But I did. It's in there.

Your next lot for the day.

Oh Daubsterrrr Some more will be shown each day. Something to look forward to

I sing the song about the man named habboi

Dont ask why I saved those pictures and many others. I don't even know myself. I've even kept some back from you Hunter for they were not funny and made me look stupid @_@

The website looks so alive in that picture.

Haha, never seen that one before.

I can't resist posting more

Another teaser while we wait for Hunter to sort through the mess I sent him.

ATTENTION

Hunter, I've spent two, yes two hours sorting out all TWHL, Our Gmod days, funny print screens etc into a rar. It is almost everything I have of the old days. Some may seem strange, I only remember vaguely what some of them were about.

I'm rar'ing and I'm going to send a PM cause it's huge. A lot of it is shoutbox stuff but I didn't crop them so that's one of the reasons why it's so big. If possible can you send the folder named Livewire to him as well. I rarely talk to him these days.

Some of it is so funny, you'll love me for it. I promise.

P.S. I may have another of those funny pics above...I think it's Luke. Some dude with chicks legs, a gas mask, heels and a beano mag.

P.S.S - Here's a taster of things to come http://i52.tinypic.com/ajl15s.jpg

Sorry Huntey:

http://www.twhl.co.za/forums.php?thread=9949&page=1

What happened to...can't remember if it was Strider's or Zombie's comic featuring TWHL members as characters? Most of them were set in cs_office.

I'll have to sort through my drive sometime. One picture that comes to mind is that dickhead who kept bashing the episodic Half Life's and then there was some picture where his lips were super bright red and we all laughed cause it looked like lipstick.

I'll do it later, right now I gots work.

Welcome back. Remember this site well cause...WE'RE MOVING TO A BETTER LIFE.

No, truthfully it's just a discussion at the moment but TWHL may change face.

Wait so does that mean Huntey never saw my over the top take a shit on the toilet comment in his map comments? Damn.

Silent Hill. Seen it before but it was movie weekend with the old man so I introduced him to it. We also watched Children of Men which wasn't that bad but the ending screamed student director or something.

I say reset Ieatchow or was it cheese...'s login just to piss him off *_*

You know it is a bit weird that Atom never seems to get in contact with you lot and yet pays for hosting. I smell a mystery?

I look forward to next year's new year since I'm interested in this 2012 end of the world bullshit.

Yep. ^

Deus Ex.

So after writing that I played a load more and I was quite disappointed by the fact I was able to just waltz in and kill Caesar with no effort. Also with Mr House dead I can't understand how there's going to be a battle now.

Anyway I know I'm close to the end so I'm going to postpone it and do more side quests.

But overall it was quite fun, the main quest wasn't as good as Fallout 3's but the sidequests were much better and felt like mini-stories on their own.

I couldn't help myself. From the start one of my aims was to get a certain armour. I finally got it but made some enemies but they'll love me soon enough once I do their work.

Anyway I also had to do the quest for NCR where I had to stop the kings from being violent. I tried to use my speech tactics but the King wouldn't have it so assassinate I did only it caused the entire clan to shoot me as expected. So I quickly run out and head back to the NCR where I find out my only chat line is "The King..sorta...got killed." and an angry NCR not amused. I didn't kill him, turns our Rex did. lul.

So I use this quest as the perfect excuse to kill all the people over at the Silver something...the place with all the fancy weapons. Now I'm filled with ammo, got my armour and everything is finally repaired to their maximum output.

And here I am All beefed up, ready for the main quest in the near future.P.S. I chose the explorer perk and saw the crashed vertibird at the bottom of the map. My god, so many robots with lazers. I almost had no chance but luckikly had a lot of drugs. What do I get for winning? A stupid retexture of that giant ammo eating gun from the last DLC for Fallout 3.

I can imagine. Actually after the whole PC incident I was having thoughts of trading in the PC version for PS3 one. But after reading how the long load times and what not, changed my mind.

Anyway here's a picture since there seems to be a lack of in this thread.I don't normally wear this armour but I liked the hat after killing that bounty hunter dude who said "I was below him". Well his head was certainly below me once he said that. I had also just done that quest in the hotel with the masked people. Actually kind of creepy and weird plus I kept getting lost >_>

Oh and I gave Veronica a mask so we could both sneak around but she ended up liking it XD

P.S.Fu**ing love this weapon. It's got two of my favourite things. A shotgun like spread and shoots plasma instead of boring old bullets

Using all my tweaks and such I've managed to get the crashing down to 2-3 a day. It's still not right and the fact that it lags in some places even though I can run any other game on max is a sham.

Ah I love that brotherhood companion. She punches the shit out of anything which makes a great finisher when my VATS fail to kill my enemies.

Vault...34 is it? The one with the armory was a nightmare for me. I got lost a lot and was running out of radaway plus the ghouls were really strong for my character. Still the All American and my very first sniper was worth the risk since I'm roleplaying as a Chinese sniper.

Oh a bug I came across was using the NCR radio to send for supplies and couldn't find it. Eventually I used noclip and found it deep under the terrain. No more achievements for me, not that I care.

Oh and this is pretty awesome. I must admit I use my chatting more than my fists. (and lazers)

You'll probably have to code it. If you need help go on the Unity forums, they helped me figure out how to make a trigger that lets the player open a door when they're inside it.

Simple. I used to go on Habbo Hotel back when it was popular (Just like pokemon cards).

I think it was my first time thinking up a name to use on the Internet so my mother suggested Habboy and my inner rapper / chav said add an I.

I don't actually like the name but it has become my trademark since I now own a website under the name which got me noticed by a firm who invited me to review games. I get the odd insult every now and then when people see my name thinking I love Habbo Hotel still but I don't...cause they deleted mah account.

