It's probably within these 150 some pages already but we need more feminine attire!!! A few dresses would be nice. Maybe shoes or hair ties or jewelry? Dare I say makeup?

These armors and boots are too manly for us to wear all the time. 

This is why we can't have nice things.

A couple of questions:

- Why couldn't you just link to those tutorials instead of copy/pasting them? You do know that the internet is vast, vast place, and that it features lots of useful tutorials, and that it was created around this neat little idea called hypertext that frees you from the obligation of copy/pasting any information you find interesting.

Here, I'll do it for you:
Normalmapping in General http://www.svartberg.com/tutorials/article_normalmaps/normalmaps.html#1.1
Normalmaps Explained http://www.pinwire.com/art-design/generating-high-fidelity-normal-maps-with-3-d-software
Character Creation http://www.marcusdublin.com/ParagalisTutorialPage1.html

- I can't find any mention on those websites that one should "Feel free to re-post these anywhere"

What I could find though was things like "all rights reserved", "All artwork, content, and any other material on this website is © Marcus Dublin 2009,2010,2011" and such.

Caym - what's your point?

My point is that this is very bad, and denotes a complete lack of both talent and skill.

Don't feed the trolls.

Ah, it seems we have somewhat of a DeviantArt mojo going on here.
By blindly praising whatever crap gets posted, you think you're doing the poster a favor, and therefore allow yourself to dismiss any actual criticism as "trolling" from what you perceive as a moral high ground.

However, by rejecting the very idea of pointing out shortcomings in the "art" that is posted, you actually encourage the aspiring artists to wallow in mediocrity. Certain that they have already attained excellence, they will never try to better themselves, and will therefore never feel the true joy and pride born from knowing you're better than you were, that your relentless work has born fruit, that you have overcome a weakness, perfected a talent, reached what a few days before was unreachable.
And instead of the true glory genuine praise, all they get is half-hearted, distracted congratulations from illiterate sheep that couldn't spare more than a passing glance and a few short words to make themselves feel magnanimous.

So, no, you're not helping. I am.

Try again.

No. Please never try again. Stay away from Photoshop. Forever.

Remembrance of Things Past  comes in at 1.5m words.  
Shakespeare's plays (his plays only, not including his sonnets) stands at 928,913.
Warand Peace stands proud at 560,000.
The Brothers Karamazov is a mere 366,653 .
Ulysses stands at a comparatively anemic 265,000.
Uncle Tom's Cabin is a measly 180,242.

This comes to a total word count of 3,800,808. This doesn't include any of Tom Stoppard's plays, or Plato or Kafka or John Fowles or "who knows what else".

The higher end reading speed for an English speaking adult is 250 words per minute (a higher speed is not possible for any length of time owing to impaired information acquisition). Assuming you were achieving this high end reading speed, and assuming you were locked in a room and were reading non-stop for 24 hours a day, without pause, without sleep, without food, those 3,800,808 words would have taken you 15,203 minutes, or 253 hours, or just under 11 days.


Yet you managed to do this while working, and while reading a lot else, in just 14 days. Amazing.

I think he meant to say he read the Cliff Notes. Or possibly the Cliff Notes' summaries.

I thought Twilight was very well written and very immersive.

To each our own tastes. I've tried to get into that series, my girlfriend originally proposed me to read them, claiming they were great, promising me I wouldn't regret it. The start was quite doable but as I read on it became more and more dragging and stale to me. Though I enjoy her company I must say I've never forgiven her for this.

One would indeed expect men to feel threatened by those books in that they can't possibly live up to the expectations created by them in terms of relationship commitment, romanticism and adventure.

Just passing by to bump my oooold icon thread. If anyone wants to use/convert/put them in a library file or whatever, feel free to.

I can hardly believe that in an open-source game community, supposedly based on sharing and helping eachother, and that uses bittorrent - which very principle is to give as much as you take - no one has the frigging common sense to seed the file...
Someone please do.
