Re: My development diary for Sandbox~
It certainly is nice to get to see new screens every day of your terrific work. I have started posting some at moddb as well. What degree are you working on and where do you currently work? If it isn't too private anyway Take care and best of luck with everything that is going on!

Re: My development diary for Sandbox~
Hi Mike,
I am currently in graduate school working on my masters of computer science. I work as an Adjunct teacher for the local colleges around my city, I currently teach at the Associates level. Once I finish my masters I will move on to get my PHD, and then I will apply for a professorship so I can be a professor of computer science.
Always~

Re: My development diary for Sandbox~
That's really interesting that you and I are following a similar career path. I'm thinking about going for my masters in technology so that I can teach at the grade school level or college level or both. I love teaching at schools, but even when I subbed there is just so much craziness going on with the adults and such. I currently teach game design at a local college as an adjunct, though work has been more infrequently lately. At least I make it up a bit when doing the various summer camps using Sandbox. If I go after my masters I should have a much easier time landing a position since there are a lot of teaching jobs out there but they almost all require a masters. Are doing your masters online or a local college? Also if you live down south and want to recommend your area or any place, haha, I am very much looking to make a southern migration out of NY, haha. Sorry to get off topic a little, if it continues much more I'll just PM you. Take care!

Re: My development diary for Sandbox~
Dec 23 2009, Day 9
Today I worked on the architecture of my castle to refine its overall look; I also added some greenery and a fence. I need to work on getting alpha textures in the game so I can make a fence with graphics rather than models. I’m sure that would save me several thousand polygons.

Re: My development diary for Sandbox~
try using blendmap with your grass and the path.
Re: My development diary for Sandbox~
I wish I knew how Will, I haven't used blendmap yet so I have no idea what tool to use to make it work.

Re: My development diary for Sandbox~
I did mention blendmap a bit, I think in this thread (and how to use it) but for some more info and pictures you can check here:
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=388
I think that about covers it. To get the syntax to add them to your own textures just check out /data/default_map_settings.cfg Take care!
