Heheh the oil submerged computer, we did something similar to this in my dorm room at uni, but we used motor oil instead and the internal hardware would not die Sarah because the propeties, density, and texture of oil as you know is a lubricant so if you get just the right density for the parts that need to turn, click, move and if they are able to do that with ease then it works liek a charm.. unfortunately we didnt use anything higher than a p1 processor just incase our calculations were wrong but it ran until the parts died due to natural causes lol.P.S The oil starts to smell after a bit

Hey, get to use the manip sigs http://img359.imageshack.us/img359/8246/revnip6el.png GL2ALL Hehehe was there ever a doubt i didnt use a photo, but ill take it as a compliment. http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/5184/londonbr2xt.jpg Notice from jlhaslip: merged posts to include link to pix and editted bbcode while doing so.

Depending in the situation i have used maya , autocad , 3dstudio and Ulead 3d since i am in computer systems engineering and do have a few hobbies with 3d movie snippets. I have even tried massive! which is the 3d fighting engine used in lord of the rings and narnia. Out of the lot AutoCAD would definitely be the hardest to get used to since even i still sit with my 5000 page manual whenever i am putting a design set together but like all programs the more yuo use them the easier it becomes so i must admit playing with all of these programs im really not proficient as i should be or would have been if i chose just one.

I prefer using their render section and making my own templates from them since most or alot of the renders are not used in their own templates, i also use the renders in my sigs so it is an all round resourceful site. also to note alot of good templates from upcoming designers are available for download from the forum itself and not usually showcased on the site unless you are part of the CT team, so if at first you dont find what you are looking for in the main page try searchig the forums. Included in the forum is a good critique section so you already know if the general public and designers like the template you may want to use but also keep in mind the most popular ones are probably used all over the internet.

I agree with bash 18 i am a winrar user aswell, due to the one right click extraction system for any of the compression types i have come across once setup its is literally a click away from extraction. But going the other way there is also many ways to compress to store from media such as floppy disks to dvds all auto sized in a simple wizard.

The situation is a sad one, and unfortunately it has been tainted yet again by a few mishaps that i am sure nobody intended to happen, ive heard stories of people making jokes n situations of death and the "boy who cried wolf" syndrome but im sure no CEO or rescue staff set out to create a pranks or keep the hope alive. What i can say though is the press are to blame ...yup, typical rush for the story break the latest headlines no matter what the cost and no regard for the emotions of the families involved. Thank you sunblind and warbird for keeping us updated as we only received a 30 second segment on the "mining tragedy mishap" on our 8 pm news.My thought go out to those who are grieving and in mourning.I hope nobody loses their job over this mistake and if anything maybe a lesson needs to be learnt.

For me it would have to be Final Fantasy 8, there has usually been another part to the FF series released at each step of technologies progess, but none more profound than 8 - it rivaled any or all other rpgs out at that time with a superb storyline, supremem character detail, brilliant plot twists, exceptional graphics and all round intensity from the mobs to the weapon and action sets.For the most incorporated one though my vote goes to the MMORPG Final Fantasy 11 Online.

Wow sounds like your town stays quiet for a while just to build up to big events. I hope the miners will be alright and im sure they have alot of family and most of the town worried about them. Unfortunately im on the other side of the world so i will not be able to keep up on the events happening Thomasville but im sure you can keep us posted here.

Welcome to Asta im sure you will fit right in here and the hosting is exceptional as im sure you will soon find out, and i think its great that you provide web sets for free i did have a browse and you are very telented, the one i liked personally was "lost in thought".Enjoy it here and hope to see more of your work.

Umm can we have a link on the disk or maybe a you would care to elaborate a bit on the subject, i mean this is a real teaser, holo disks sound interesting ..maybe google is in order.

Yes thanks for sharing this with us even though i must say it is not suprising in the least. This is the way companies and their respective "partners" have been doing business for years ...tell me which Microsoft computer running after windows 98 second edition can recognise a 5.5 inch floppy drive ... Its just another way to allow for product rollover and create the "next generation" for the consumers. And im sure alot more than DVD roms will not be supported.

Im sure that sole realised this and im sure other users will to and only those confident enough to want to change these settings will attempt to do so, and the instructions provided are to the point and easy to follow so im sure nothing can go wrong in the way of registry or any of the other settings. To put people at ease though i know everyone likes to see a "how to reverse these changes" section so next time maybe tell them that it IS possible to delete and reverse changes made to your computers registry and maybe een a little tutorial on doing a registry backup soleimanian.

Possibly due to the age of the game the company in this case Sierra i believe has stopped the online servers and or the updates that is needed and tools and add ons ..so on.I suggest two things sincei have not played tribes is to use google and search for patches online updates and the like and you will find plenty of fan or gamer sites with the archives of all the patches you need.The next step is to again use google to find online communities of the game who may still have servers runing themselves or links to others.And if you still need more maybe try independant server searching programs such as the all seeing eye, and if i am not mistaken Sierra teamed up with such a program called GameSpy.Hope this helps and happy gaming.

