Some recent work on the Digital Human Project.

Dominance Wars is a game art competition that runs between some of the biggest CG forums on the web, Cgtalk (www.cgsociety.org forums), 3d Total (www.3dtotal.com), CGLand (www.CGLand.com) Polycount (www.polycount.com) and Game Artisians (www.gameartisians.com) to name afew.

The quality of art in the competition over the previous years has just got better and better. One of the most interesting features of the competition is that it shows the development of the character right from concept to intergration using a work in progress system the participants are required to follow. Some top gear in both 3d and 2d art and always great inspiration.

I just bought this game and Gears of War for the PC at the same time and they will not run on this computer! Now I have a really good computer with a 512mb FireGL card and 4 megs of ram with a duel core 2.4 Intel processor and it still will not run either of these games! They’re running on the desktop I bought from Lidl about a year ago though and they do look sweet! This laptop 3000 odd quid, the one from lidl around 800… go figure!
Anyway here’s an a article on the art team behind the game. Just love the image above! Linked to from the article is a higher res image of it you should take a look at. The detail of the modelling is incredible!

The story behind this is really funny! The guy spent three years in college and studied animation. This was his final piece. He obviously found the whole experience a tad unfullfilling. I just love the “thanks for nothing” at the end!

Nice article into the charcter design and level deisgn tactics behind the beautifull Team Fortress 2 from Valvle Software. From the very realistic look and feel of the original comes a much more humourous and identifiable alternative.
A game well worth the look with a strong visual identity. I got what has been released as the Orange Box recently and it is well worth the money. You get Half Life 2 episode 1, 2, Teamfortress 2 and Portal all for the price of one game and all fantastic games!
