It's back.

(OT, I really should stick my head in here more often. )

Yay for forum instability

ROFL.


And if MediaPlayer/Mozilla isn't working you need to update at least one of them.

Environmental mapping works with the Catalyst drivers, always has. It just looks a little silly without the spec, which, incidentally, isn't working in those pics.

Uh, yeah. Generally anything larger than the Colossus is both unnecessary and impossible to balance to make the game interesting. The shape isn't bad (a tad too pronounced on the spikes and WAY too low poly, but otherwise not bad) but you may look at making it a corvette instead of a supercap. More ...

From a strictly asthetic perspective, the Boanerges needs textures that do as little as possible to accentuate it's geometry. The thing already looks way too primitive, and anything that brings out the simpleness of the shape, such as those engine blocks, is generally bad practice. The technique is ...

Yeah really Goober, of all times to point someone there

I think you can get it from Download.com (just do a search for Truespace) but you'll need a reg code from Caligari. Finding it on their site can be, well, challenging.

Why even post this poll? I will be sooo glad when this election is over, if only because I am sick and tired of this stupid debate. (That and the stupid, low-blow, non-sequiter political ads that have inundated TV lately) I personally do not support bush because I do not endorse the policies he has ...

Knight. Got together a bunch of beer cases and duct tape and made my own costume

Then you really are missing the point.

Eh, the dynamics are still down. Someone went and redrew the html "main" page that used to point to HLP2.0. That said, it's nice to see that something is happening.

Oh I wasn't disagreeing with you there kara, it was directed at Lib's bad science comments on the previous page. I was reinforcing what had already been stated. On brown dwarfs, you are correct; they are stellar masses but don't actually have the working fusion powerplant of a star. I was thinking o...

There are far too many variants of the name "Argo" in Greek mythology. Fortunately, it's already assigned to the terran transport. I'd pick something different (preferably non-greeko-roman) for the Shivans. Nope. A brown dwarf has stopped fusion by very early in its life. Brown dwarfs never had the ...

Isn't this a sign of the apocalypse?

Because somehow spinning continually helps dissipate heat... except that the only way that would work is if the heat were being dissipated into some other medium, like air, that the rotation would increase exposure to. Really, if you're going to try to use technobabble, do it shamelessly. The only p...
