Nostalgia brings me back once in awhile

WOW !! 

Just Wow 

Twisted Dirt's still alive and kicking holly crap !!!

Man I have crap load of memories from my MCM2 days.

The surprising thing is my log-in still works haha that's awesome. 

Just wanted to give a shout out to everyone that keeps going strong here. I did purchase Unleashed back in the day but it just wasn't the upgrade I was expecting. I ended up loosing interest. I commend those that have stuck it out. Great Stuff

Well said 

Well since google is so hard to use I will enlighten you.

Leveller is probably your best bet more expensive then the rest. But you pay for what you get.

I listed off the links for all the apps that I posted. I hope that helps.

Geofrac 2000, got legit key for MCM2 creators

World Machine

Leveller

Terragen

All of the above create Fractual Dismaps, if I'm understanding you correctly that is.

Awesome stuff guys, I've said Thanks to you guys many times over the years. You guys have put so much work into MCM2 it just amazes me. You guys even find time to help out on the forums. Just amazing to see such dedication, where so many left and moved on you guys stuck it out, making a great game even better.

(Now thats a role model)

We all know a game shouldn't have to last us 6 years, but I would have to say its been the best dam game for that 6 years. I know if TD  wasn't still doing it's thing I would have been long gone. I did take my share of breaks and admit I don't release to many tracks. But I have to say I keep coming back, the great friends I've made and the many things I've learned.

The worst thing is some day all this hard work will be forgotten, but I will know where I learned and made a lot of friends and that was TD. Sure this may all sound really corny.

But the truth is if it wasn't for TD and MCM2 I wouldn't have had job opportunities with Rainbow Studios and Climax. I knew nothing of computers like I do today. Sure that may sound pathetic, but its true a game taught me more then I can ever express. Hell I've even learned how to take constructive criticism and  give it without blowing up or disrespecting someone. I've also find myself helping others and working with a Team. But I am by no means perfect, but TD, MCM2 and the community have made me a better person.

So I Thank TD for all its hard work and the impact you have made in my life.

Cause I know I appreciate everything you've done.

Regards,

Denny

PS. Now lets make MVA great 

Yeah that was the same problem I was having, I just deleted it from the startup and used my monitor and video card gamma and color settings. So far its the only thing I can get to look close.

There is a ton of info on the net, I didn't get to indepth with it.

I got some other apps with my monitor to calibrate it, but it seemed to always make every thing way to bright.

Maybe try Dells site and see if they have a monitor calibrating program. As I said above I didn't have much luck with the ones Samsung provided with my monitor. But it maybe worth checking out.

The fact it looks fine in PSP is what has me wondering. But for me my gradients were too red, which was because of my monitor.

Photoshop uses a Gamma that can be used to correct the colours in PS, which should load up on the start up of your computer. Which may not be set up right. I'm still having troubles getting the colours right, but so far they aren't near as bad.

If you want to try the Adobe Gamma thing, go into Control Panel double click Adobe Gamma and do the wizard and see if that helps.

Hope that helps. 

Not to steal your guys thread, but I just had to say something lol.

I almost want to go and buy an XBOX 360 for Fight Night Round 3 it looks amazing, I've been following it since I seen the first Trailer of the PS3 version.

I haven't been much of a Boxing fan in the past, but the last few years I've been loving it. Specially with the games coming out, Fight Night Round 2 impressed the hell out of me. But nothing like what Round 3 looks like, it's just uterly awesome.

I totally agree it's like to real boxers going at it, but your controlling one. Dam I'm gettin all excited LOL.

This game definately screams next gen, so far the only one that has imho.

Thanks for the Trailers Mike.

Hey Loz,

Sorry man no harm intended I must of forgotten to add your link and credits when I redid the site last time. My Bad

I do know what it's like not to get credit most of my PS tutorials have been ripped.

But I've gotten over it, not much a person can do. But I've always respected others work, so I apologize.

Regards,

Denny

Edit:

I guess I had the credits on the Sky Cube tutorial.

Added credits to both, sorry again about that.

I have to agree it's a lot easier, but it's still hard to make a killer track. Doesn't matter what tools you have at your disposal it comes down to what you can create with those tools.

And thats why I choose.

Sneer as another creator that just blows me away.

I just felt that some of his efforts may have gone unnoticed by some of the returning members.

Here is a selection of tutorals for MCM2 that I have done.

Mike and Alex you guys a very punny, no pun intended. LOL

Loz,

I wasn't asking for myself, I was more aimed at a general question. What does a person require to become apart of your Team. I think you answered that perfectly with your above post.

But for what quality of TG skills I have well that can be easily answered.

Hey Bro,

Good to see your still around. 

Well that is disappointing news.

Yes Paul does an amazing job with his video tutorials, I'm sure a lot of people will find this tutorial very handy. I personally found it very helpful, but I still find myself crawling back to Photoshop. Just can't get my head around leveller, I do admit a never version would probably help. But I'll wait until MVA comes out to purchase a copy.

But none the less this tutorial has definatly shed some light on how you can actually make tracks in leveller. Cause before I had no idea. LOL

Thanks Again Paul awesome tutorial.

Regards,

I was bored too, naa just thought I'd post it here for all the old guys to check out LOL.
