that whole site actually, is an indispensable resource for learning OpenGL.
That single site and a n openGL book was how i learned it.

sparker,
cel-shading is best done with Cg, but you can get fairly decent looking effects with plain on polygons.
Here's an OpenGL tutorial on cel-shading
http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/les…I wrote a little cel-shader renderer for OGRE, but since they're just now starting to incorporate Cg into the renderers, im stopping work on that and waiting to do it in Cg.

same ole, same ole.
:)
so anyway, i want to learn how to do cell shading in a game. i love realistic rendering...but there is something cool about well done cell shading.
:)
too bad the few games to come out with it don't live up to expectations.

sparker, I believe you are alone.

i say, if you want to use pirated software, then crack it yourself.
if you're going to do it, don't just download the app, a crack or serial and use it...
break out that decompiler and hex editor and get to work.

you can write off business expenses on your taxes.
it is cost effective to purchase your shit.
:)
plus, if you ever get audited you don't get ass raped.
the chief isp in columbia was audited and had to pony up 90k per instance of illegal microsoft software.
it nearly killed their business.
and, their just a small isp. it's not like they were a multi-national corporation or anything...

word, that's what i was talking about in the beginning - backbone. admitting it instead of trying to pull a ham hocked moral manipulation into making yourself feel better about doing it without having to admit it :)

i don't have time for any real freelance gigs working full time and commuting two hours a day... i'm lucky to be able to work on my skate site! if i ever took up the design/develop biz as a home business i would just go get a business loan and get all up to code. hopefully by the time the upgrades came out i'd be able to afford it.

i gave up on that. everything i need to work with is on linux.
besides, i like the gtk library a lot for ui development.
- toastie0
hehe, yeah.
Tryin to walk the fine line between design and nerddom :P

you know, i can tolerate pirating a copy from your office that the office paid for the license.
(as long as you're not using it for client work...)

i've been freelancing, mostly for promotions and entertainment companies, but i really want to get out of it and get into a firm.
- tfs__mag0
man, gangstas don't pay fo shit! I'll straight up GAFFLE Adobe.
actually.... i use my employers copy. but that's not much better than stealing it. *hangs head in shame
- sparker0
sweet.
so, you're one of the other 3 linux users here, huh?
:)
i think it's you, me, chl and there's maybe one other...
hehe.
- toastie0
cool,
i've been working on a game for the past 4-5 months
Anyway, Im useing the OGRE engine for it. it's the best open-source engine so far, and i think ive tried them all. Fuckin beautiful API, and friendly developers too. Check it out.

thought it was jersey, are you working for a firm now vena, or strictly freelance?

i might be flying out to nyc sometime early next year. i've got a couple of friends living in nyc. one is a computer geek - he is in ai development and something else beyond me...his roommate (both missouri boys like me) is an actor, professor, etc and looks a lot like andre the giant.
he's kinda hard to miss. :)
