EVE General Discussion

WTF CCP!.

How about you use those artists and make starbases less of a pain in the ass, for example?

Edit: nevermind, I shouldn't be too surprised, considering.

They aren't really, from what i gathered is they just gave him the tools to make the avatar and clothes work in the Incarna system and the devs sat back and watched their creation start showing its full potential (graphically and aesthetically wise) while maybe giving tool usage tips along the way (like exporting clothes in just the right way to be compatible with the system) and they let Formichetti do it all.

Once you get used to the shock, it's actually not a bad idea. In fact, I'll have to admit that blurring the lines between the RL and VR fashion industries has the serious potential to be a brilliant, market changing move.

3 words.


CCP Vampire game.

I have CQ off when i play the game.

That said, it is surprisingly cool to watch that ZombieBoy do the catwalk, Incarna engine at its finest. I like the whole deal with the fashion designer and I like how RL blends with virtual clothing, making trends, etc.

I think people should be more open to innovation and new ideas, these are the things that make us better.

Using Carbon for more than EVE was the point from the start, as far as I remember. Allowing external artists to work with the character creation engine is hardly a problem. If anyhting, it is quite innovative.

Then why does it state that talent artist and programmers from CCP, creators of the game EVE Online, put this together for the fashion show?

Yes, because letting fashion designers and artists who know NOTHING about game design or programming mess with Eve's mechanics is an awesome idea.

Just because someone works for a games studio it doesn't mean they have to be proficient in game design or programming.

9 times out of 10 artists, writers and suchlike have a basic and fundamental grasp, if that.

You might want to get a clue about how a games company works and what each department does before you start making assumptions.

To educate the people out there on why this is a great thing I post this.


Hey we are CCP we teamed up with Nvidia and a few other people to create this new carbon engine to make our incarna.

So you fashion people should look at this.


Fashion people: OMG ITS SO SHINEY AND PRETTY!! Can we use this for the huge new york fashion show and show off your great engine?


CCP: yeah for a price.



New york fashion show: OOOOO! So a gaming company did this and this is what it can do? You know this would be a great product to buy so we can design fashions and test them out proper before we hit the real runway.


Fashion industry : CCP can we has epic product.

CCP: yes but you have to pay us with developers and server upgrades.

Fashion guys : done

Word spreads on this new system.

Other mmo developers: QQQQQQQ Why is everyone buying CCP's products and not ours? Remember everyone hated their incarna and stuff. I guess to keep up we have to have more items for sale, and charge more for expansions.


TL:DR - CCP prolly hit a gold mine with this stuff which IF utilized properly and marketed correctly, could provide huge funding for CCP which means hire more devs, hire more gm's. Development gets done faster, more internet spaceships for us.

I think this is something many don't get.

I'm an avid critic of CCP and gave them alot of smack last three months. But one thing I won't give them **** for is, is using resources for out-of-EVE productions. Take a look at EA, or Blizzard, or smaller companies. Almost every single one of them has several productions being paid for by their bigger or main product. And hell this is not only game industry, same for cars, electronics, etc.. not to mention that in this case CCP can even learn something from the process.

Giving someone **** is one thing, but it should be deserved, not just random pointing of fingers.
