    New PC

    Hey, I just ordered a Dell Inspiron 7559 (with an Intel Core i5-6300HQ, 8gb or ram, and Geforce GTX 960m) and a separate order of a 250gb Samsung SSD M.2 (and of course that Logitech G300s I was talking about in that other thread). Finally got a computer that can run Traction Wars well! woop...

    Recommendations for a new mouse

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a new mouse. Preferably searching for something that has quiet clicks (clicking can get obnoxious after a while..), plus a comfortable feel when you click the scroll wheel which I often use that feature in 3ds Max. Also, getting it under 40 USD would be nice. I...

    [AT Mine] French Mle 1936

    Hello there, lately I have been really getting into modeling and texturing for modding in FH2 (3ds Max 9 is the last supported exporter for modding in BF2). So I took a bunch of tutorials ranging from modeling to uvw unwrapping. Like some people, I never really took a serious look at poly + tri...

    Normandy In CryENGINE (WIP Map)

    Hello everyone! Today I am going to show you a Normandy styled map that has been worked on for more than three months by me. The biggest thing for me with this map is trying my best to make it realistic and gameplay smart. My previous map “Anctoville, France” taught me some of that...

    Shooting Range (WIP Map)

    Hello! :) I haven't posted an actual thread of my own maps in a while. :) If you think about it, this looks like TW's same one, but it is not. Matter of fact, it came across my mind just now of the similarities. To keep it short, this map is a "shooting range" based in the Normandy area in...

    WWII Artwork

    Perhaps not a "real" WW2 picture, but this one is really awesome! :) During Falaise Pocket, two Typhoons (three - the very distant one) pass a German battalion of mostly Tiger I and Opel Blitzs.

    Custom Road and Decal Creation for CryENGINE

    Hello everyone, following my previous blog ("Custom Terrain Texture Creation for CryENGINE"), I would like to contribute a “part 2” of CryENGINE ground texture creation (terrain, roads, decals) to you! The focus here is Roads and Decals, and how to fade the sides of them. I have seen so often...

    Anctoville, France (WIP Map)

    Hello everyone, that CryENGINE map I was promised, is ready to be revealed! That recently created level is “Anctoville, France”, it has been created, brain cudgeled, baked, and tested, for over four months. I really wanted to get finished with it and move on. Keep in mind, it looks...

    Point of View - great source of handweapons for modeling

    I found this website "point of view", which is great if you want to model iron sights or the back view of your gun. Cheers http://candrsenal.com/pov-gallery/

    My grandfather passed away

    Last night, I just received news that my grandfather passed away, after being rushed to the hospital from the nursing home. Originally he had a heart attack and had to be kept alive artificially six years (six years!) in the nearest nursing home. He was a WW2 veteran, he was most remembered...

    Custom Terrain Texture Creation for CryENGINE

    Hello everyone! I thought I would share some details of the process involving texturing, including how to activate Parallax Occlusion Mapping. I apologize if it is too lengthy to read, but for beginners in CryENGINE, it might be a helpful aid. If you have any specific questions about texturing...

    Shrapnel Sound Effects

    I saw this on another forum talking about "shrapnel sound effects" and "shake". How audible you can actually hear them is interesting. Is it possible to add them to the game? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_MgM17Lqdc It would bring the true life of a FPS come to life that is for sure!

    Mikhail Kalashnikov dies at the age 94

    I cannot believe it! He will be truly missed. Father of the Ak47 and all variants. His early life he was in the T34 tank crew, but he got severely injured. After that he worked on the road to the AK47. He died because of poor health. BBC News - AK47 assault rifle inventor Kalashnikov dies...

    CryENGINE 3 SDK Diorama/Panoramas Thread!

    I just thought I'd create this thread because there are those CryENGINE 3 creations where it does not deserve its own separate thread (i.e showcase maps). Let's fire it off, at least mine, which I have created just recently. :) These are based on real world locations! The only problem is I...

    The Field (WIP Map)

    Well here you have it.. finally.. :) Image heavy though. This Normandy map - The Field. The name is a bit nondescript, but I could not think of anything better. The map is not quite finished yet, but I am almost worn out by it. At least 3 weeks of work on it, so I would appreciate some likes...

    First Attempt at Modelling

    As the title says my first attempt at modelling - a snowman. :) The arms do look hideous though, buttons in the middle somehow look strange also. :p

    The Tunnel (WIP Map)

    Hey and yet again it is time for another map to showcase. :) Still it has some work to be done on it to make it more polished. Yes I know those rocks looks a little to repetitive. ;)
