[A.D.] GMC Disillusion

Posted by Adventus on Oct. 7, 2007, 1:37 a.m.

Hmmm been ages since I produced a blog….. missed me? Yea I miss me too. You also may have noticed that I crumbled to the pressures of society and put a tag at the beginning of my title.

Now that I've been around the GMC for a while now …

LIFE, Pixel Art & GMFI

Posted by Adventus on June 19, 2007, 12:37 a.m.

PIXEL

Its my 1st attempt at pixeling. What do you reckon?…. Its the avatar of the player in my upcoming game "Tribal". Steal it and witness my wraith noobling.

GMFI

As i guess some of you already know, i recently released GMFI in the dll forum on the GMC. Its …

GM Per-Pixel Bumpmapping

Posted by Adventus on May 3, 2007, 9:48 p.m.

Yea i did it, and pretty fast too…. You can check out the GMC topic (and get the source) here:

L3S_Bumpmapping

It basically works by spliting the Dot3 blendmode into 3 seperate multiplies & add passes, although theres alot more to it than that. And yes this is true perpixel …

Im an Atheist.... + Good "Tribal" pic

Rant: the passage below is purely my opinion, feel free to disagree in the comments….

Yep you heard right, im one of those godless people bent on destroying the human race.

All jokes aside, I really cant understand what the big deal/social taboo is about Atheism. From my experience, Its …

New Game: Tribal & Pics

Posted by Adventus on April 6, 2007, 11:21 p.m.

G'day all,

Given GearGOD's recent troubles and his new found social life, it would appear Kill Catalyst is dead or at least postponed. Although i wasnt really surprised…. i seemed to be that person who says very little (on the forums) but ends up coding everything…. XD. Anyway so …

Alpha Bug.... Actually Useful?

Posted by Adventus on Feb. 19, 2007, 10:45 p.m.

Thats right boys/girls (and inbetweens…. dont want to descriminate now), Pheonix101 (AKA Adventus on GMC) has returned…. Although im willing to bet OpticalLiam is the only one who noticed my absence.

Ill get the boring stuff over first…. aka my life. This is my 2nd day at University (Australian National …

The HDR conspiracy

Posted by Adventus on Nov. 30, 2006, 4:26 a.m.

+ Intro:

HDR seems to be the word of the moment (or acronym as the case may be)….. damn near every new game i see gushes with the magical HDR insignia. Yet, as with many fads, i have often discovered that many people really have no clue what it is. …

More Prettiful Than GearGOD's....

Posted by Adventus on Nov. 4, 2006, 8:18 p.m.

As GearGOD unvieled to you yesterday, the experimental project i was working on was global illumination. Since i've never seen it done in a 2d environment, and even commercial companies have only just started implementing it, it took a little while to get right (and it still isnt perfect). Anyway, …

Un-Ciriboting-Believable

Posted by Adventus on Oct. 27, 2006, 9:08 p.m.

<U><b>RANT:</U> <i>Noob v2</i></b>

It would seem that <b>Topf</b> Area's is back with a vengence. From what i can see all he has removed <b>GearGOD</b>'s Font, but he's still claiming the textured path (+all the other shit) as his own. Also it seems that a mods gone through and removed all …

The Pheonix101 opinion

Posted by Adventus on Oct. 20, 2006, 3:09 a.m.

<b>Rant</b>

I've never really regarded the GMC on the whole as a bad community…. and i still dont, but here is one point which, although pretty thoroughly understood amongst this community, still worthy of discussion.

Noobs (Big surprise….) Im not talking of those appreciative albeit inexperienced GM users, more the …
