12 x 12 is 144. A significant number. Its even and 3 digits.
Nothing beats that.

Here i am in Canada, now an official resident. The only thing i can say is how hot it is. Britains sunny days are usually short-lived but the weather here in Abottsford if going to be lasting for something like a fortnight. Luckily my rooms in the basement which stays nice and cool, Which is useful since anything above ground burns my hands if i touch it.

Now, where did i leave those Oreo's?.....

I've been experimenting with FruityLoops a lot recently. Today I made a short tune that turned out quite well in my opinion

Feel free to give me some feedback, I'd appreciate it very much :)

So begins my 'real' summer..
I'm off to my grandparents for a two weeks or so. There's loads of work, that needs to be done in my grandpa's farm.

Still - I'm not leaving Hammer. I'll try finishing hs4d on it (mostly entity work, without compiling) on a MASSIVE 400 mHz, 32 mb ram laptop with a whopping 2mb of gfx! :o

So wish me luck and I'll see you soon.. :)

God Perfect Dark Zero for 360 looks astounding. Everything is like 4x4 normal mapped with scale at like 99! (For those of you who understand that you know thats wicked sick!11

I stared at a brickwall for like 5 minutes. It was so perfectly normal mapped, and parallax mapped! Its a flat surface, but each brick looks as though it was seperate! INSANE!

Single player is stunning graphics wise, but the VO and AI are horrible.

Multiplayer is very fun though :)

I mainly am taking more pleasure from admiring the models and engine then the actual game XD

So scratch the thought of me attending the lan tournament. My dad refused to sign the parental consent waiver because of an earlier decision I made to not attend church. So times are really really rough and it seems that my family will only be good to me if I am a part of their religion. Good thing church and state are seperate. So my dad basically told me I don't have a right to my religion. I have to go to church because that is the rules and I can do different when im 18. well im 17 and when march comes around that will be the time. I just feel like my family here is shunning me because I choose not to go to church.

So yea after my horrible phone conversation with my dad I was terribly mad. I punched my door only to bring my grandma yelling at me and trying to make me feel better by telling me I don't have friends. And as soon as I mentioned that ordeal about me choosing to go to church or not thats when she turned on me and walked away from.

So much for the love grandma. All love in this family is based on religion and i absolutely disagree with it. But apparently im bad for disagreeing.
Yes i've gone out of control but their ignorance pisses me off so much that the only thing I can say is the wrong thing. Nothign I do is right for them.

So yea i just emailed my mom telling her how pissed off I am and that I want to go stay with her for my last year of highschool.
Hopefully she responds back.
I need to get away from these people. :tired:

OH God I really hate UV mapping. It is the most boring, tedious, repetitive process of modeling there is!!!

Ive finally decided on another map to make. Its for CSS and involves a city combined with an underground subway. THere will be a train (possibly a custom model I create) Along with tons of custom materials all properly lighted and normal mapped. Also custom models everywhere! Parking meters, cars, gurters, Da works. I want it to feel almost like another game while playing.

Right now Im currently modeling and skinning a parking meter for the map. Check back here for some screenies when its finished :)

Rather than becoming a professional level-designer, it seems I'm becoming a professional game programmer. My new holiday job/internship starts coming monday. :)

Now if I'd only finish that template quad-tree for my rendering system and collision module...

A month since I last posted, and it's been going well... Gotten myself back into the use of Hammer, and I'm currently working on my first multiplayer map, zp_skyscraper, for the half-life one mod Zombie Panic.
