HaloDev Feature Focus - Normal Mapping
HaloDev has posted a 'Feature Focus' article - the first in a series of articles that will highlight various features of the upcoming Prometheus tool they've been working on for a while. This one looks at Normal Mapping (a variant of bumpmapping), and how Bungie uses it - and it has a fantastic example put together by Veegie. Check it out! (Louis Wu 15:40:42 UTC) (permalink)
Warmness on the Soul, and movie administrivia
bryboy remix sent us a link to a movie he's made that's being hosted by mythica.org; it's a music video, set to Avenged Sevenfold's 'Warmness on the Soul' (WMP9, 66 mb). I'm not sure I know what's going on in it - but it's pretty; nice camera angles, interesting effects. I'd like to take this opportunity to explain what's going on with our own movie hosting; the recoding of the MPRRS got backed up in December because Cybrfrk found himself on an extended trial during jury duty. He'll be back on the job to finish the new features up in the next few weeks; we'll be back online in January sometime, if all goes well. In the meantime, we may offer hosting to movies we see that really impress us, but if you have a movie with its own hosting (mythica or elsewhere), your best bet is to post a link on our forum. It's from there that I'll pull movies that I think we can host. Please don't email us with your links - post them on our forum. (That way, even if I don't get to it, the forum crowd will see it - and might give you feedback about it.) Thanks! (Louis Wu 15:39:24 UTC) (permalink)
And Do They Drink Capuchino?
Wow, that's gotta be one of the most groanworthy titles for a One One Se7en comic ever. (Louis Wu 13:55:31 UTC) (permalink)
A Travesty Against Nature - but oh so cool
Elnea wrote to point out a creation so cool it's hot - hot pink, that is. She's done a boatload of work to add Spartan Armor to... Barbie. Yes, Barbie. (Image is just under 200k.) She's got removable helmet bits (she needs them, because her head is so big that when the helmet is on, she can't move her head), and modifications that include the following mixed media: acrylic, mache, synthetic fiber, ceramic. Next up - a GI Joe jeep modded to function as a warthog... if you've got an RvB account, swing by and tell her how awesome this is. (Louis Wu 13:52:58 UTC) (permalink)

Major Silva stopped by to announce the opening of the UNSCDF Blog, where staffers from that Halo news site can better express their personal opinions. Swing by to read opinions about Ghosts of Onyx. (Louis Wu 13:47:25 UTC) (permalink)
Halo news important in 2006, says IGN
Yesterday, Sniping Ajax pointed out that IGN posted their 2006 wrapup video - top 10 gaming news items from the past year. Halo made number 10, mostly on the strength of the X06 info (Halo Wars, Peter Jackson's new stuff) plus news of the upcoming Halo 3. (Louis Wu 13:45:40 UTC) (permalink)
