Win a gaming computer, Halo
Interesting in winning an Alienware Area-51 Ultimate Gaming Machine PC... or some cool Halo schwag? Stop by The Gamestop/Alienware Sweepstakes, and enter today! (Prizes to be awarded in 2004.) Thanks to Strato for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 18:13:11 UTC) (permalink)
Sidewinder Saga comes to an end
Bummer. MIssed this yesterday - thanks to Blade for the heads-up. Sidewinder Saga, an ongoing story from Halogamers.com in the genre started by Red vs Blue (but with a different focus), has closed its doors. Dave writes that he's just bored with Halo. And so it goes... (Louis Wu 18:06:28 UTC) (permalink)
A homemade MC
You folks might remember Chris Bryan. He makes some kickass Halo-related stuff (both in traditional and digital format)... well, he's turned in another impressive tidbit. He's not very happy with this one:
I found this little test render here from the animation I did for class.
Its really short, and the timing is bad.. I animated this with a 300MHz PC and an old FireGL 1 card that ran Maya at 10-12 FPS on with an empty grid, NO GEOMETRY!
With all that negative press, you might think the actual render stinks... you'd be dead wrong. Check it out: 9 seconds long, QT format, 640x480, about 1.3 mb. Wouldn't it be cool to use this system to make a Halo movie? (Louis Wu 14:35:09 UTC) (permalink)
