Source engine art

[sesar]

Ohhh mai..........that's the word that comes 2 one's mind when he see's
the creame' of game graphic's "source " game engine frm valve software...





Wid d introduction of HI res textures, HDRI lighting, more polygonic
characters the envolope fr graphics is pushed a step further....and
this is just the current generation





looking at its high res images...it is clear that games will soon require
equally serious work as movies..no more low poly characters, painted
lights, empty bump maps....check it out fr yourself...























well...i have more..will update it later on along wid a link to its tech demo...enjoy

Half Life 2: Lost Coast Review done by me.



@ sesar: talking abut technology in games yeah HL 2 latest enhancement
in the engine does shows wht we can expect from future games, I also
recommend u to chk Project Offset site which I believe is the best
game engine till date. And not to forget other various engine like
Unreal Engine 3,RTE 1080 Engine (War Devil game) etc etc.. Future game
has a lot in store for us gamers and also the game developers.
