That concert scene looks like a mapper who has gone overboard with point_spotlight. I don't know why, but it doesn't look like a real place to me. The architecture is too simple, and the lighting could be better done.

Good colorful ambiance though, and I like the smoke effect.

only a true mapper writes mapping critiques about stuff beyond the world of mapping <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

come to think of it, why dont we start a topic "you know you mapped too much when...."




These words are my diaries screaming out loud

I look at some of these desktops and wonder "My God, what have they done"

I cannot imagine having more than one or two icons on my taskbar.. Not the open ones, sometimes I have ten or more of those.. I am talking about the quick launch resource eaters..

On my wifes I have my Kodak one only. On mine I have my ATI power strip only. On my son's I have nothing.. Nada.

In fact, I often reboot just to frag or play a game cause I want every single erg there is.

Perhaps, just perhaps its no longer necessary but old habits die hard. I have had substandard machines for way to long.. Try fragging a FPS online with a crappy pci video card for a while on 56k.. :/

Anywho's.. I am not positive my machine runs better, but I feel better and since I am the one that needs to be pleased.. Its a no lose scenario <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

I don't worry about it too much to be honest. For the few bytes of memory you are losing out on, I'm happy to have the added useabilty of a few system tray icons. I don't play much in the way of PC games these days anyway, so grabbing all my resources isn't normally too big a worry for me. I'm currently back using the WinXP shell instead of the LiteStep one I was using for a while, because the LiteStep theme wasn't loving dual monitor setups. I alternate my second screen between my spare 17" monitor and my big TV; the former for general computer use, and the latter for watching anime <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> Here is my primary desktop...

I don't change my desktop too much...


I really dislike bright backgrounds for some reason, so I keep dark wallpapers and suchlike.

I am concerned with why Snarkpit didn't resize Fragmans image????

Normally, all images are resized to 800x600 with a red text message stating so..

Side scrolling suck poopoo.

Sorry to be the guy who sticks out like sore thumb, but is there any trick to making my print screen button work? Assuming that is what you use to take an image of your screen..... :/




Breaking the laws of mapping since 2003 and doing a damn fine job at it

PRT SCR works much like "ctrl C" so when you load your paint editor of choice (IE PSP 9) all you need do is press "ctrl V"

then save as and upload to your host of choice.

I was really tired yesterday and.. I can only take so much stupid then.

Besides, asking for help is not as dumb as doing dumb things without asking.
