[gokzor]

Yeh sure fire it to my email adress ill have a look, but to be honest for the game i was creating the soft slightly shadowed edge to the terain was what i was looking for. But looks good man i like it!

With about five minutes of tweaking the shader I was able to make a very cool looking land/ocean borders. PM me and I'll send you the file, Gokzor.

Its tough finding some time to do the voice overs but ill try and do some over the hollidays for you! cheers mate.

Oh sure, we're all taking it easy over the break, was just curious if we could get some more voice overs. Otherwise you can't really read the text so it's like watchin some guy work which is cool but ...

Right now I'm cheating and just doing a quick paint up in Zbrush with poly painting, but you're doing the more traditional work-flow along with some nice little tricks and tips that'd it'd be fun to follow. Whenever you get the chance, it's all good if its not until the new year. Cheers

Awesome tuts, any chance you're going to make the other ones with voice overs as well? I'm particularly intersted in the texturing parts since that's what I'm newest to and following exactly what's going on in photoshop can be a little tough. Appreciated regardless, very nice!

No probs! check the site soon for the model tutorial i have done 5 videos creating a basic model in max, creating the high poly for the normal map, texturing it and then taking it into unreal. Ill get those online as soon as iv added the voice over...

I really like it a lot, but if I had to make a crit:

I like 3 out of 4 perspectives, but the front angle perspective (the bottom right) looks kinda bleh to me. I think the reason is it looks kinda uniform/chubby from that perspective. Personally, I would taper from back to front (front slightly more narrow) and bottom to top (top more narrow). Pinch in the front and the top a bit and it might break up that sorta boring silhouette. Just my 2 cents, otherwise I love it.
