greys post just so everyone knows by default in edit poly mode 3ds Max will not give you a polycount in triangles only in quads or infact whatever size polygons you have. If you want to see your polygon count in triangles turn it into an edit mesh or apply a turn to poly modifier...

Yeah im taking a quick break from this gun while i model an uzi to get a better feel for this kind of weapon :)

I have changed it to instead have a clip inside the handle like a pistol Im not sure if it looks better or worse so any opinions would be good. Ohh and ignore the coloring on it i was just playing around trying to get a feel for its color theme.

I think its all relative, for me games like quake1 and doom are still impressive because i played them the day they where released sure they are very dated nowadays but i dont consider them bad. However someone who is new to the gaming scene would look at them and say they are crap. I think it...

Perhaps i missed something here? but the aliens are from mars a (as far as we know)dry planet yeah they live in water? Other than that i like the idea :) good luck

I would say an xp3200+ is closer to a 2.4ghz p4 in performance then a 2.8ghz. However the AMD chips are cheaper and in terms of reliability they seem to be just as good as a p4. I was just saying if i had the cash i would buy the p4 as its faster but unfortunately alot more expensive :( all my...

Im an amd man myself but only because i cant afford the generally higher priced (and faster) intels.

Constructive critiscism is always welcome and yeah its mainly imagination on this one, i can create a good model of any real gun no problem but when it comes to designing one straight out of my head the problems increase 10fold. Im still trying to design the basic shape and make it as...

uhh i never said i textured it :) its a simple grey right now

Yeah i agree about the tacky background i just added it in because the black background darkened it and made it harder to see. Ive Changed it to a simple dark red instead hope thats a little easier on the eyes ive just made a few minor cosmetic changes i could add more detail but i want to keep...
