  1. Guys,
    On behalf of the HPS crew, thank you for all the positive feedback!
    While we're all gamers in some way, four of us are rabid CoH/V players, and have been for a little while. So this game is like home...

    We will work hard to be worthy of your kind words!
    Thank you for giving us a shot.
  2. Frozen,
    Thank you for de-jargoning the tech stuff. I rarely think to do that.
  3. I wish I could say I did it all on my own!
    Being much more artsy than math-y, I can only say, emphatically: "I HELPED!!!"

    We're really lucky to have some very smarty-smartypants computer guys in our little family.

    ETA: The SSA engine also isn't, strictly speaking, a render engine. More of a materials protocol that calculates light attenuation.
    (Our other resident Mac-Addict told me to add that.)
  4. Pencils and "analog" art will be added to the core repertoire in the near future.
  5. The ad images you see are examples of the Deluxe Studio Bust. It is not currently available...

    It is a hyper-realistic rendition of your character, using a technique I've been developing for the past several months, including cutting-edge material structures and rendering technology:
    - Image Based Lighting
    - HPS proprietary SubSurface Scattering engine
    - 100% Individualized Ambient Occlusion per object and/or per object group
    - Optimized morphs for figure meshes guarantee a unique face for your unique character
    - Photo-real multi-level translucent core texture maps for all figures' skin

    There are, of course, other ways to achieve similar results. I probably shouldn't go into details because then the secret technique wouldn't be... well, you know. Secret.
  6. No worries, Alpha...
    A) We're not going anywhere!
    B) If you're really into the quality of the work, then stay tuned to the site... we're looking toward doing some cheap and/or free downloads in the near future.

    Thanks for the positive feedback! :-)
  7. Hey all.
    Uziel21 here...

    The HPS Gallery is on the "ART" page.

    LOTS of CoH/CoV stuff to noodle over... :-)
