Most of his models involve using blueprints to create a model of a planned building, and then lay that model on top of a photo of the site. The only way you can tell its fake is the lack of dirt, usually

But you can make things look realistic in 3DSM, I guess it just depends on how much practice you get.

Thordic is correct... Hell and I could make a dead on model of anything. Only problem that we have when making models for games is a polycount limit. You can only have so much detail in the model. The Half-Life engine can only handle so many polygons. There for we can't make everything look as realistic as we want. If we didnt have polycount limit our models could be 5-10 thousand polys, but Half-Life limits us to a 1500 polycont There for we are limited to bringing exact replicas of our models. So our cylinders cant be perfect circles and so on. We try to put every detail we can fit in and still keep it running smooth.

A couple of times a year, someone e-mails me a picture of anything from a rendered model of a gun, to a rendered model of a player on a field, or whatever, and says something about how they are making a game that will blow {insert whatever game name here} out of the water.

I have yet to see anything come of any of them.

It's much more impressive brag about what they have achieved than what they are convinced they will achieve some day in the future.

Since the link to the site for this game is dead, can we deduce that the game is too?

And besides that - Lighwave rocks. I've been using it since V0.9, and used to teach Lightwave workshops at Fresno State.

See you on the field,

uhm. ok. since i'm a avid player of DPB, and any other avid player of DPB, they should know me, but still. so it has AWESOME renders. guess what, DPB can have the same exact renders in it too. its just the ability of the artist.

personally, i dont care what the gun looks like, you barely see the gun when your playing anyways. i'd rather have better looking models, and bunkers than better looking guns.

The reason the site your visiting is dead is because they now have a new domain. http://www.mvpb.com

I wish I didnt lose my half life cd

How is that better then digital paintball? You havnt even played it yet, alls i see if a model. Its pre-rendered, so it doesnt mean it will look like that in the game.
