Hello citizens of the W3D world! Today is the day when we open the gates of the W3D Tutorials section of the forum to everyone. We promised a tutorials database back in February when the website has launched and we have achieved just that. This new forum area will hopefully help everyone who is looking to learn how to use the W3D Engine! About the tutorials Back in 2002, when C&C Renegade was released, Westwood provided the community a little "HowTo" package that explained how to create your own vehicles, characters, weapons, etc. for the W3D Engine. Shortly after, the community created lots of tutorials themselves. The biggest of the sites hosting them is not reachable anymore, but Läubi's Renhelp website is still alive and kickin'! These tutorials helped to expand everyone's knowledge of the W3D Engine and provide step by step instructions on how to to make your creations come to life within the game! So what's new? We have been working hard to revive old, forgotten and deleted tutorials by locating, reformatting and updating them. With help from oxi and Strike we were able to recover a lot of the tutorials that used to be on MP-Gaming.com's forums. All of these tutorials, new and old, are either free to distribute (and the authors are credited everywhere) or the original authors have given us permission to re-host them here. The tutorials that we have copied were heavily scrutinised and hand picked by us, as there were a lot of tutorials that were either too poorly written/old or they covered the same/similar game areas. This means that you will not find any low quality tutorials hosted here. More importantly though, there is now a huge amount of completely new tutorials that we can guarantee that you have never ever seen before on other websites! The future We will continue to add tutorials as new features become available in the engine and we will keep our eyes open for your feedback on existing tutorials as well as requests for new ones! If you want to add your own tutorials, go right ahead! Please bear in mind that they will need to be approved by an admin or moderator though! Check out the tutorials section here!

Hey guys, so during my sandbox (searching for myself) phase I got a bit of a tiberium fever and this is what I ended up making. Here is the full album : http://imgur.com/a/FktwT and a link to the workshop file on steam : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=291766279 and some of the images from the album:

Syndicate is currently free on Origin https://www.origin.com/en-gb/store/free-games/on-the-house it's a pretty old but decent enough tactical turn based strategy game in the Xcom vein of things. also GOG has a free games page here: http://www.gog.com/games##sort=bestselling&price=free&page=1 I'd recommend Beneath a Steel Sky which is a point and click adventure game set in a distopian future of malfunctioning robots and dictatorial governments. And here's a remake of a very Very Very old Aliens game (1987) http://derbian.webs.com/lv-426/ You play as the marines + Rippley as you move around Hadleys hope and the atmospheric processor trying to find and destroy the Aliens lair... it's a super basic fps that is stupidly hard and insanely fun (it even does coop) I'd also recommend checking out Outpost 41 on the same website, uses the same system as Lv426 (basic FPS) but is set in its own universe and has a more horror aspect to it (god damn jump scares) and vertical game play (multi leveled base) I'll post some more later or tomorrow

So you're a dentist? I always wondered why someone would want to be a dentist - no offense, I just don't like the idea of poking around in people's mouths! I have so many questions to ask... like what's specifically boring about root canals? Some dentists say it's because they couldn't get into med school, but i never wanted to be a medical practitioner since it is very demanding in the study process and in the long run when compared to dentistry that is a year shorter, shorter and flexible working hours, and there is no "resident" period , you walk right in to full on work status. There is a lot of art in dentistry and I enjoyed art in school, so in a way it's medical art, kinda like the saying do what you love and you wont work a day in your life. It's not so much poking as it is actually a combination of calming the patient, drilling, filling and anatomical contouring, and making aesthetically and natural looking teeth and really just trying to restore the physics of the bite. Oh and then there are the surgeries, so much fun. Why are root canals boring: (prepare your pillow or tl;dr at the bottom) There are 32 teeth in the "normal" human mouth. Each son of a bitch has his own network and number of root canals. Think of branching tree roots The root canal opening can be BIG (like front teeth upper jaw) , or tiny (we are talking micrometers here in a tooth in the back of the mouth) and numerous (really any molar), sometimes 1 root canal branches into 3, or 3 branch into 1. An upper jaw first molar can have between 3 to 5 canals depending on the patient's genetics and age. Missing a root canal can result in failure of the treatment and the patient coming back with pain, and no body likes failure. Then again you might say that some dentists have missed canals yet the treatment was successful. This is because root canal treatment is aimed at reducing the number of pathogens to a number that the body can handle and not completely killing off all pathogens because that is impossible. So does that mean that there is no such thing as a 100% guaranteed success in root canal treatment to which my answer would be yes, but you just said successful, success is kinda defined as 5 years with no symptoms/developments after treatment. tl;dr unknown chance of success when you used all that energy to poke into multiple microscopic canals that you cant even see with the naked eye and that is why it's boring. Feel free to ask me anything
