That was photosourced I assume...? Bit too much reflection off the upper sufaces towards the left :/ But rust is nice anyway. 

mmm, beer...I need beer. And stuff. 

yes, since i'm just learning photography i made that mistake. realised it after i was far away from the object and looked at the foto on the big screen.
i'll re-shoot this rusted piece properly though :) 

Fixed those white-ish parts on the rust

Von, use the dodge and burn tools in photoshop to bring it together, no need to reshoot the image. Dodge makes lighter and burn makes darker. You can get rid of nasty highlites, and other scanner artifacts as well using them. 

uh, will try that, thanks
but why not to re-shoot if i can? i have to raise my photoskillz up, to reduce post-shooting image editing as much as i can :) 

Alternatively, you can just scansource an object directly.
And when it comes to seamlessly tesselating the a texture and removing artifacts, use the 'heal' tool ( the lil band-aid icon ); that's what it's designed for. 

there is no point to photoshop yourself, leave it to me :)
just make more material shots at the close range and direct angle please

some industrial details at close range would be neice as well 

basically, i'm looking for something like System Shock 2.

good, engaging story
SP
Sci-Fi prefered...
attention to detail
made at least after and including 2000.

any thing? 

Played Elite Force? Definitely not scary, but interesting. There's also Deus Ex which everyone should play if they haven't already. None of these are horror, mind you. Undying is a good shot if that's what you're after, but it's more fantasy than sci-fi. 

Not related to anything, but...

Here's a text-based adventure game that even incompetents can play: http://digital-eel.com/dod/

It's called Dunjon Of D�m, and is created by Zdim. 

EF2 looks incredible, download the demo and check it out! Its great and actually enjoyable for non Star Trek fans... 

Aliens vs Preadtor 2 would be my first recommendation.

and Elite force too. And yes with the talented level/model design team at Ritual, EF2 does look very nice and more importantly playable on my now near ancient gf + p3-733. 

fallout 1/2

not Sci-Fi : mororwind 

nice work phait. how's your textures doing?

are you making anything atm? 

i played the Elite Force demo a year ago, thought about buying it then just plain forgot about it. :P

both Fallouts look cool, but i was really looking for a fp game.

about AvP2, do you need to play the original to get the sequel? (like SS2) 

Nope. Totally self-contained AFAIK. Pretty involving too =).

DX is the closest to SS2 obviously. Other games mention will fit the rest of your criteria.

If you broaden your search to simpler FPS games in fantasy/realish, I'd recommend Undying, Wheel Of Time and RTCW. 

Doom 3 and Dino Crisis 3 (XBox, though I don't currently own one). Halo's supposed to have been good but I didn't like what I playtested at the store for 20 minutes.

I'm an older games junkie for some reason. Stuff like Front Mission 3, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 7, Dino Crisis, Quake1, etc lights my fancy. Though I really do enjoy the new games, as long as they're a game instead of a graphics engine showoff... Stuff like Metal Gear Solid 2, UT (not 2003), Starcraft, etc.

I liked Ratchet & Clank, too. :) 

I tried.

I haven't done any Quake related stuff for quite awhile, been focusing on my art.

Quit my job for it... now that's passion! ^_^ 

MGS2 was a game? 

Free add-on, apparently (no RTCW required).

Drowning in the s4wk... 

With talk of System Shock 2, I thought this deserved a mention for those that didn't see it in #terrafusion:

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/etienne.aubert/sshock/sshock_rebirth.htm

It's a remodelling project that aims to recreate the System Shock 2 models in higher res. It looks really good, and when he releases it I'll reinstall the game and play through it again. 

coolness! thanks, rpg! 

then it's not an add-on.
