[Sculptris tips and character making]

Why not give Sculptris a go, it is free! Also very small download.

I love sculptris myself, easy to use, and together with 3D Coat it is pure awesome.

 

Excelent tutorial.

[Leadwerks 3.1 Pre-orders Now Available, Indie Edition coming to Steam January 6th]

I skipped the 3.0 version of LE, and I am not proud of that fact. But I have moved most of my work and play over to Linux and almost gave up on LE, until Josh started the kickstarter and got me intrigued again.

 

I paid for the 2.3 update, and I will pay for 3.2 update as well, long as Linux support stays in and the features are worth the pricepoint.

The high end/powered renderer is deffinately worth a 99$ upgrade in of itself, so I just don't know why people are even discussing this.

Josh need to make a living, he is creating some awesome software for us and deserves getting paid for it. With an engine as cheap as LE is (200$ and no royalties) his payments has to come in through paid upgrades.

 

Thats just my two cents.

Broken record or not, you earned this!

This is too awesome! I am so happy to see this

really now, turn down the motion blur please!

[No SOPA]

As a professional web developer, SOPA and PIPA feels like the biggest threats to my future income.

If people cant legally obtain and run webservices, then I cant make money creating those webservices.

This is a big issue, not just for me, but also for providers of alternate software, even operating systems, that today rely on the internet to not only deploy software, but even develop it!

Imagine a world where software cant be freely distributed. For if the media can shut down entire sites, why wouldnt large software companies be able to as well? And would it even stop there?

 

Im scared....

But is my fears unwarrented?

[Debunking Hype]

Whoop! Well said Josh!

I find that most things you write or speak about is quite understandable, which is a big reason I like your products. It is excelent indeed that you give us your viewpoint on the technological corners of the industry, and for this I applaud you!

[Continuum]

Agreed with the above!

 

That was really nicely done. It seems very smooth too which is a big plus. Well done!

[Vegetation nation]

I am stunned!

In so many ways this looks a lot better then crysis, just to use the regular benchmark for awesome graphics.

The angular shapes to the rocks does nothing to diminish the look of quality, infact in some cases it adds to it instead.

These pictures is proof of the awesomeness of Leadwerks engine's potential. The ramshackle storage facility looks very realistic, if not a bit too run down with repair work done by juniour graders or so it looks, but the quality of mesh and textures are superb and I love the vegetation!

 

Truly a testament to pure3D and Leadwerks!

Absolutely amazing!

[OnLive Lives?]

the way I see it, it could work, but for various reasons games will still be developed for the desktop computers, consoles and more.

Why? Because of the sport in computer building and customization, both hardware and software. Because of microsoft that have been spitting out money for their console and operating system. And probably mostly because of the subscription part of this deal.

Quite honestly, I would not want to pay a subscription costing perhaps 150 a month even if I got to play a dozen more games then the three I could buy in the store for that money.

I would still want the games on hard copies because I like to return to my games later in time, I also like to see them in my shelf, I like to be able to mod the games, and I like to be able to adjust my settings to what pleases me in accordance with my hardware.

 

Will onLive be a flop? hardly. I think it will be convenient for many people. But will it change the face of gaming? I hardly think so, but time will tell.
