Ok heres are some shots of head hunters. Ive been on this a while and its comming along very well.

Look at all shots before posting please so you have a bit better Idea of whats going on with it.
You will dig up coins that make your totem more powerful all the while changing you. There will be many different totems. Digging is fun and you can break the coin or affect the value. Finding them is tough but also a good part of the fun. your able to sell or keep the coins for your totem. Loads to do and I have a whole lot to the story line just dont want to post it all here.

Yup, very nice. Framerate seems a bit low on some shots though (although I realize its a WIP)

Yep, I have much of that solved. None of it is LOD yet. But That will be incorporated.
I just havent updated the pics. Im replacing the sphere with a sky box. And many texture have been reduced in size Im up to about 40 + FPS right now But it is a wip.
Ill optimize it after I get all of the mechanics done but I dont think Ill have a real problem with frame rate.
Problem is every time I get the frame rate back up. I add something more then start the process again.
Thanks for the coments.


One thing I wrestling with is how to light map it. I have c shop. I havent messed with the lights in DBpro much still fairly new to DBP. Can I get them to cast blob shadows on my .x level without too much performance loss ?
If not Ill have to light map it in C-shop and then its double polys and Ill have a whole lot of optimizing to do. Havent decided the best way to go here. I may use max to make an overhead shot with shadows and make a new ground texture but this poses a whole new set of positioning problems. Any thoughts here are welcome.

Gile[s] can make .DBO lightmaps which means a single multitextured mesh instead of 2 seperate meshes and ZDepth headaches.

It's looking cool - if there was 1 thing I'd say that the ambient light seems a bit high, meaning there's not a lot of shading going on despite the point you make about lighting. You should try setting the ambient lighting downto 30 or so, it would make your models shade a lot better while you ponder lightmapping methods.

other than that it is coming along very well, should be good fun when a demo comes out.
