Hey everyone , this is my first post. I had a bit of trouble yesterday cause well I was getting use to everything but take a look, criticise and give me lots of feedback!!!

This year will see the first international competition to create a perfect computer game playing bot – a bot that you can't distinguish from a human player.
The 2K Bot Prize Contest will take place this December, as part of the Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Games, in Perth, Western Australia. Australian game development company 2K Australia (creator of the award-winning BioShock) is providing a sizable prize of $7,000 cash plus a trip to their Canberra studio for the team that can…
Well, here is the second concept for my character. Just a quick sketch to get my ideas down on paper.. I'm still not happy with her, so she will change again.
I have changed the dogs to wear armour. The two next to her are her bodyguards, so they will don some heavy equipment. I will probably only end up modelling her and the two main dogs, I may paint the rest into the background? We'll see.
For the girl, she now has "Scene" hair! I have added an armband to her with a few stripey tails…

pssst! Wanna see something pretty cool? tsumea wiki is back, and it's much beefier and cooler than it used to be! The new tsumea wiki is running on Mediawiki, so if you're used to using and editing pages on Wikipedia, you'll have no problems with this. We've got Google maps and Google street view sorted out (which provided more than a few headaches to get in), and I'll write a short tutorial for anyone wanting to enter the location details of their studio themselves later on, but it looks…
For those planning to import their copy of Fallout 3 to avoid the silly changes to meet our games classification, you need not bother anymore. It looks like Fallout 3 developer, Bethesda, want to bypass any more problems that other countries might have with the use of morphine in-game by having the edited Fallout 3 that passed Australia's OFLC scrutiny to be the version that is distributed around the world come October.

It goes rather slowly but- hey, no rush, I am doing it for pleasure (at least this time). Having UV mapping in place I can now make high res version for normal mapping.