Yes this is a big step for intel and about time i say, they have provided great products for years and i felt for the last few they have been relying more on the product name than the actual products themselves to keep the business flowing. So with this change i hope they do step up a notch and start making really competitive gaming products to match AMD who currently have a stronghold on the area of the market with the intense set of gaming chips they have- and hopefully to us the consumer means we will finally get a good deal on chips *fingers crossed.And yes as xboxrulz has said the slogan parodies were becoming old fast, so i guess i have to throw away my t-shirt now with the caption "evil inside" cos the next generation junkies wouldnt have a clue

My vote goes to SN for the sweet bg and glows, sumthing diff also.Avalon: 0DjLuki: 1Dawiss: 0Saint-Michael: 0Mayank: 0Snlildude87: 1Samma: 0

Heh SM u might have seen my ramble on this but the first is absolutely cool, everything blends perfectly, just that there is 2 lines going across her face and if thats part of the render then thats cool, for the second one the render choice and left side of the sig looks great i just dont like the colour of the background on the right side, it dulls the sig too much and nice effect with the scanlines.

The blending in the sigs are well done and i do like the banner you made up top it certainly fits a global theme. The animation sig is nice aswell, have you tried placing a sprite background on it - there are a few sites around that offer sprite backgrounds i came across a few while trying my hand at sprite sigs. From the others the one just above the animation sig would be my favourite if you can clear up his face - its a bit patchy

Wicked cool sig SM, i agree with tech that it is within the boundaries especially compared to some of the sigs i have created. Really digging the background and if i give these kind of sigs a try i will try and make the background interact with the render like smoke for ur sig here ..hehe anyway good job

Heh cool i get to post to all of them in a row instead of a seperate post ^^The mario set is sleek and blended well but if it was my choice i feel red and blue are more the mario colours instead of red and green. For the fps sig maybe a bit more depth to the background for a jungle feel. The megaman is pro with the backgrond and animation of the sig and its not too busy at all really good layout. nice layer effects in the prince of persia sig i agree with techocin on maybe gettin git to reach out. The grunge tech bounty hunter i feel the sig background does not matche the render maybe sum blue and purple in the plain white tech brushes woud have blended it together. And as manyhave said before your paper master sig is beautiful but the name text doesnt look as good as it could be. Great set as always looking forward to the next set.

First of i must say that they are very eye catching and do go into a bit of detail, for some constructive critism though i suggest not using a blur on the render or any part of the sig that is going to be outside the borders becuase when you do start to use png format or optimization of the sigs then you will notice a severe degrade in colours and blending and the opcaity of the blurs itself. the first one is great except for the shading of the render on the sig, i am not sure if it is the render that is causing those black spots or if its just empty but to keep it flowing i would fill up the big patches of black on the background lilke others have suggested. I totaly agree with SM that the second is way to busy partly caused by the blur and the large transperant text, the contrast is also a bit too high on the right side and your right side border also faded away. once those have been fixed the sigs should look mint.

S_M:0Dawiss:1Avalon:0Frozen:0Mayank:0Truefusion:2Truefusion for an excellent background and blending

Rofl you guys are so taken in by commercialism its not funny, green red all that stuff all comes from advertising and santa claus came from coke .... no not that kind, the one you drink, thats right an advertising agent made the jolly old guy while working for coca cola. Warbird has the essence of it all from the words in "christ"mas with the star of david so i guess thats all he needs for a christmas sig but maybe what u need today to catch the attention of the masses is two words on your sig warbird "free" "stuff" and then it wouldnt even matter if u had pink and brown you would be noticed ^^

Hey , so now that you have the art of uploading brushes done we can see some nice sigs from you even though at the moment im sure you can make a few default sig tutorials because you have some really good effects going on but you just need to tweak somethings or remove and add others, for example, in the first one the background and border and text all fit well together but the render just doesnt go and since you are using defaults the backgrounds tend to look like a pattern if its placed like your first one so in future either make the render alot bigger maybe the face of that guy and try some colour balances on the renders to get them matching the rest of the sig, Also you can place the render in the middle and make sure it is reaching from top to bottom and close to 50 % of the sig so that again the background will be broken up.Now the second one is even better i agree with you and your chance effect is a nice touch there is a few things u can work on such as adding a colour balance also to this to take of that yellow glow and bring in some blue to match the rest. Now to complete that crack effect i would hav erased the bottom part of the sword using a soft brush so that it looks like the sword is in the ground or cracks so on or you could just extand your layer mask you used on the render to make sure it takes most of the sort out, but thats pretty tricky to get it to follow the cracks so instead a layer reavel all and then using the black and white brushes to reveal otr hide parts of the render.Good job techocian keep it up.

Nice 1 mayank ^^ looking good in 17 also

My vote goes to Mayank, good use of render parts in background and subtle also.saint-michael:0mareck:0mayank:3$upa pimp:0avalon:0reaver:0
