Great to hear from you! Still as stoked as ever!

This is very interesting. Keeping my eye on this one. :)

That's odd, but I saw an update on his conceptart.org thread that was fairly recent. Maybe he's just taking a break?

Do you have a website? Your art is beautiful

Yeah, been back, just taking it slow.

Been a long time, man. :)

What's with the awful framerate?

You've got terrain down, now just imagine foliage.
Speedtree.com

Something like that, I'd say just duplicate their technique, and BAM! Instant endless foliage! That would look absolutely spectacular!

best mod ever

harsh...

hhmmmmmmmm
no.
Sorry, but oversexed, disproportionate, practically naked anime chicks aren't sexy. How about, rather than insulting my intelligence, you make a tasteful female character. You may have very well turned off half of your potential audience.

wow.... just wow

Jeeze, might as well make her topless it's so boarderline. :rolleyes:

Don't forget pirates!!!

Been going through my pm's and came acrossed your old dracten application and cancelation. Glad you didn't join dracten, it would have been a big mistake. I know it was for me. :(

Is there an official WIP thread? There only seems to be a few progress shots in the rules thread, I just wondered if there are any more entries to look at.

Dang, I thought you meant this: Content.answers.com
Now you got me all excited... :(
Cool idea, though.

They may live longer, but they live out the last 20 years of their life in a rest home bitter and hateful.

Dr Breen is the ADMINISTRATOR. Why would he be doing grunt work in a lab coat?
This mod looks amazing. Ijust wish you had a more accurate release date.

Mod looks nice. I remeber back in the day when I used to work for a furry mod. Good times.
Btw, human hair pieces on animal like creatures are out of style now. Go for the natural look. ;)

A very appropriate name, I do find the shape to be very sleek and fox-like. This is simply the best concept I have ever seen for a mod, simply professional quality. I don't throw that term around often.

Simply awsome. A little frusterating, but it's workable. I'm not sure if this is an intentional feature, but enemies don't see you in the shadows. That worked for me, most of the time at least. It'd be awsome if they had a "suspicious" mode, from reacting to sounds and seeing you for a split second or from a distance, where they would investigate.

Yes, those are extremely long arms. She also has a man's pelvis and thighs, not attractive.

Looks nice, I'll give it a try.

I find this drama exhilarating.

As I said before did CS charge people who actually owned half-life for their game? No. Was it released to retail for other people to buy standalone? Yes. Garry is really trying to rip people off by charging people who already own HL2 for his mod. If CS, the most played and most likely the best online FPS allows players who already had HL1 to continue playing their mod without charging there is no reason for Garry’s Mod to do different.

No, they did not charge for those who already owned half-life, but I do believe that you have a filing error. You're allowing the past to effect your expectations for the future. Just because people weren’t charged in 1997 doesn't mean they should carry the same policy for the duration of their existence. This is entirely a case by case scenario. CS was free for those who owned half-life, but it was $30 for those who didn't. Is that fair? I don't think so, because I could just buy half-life for the same price and get 2 games, HL and CS. Valve looses money in the long run. Not fair to them, not fair to us.

I can't believe you have the nerve to say that this man, Garry Newman, is deliberately ripping us off for personal gain. You dolt. He's been releasing mods for FREE up until 9.04b, and you expect me to believe that he would have a transformation of heart, a sudden unprecedented alteration in character, that he would sell out when offered money for his HOBBY and try to screw you over? What, are you that egocentric? Are you some kind of solipsist? Regardless of what your current beliefs are, you are NOT the only person who lives on earth. Other people have needs, passions, hobbies, talents, and LIVES. Garry was offered a great opportunity by VALVe to continue the mod he was walking away from, his hobby, what he does for fun. It’s everyone’s dream to be paid to do what they love. What would you do?

$10 is a small price to pay. It costs that much for a full meal at any fast food restaurant. If you don’t want o spend it, then don’t buy it! It’s pointless for you to argue about something you have no interest in ever using. This way VALVe looses no money, Garry gets plenty, and we get a severely updated and improved game for a great price! I don’t see the problem! Get with the program.

What an overworked topic.
BillyChaka, what is "selling-out" to you? I don't entirely understand how your mind works (I picture two cavemen throwing rocks at eachother) but if you could elucidate, maybe we could understand where you're coming from. So far you havn't defined a threshold or bounds of what you consider to be Successful or Selling out. What is the difference to you?

I left a comment of a few problems in your new image. It covers my main concerns with your new model. If you need any help, I can offer modeling a face for you if you like.

Well, I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but there are a few things wrong with the model that are really bothering me, and are sure to bother any other gamer.
Her head is enormous, like invaders from amrs enormous; Her lips are shapeless, far too tight round the corners and the lower lip doesn't trasnition well to the jaw; She has a flat, masculine jawline, a bulbus nose, and a very thin, short neck (which is why I can's see it.) She seems to be missing some false-ribs, making her rib-cage seem too small, and her pelvis is very slim anterior wise (from the front). More nitpicky problems include: her feet are too small, ankels too thin, and the hands are a little large, as well as her eyes.

I realise that I fail to give you a point of reference in proportions, forgive me. I would suggest seraching for a female model-sheet of some kind on Google to get a good idea of what corrections should be made. As for the face, I'd suggest remaking it.

mmmm, most mods are like fanart, remaking something that already exists. It's rare to find something new or different. Garry's Mod is a mod that really is different (you knwo that one, right?) and even recieved Mod of the year in 2005.
Starting your own mod takes a lot more than you think. I havn't actually tried it yet, but it takes a great deal of preperation and work from what I can see. Before you start one, I suggest you join one so you can get the feel for it. Most people who start out with thier first mod end up scrapping it (unless they're a programmer, they always have something to for people to play).
Blah... I've always wanted to start my own mod. I created a character spawned from my daydreams of said mod. You've seen him before: Img.photobucket.com I even modeled him too (older version) Img.photobucket.com
But I honestly don't think it would stay alive. It's simply too ambitious and I'd have far too high of expectations to ever get anything done. Maybe someday, perhaps after my mission.