Rimrook. UDK applies a post process effect consisting of a dynamic AO, depth of blur, screen effects and bloom.

I turned off most of it cause it sucked. I tweaked the AO cause that too sucked. Actually interesting fact is that UDK will stop us from tweaking the AO in the future cause they are working on an "Works for every map" AO. You can actually try the unfinished version but when I use it the black goes away.

Yeah it is / was but I'm trying to stray away from that now that I've got a base to work with. It's all a good learning experience too obviously.

Say what happened to your TF2 volcano or your HL2 map with the cool effects.

UDK scene set in the near future. Sorta. Very early, windows haven't been touched yet.

I like it. I'm not too bothered about it and take it in at a thin level so the crappy writing doesn't affect me.

I got the camera glitch yesterday but I think it was lag generated by playing on some foreign server that caused it.

What do you guys think

I think...get ready for a family car? D:

The paint impressed me the most and all the nice features like destroying the level geometry and using lasers.

You people are crazy. I see a man with a beard.

Not like these forums are even that busy anymore. Surely there can't be that many people that spam YT and if they do just warn them and ban if they do it again. Big whoop.

Make sure you wrote in the right name for the sky.

Try this in map properties

I believe this will only be the short introduction where you follow the blue module around.

Some new pictures.

And with modelling that'd take 1 minute tops

First of all, you want to make a layout that is unique, one that will capture the employer.. dont just copy it, the emploer will be like, "ah seen that shit before, click, close"

I agree to some extent but too unique means a site that is difficult to navigate because it is so unique they'll be like "What."

Habboi, the dropshadows got to be changed.. if an employer looked at that, he'd be like, "wow, photoshop filters are used everywhere, looks like a 2 minute job, I could even do it!"

But I like 30 degrees @_@ Well to be fair I adjusted it and I think it's 28 degrees XD

Well instead of drop shadow what else do you suggest? I uploaded the PSD for people to mess with so if you have creativity flowing through you then that'd be awesome.

"Environment Modeller"

Seeing as everything is modelled you kinda narrowed it down too much, instead try to change it to "Level Designer" yeah like I said environment modeller sounds to broad..

I actually got that title from a 2010 slideshow by Naughty Dog on how to make a good portfolio. It was informative and very funny, makes me wanna work there now. Anyway they actually went into each role because it said you must state who you want to be and one of them was Env Modeler (with one L but I seriously think that's American because both come up fine).

Level Designers technically plan the layouts, do scripting and so on, no artsy stuff although I must stress no one company is the same with their roles. "Env modellers" or as I prefer "Prop Modellers" vary but really it's making the pretty models that make up the world and place on top of the level designers boring planned out level.

Another thing, try to refrain from posting levels of HL2 that you've made unless your applying at Valve only.

I stated on my first post that they were temporary pictures although technically that's old and it was meant for these pics as well. Most of those pics are student stuff I've done over the three years, five of them can be combined into one and others are not even going to be on the front page.

Thanks for the tips, if you have any ideas for drop shadows or visually because I'm stumped now and think it's simple, displays the work and so on. I'll need to design the other pages soon once I confirm this design is alright.

Edit:

Alright so I updated it a little more and a user over at Interlopers has offered to attempt to code it so I'll be waiting on him for the next few days hopefully and then I'll get back to you

Cheers Zombie. I needed inspiration.

Alrighty well I've done some minor edits again tonight but nothing special. I've decided to upload the PSD in case anyone with better artistic ability wants to mess around with it:

http://www.upload.habboi.co.uk/portfolio.rar

When you say non-intrusive what do you have in mind? I'll play around with the boxes as you said and see what I discover.

I've put the whirls back for now but used a gradient although it needs work and I used a middle one so that it can be faded along the edges.

Ok so I did some changes today but I didn't do much as I have work to do but these are changes based on what people have said.I'm gonna work on the banner and grey bit more to make them more fancy sometime later.

Yeah that'd be nice to see working. Alright Daubster I'll get to work on those suggestions and I've agreed since last night when Killa said it looked cheap and it is probably because it is simple Photoshop effects so I'll mess with some more visual stuff but not too much.

Looks useful if only I could figure out how to implement it D: Not much of a coder you see.

I've been posting on Interlopers as well and they suggested some links that explain how to make a good portfolio and I have since changed mine a little to meet those requirements:

Right I see what you mean. One guy told me that this method of slicing isn't good for resolutions and coding it in HTML will still mean the background will not tile therefore I've taken the star-burst out but I need to know if this design is on the right track as well.

Before I start I want to stress that my coding ability especially website design is lacking and would love some help putting a site together. This can be either a helpful link to a tutorial or physically helping.

Now last night I made this wip below and I need advice on everything! Rip it apart, tell me what is missing, what sucks and whether you have better ideas. I was already told by a friend that he doesn't like the font so by all means if you don't either then share some with me. I also made this as 1280x768 but is that correct? I think I have to do that "slicing method" that I've never used before.

Don't be gentle. This is just the front page anyway.Another edit following advice of user 01.(Temporary pictures anyway)

So far the crits I have received are:

1. Font doesn't suit background.

2. Links need to be darker or have a banner behind them to stand out.

3. Background needs to be darker, looks washed out and reminds user of tellytubbies. (I'm starting to agree, a lot of portfolio websites seem darker which makes the pictures stand out.)

4. Picture borders need to be darker, perhaps black to stand out.

5. Ditch the slice method and go for a HTML site.

You are certain? I've been using png a lot lately for game shots and the quality says a big fuck you to 90% jpg and I really don't see any loss of colour @_@ Teach me please
