Blargh

Hardware failure at my webhost a few weeks back. Need to re-upload the pictures but I've been lazy. Which is also why I haven't updated this thing in months.

ZBrush 3 released last week. As amazing as I thought ZBrush 2 was.. ZBrush 3 is that much more amazing. Lots to learn but the basic sculpting has an incredibly natural feel to it now. Having loads of fun with it.

Can't believe it's been a month

Time sure flies. I keep telling myself to update this more frequently, but it never seems to happen.

I've been beta testing Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. This game is absolutely amazing. Visually stunning with lots and lots of complexity and depth. I've pre-ordered it and I've already joined a guild for it.

I won't lie - it still has quite a few annoying bugs an some of the features it's *supposed* to have aren't implimented yet. But even so, I've found it to be a highly enjoyable game.

Okay, screenshot time:


Vulmane Warrior in some sweet looking gear.


Another angle


Half Elf monk


Those are all screenshots I took from character select. The first two images were from the old character select screen, the last one from the new screen. They've both been cropped and resized, and I believe the video settings are maxed for all three. (Not 100% positive about the first two, but I know they are for the last one.)

Click this to see a fullscreen unaltered screenshot of some landscape. This was taken in the mountains just north of the wolf city. Again, all settings were maxed. And in all honestly I was surprised at the performance I was getting that way. Much much better than I would have expected.
