... Red Faction remake in Unreal Tournament - srsly? I played Unreal Tournament so much I turned it into a business (LONG STORY!) I'm all for using UDK, but it's the same situation for me - I don't understand how to reuse objects from different projects - I always have a massive crash which I forwa...

I want to understand what it takes to achieve similar results as the OverGrowth tools. You need a mesh, a skeleton, the mesh's vertices have to be associated with the skeleton's bones with a weight value. Then you do keyframe animation with the skeleton's bones - you translate and rotate them. You ...

On an existing, unwrapped model, Photoshop or any other 2D editing software is enough. Photoshop CS4 Extended can even show the 3D object textured. Can't afford PhotoShop, just starting with Microsoft Paint. Blender has a texture painting mode as well. By setting the brush to use an image, you can ...

I just grabbed Blender 2.49b for Windows7 64bit (no installer, yet), should work after I install the Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistribution Package (x64) It was confusing as hell on the WalMart laptop, I'm sure a interface refresh would do wonders. I'll be trying to import models and see what happens, M...

I just learned how to animate a .obj model in MilkShape3D !!!! And then I quit without saving. +_+ It was way more painful than in the OverGrowth tools video >_> Next step, coloring models, maybe even textures! Thanks to Assaultman67 for pointing out MilkShape3D, otherwise I'd still be working with ...

You can throw in any models, but you can't import animations yet. I'm not sure if you ever can, because Overgrowth has its own animation and rigging editor already incorporated. It's not complete yet, but now that we have a real model moving in the engine the animation editor will probably be used ...

I'd jump on this and say yes ... but I've worked in groups that both succeeded and failed spectacularly ... which is a bit of a masochist situation for either scenario ... LOL! Also im not sure if I wanna try to mod this or create something with the UDK ... Red Faction remake in Unreal Tournament -...

He meant constructive solid geometry . It is basically a set based approach, determining objects by set unions, set difference etc. of simpler objects. You can cut out a sphere from a cube to get a cube with a hole. Not totally sure what BSP means, but maybe this . Basically the editor of Overgrowt...

I've been looking into modding overgrowth for a while as well, although when the special NS2/OG deal came around I decided its time to preorder ... even if the tools turned out bad, I'd be supporting two indie game makers while getting some cheap games ... However, I'm not so much a coder type as I...

Beat Boxing Is The Shiz

Have you considered Flash? It's extremely easy to pick up, and you can create pretty complex games. If you can find a student to buy it, it's only 250 on Academic Superstore. It's really where I started my game design experiences. I have never tried Flash actually, I didn't know where to start. The...

I'm not impatient, I just want it yesteryear, immediately isn't fast enough *<B-] As long as the scripting is easy for noobs like me, and there's lots of examples with beat boxing. Well, scripting is scripting, and I don't think it can get much easier than it is in Unity. Doing simple things has so...

Hello there, I'm new here, and this post will decide if I'll be pre-ordering Overgrowth. I have been searching for an environment that would allow me to create SOMETHING that I might be able to show the nephews and nieces without having them say "T]-[/\T'5 0L]>&^!" or "EW!" a...
