Some great work from Michael Blank done mainly at CBS College Sports CSTV. Thanks for the contribution Michael. Are you a C4D user?

Some great examples of in-game graphics and LED’s from ANC Design. I think building a 3D stadium to display “All World” or LED’s/Jumbotron graphics is the best way to display such a difficult aspect ratio on the internet.
Thanks Mike for the contribution.

Watch it here.

Ok, just as I thought. Google ads was the reason the site was loading so slowly. I know we all loved that little experiment of trying to earn back my hosting costs. And I certainly appreciate the all-time ad revenue of $3.92. So consider graphicsmafia google adless and consider this my offer to anyone who would like to advertise on this site to shoot me an email and we’ll work something out.

Skyline post of South Carolina created the in-game package for the Carolina Panthers. Some really great work.
