Bob, isn't amazing how easy it is to get testers for graphical updates If this was a feature change you'd be banging heads for people to test it

[Taristin]

Especially if he had to rely on me exclusively.

I think that says it best.

Bob - you've out-done yourself this time. I mean with everything else enabled in game.. this is just spectacular. FreeSpace2 has come so far and it wouldn't have been possible without you guys. Get this into a workable (non-alpha-ish build and a highlight will surely follow). Now I'm going to go and play :devil:

[IPAndrews]

Now that is amazing. Incredible work Bobboau. Please add me to the Bobboau fan boy mailing list.

[Trivial Psychic]

I'd reccomend that this be entered into the highlights... once more screenshots are posted with the upcoming build.

[Turnsky]

Bob, that's awesome..

Kudos to you, good man.

[Bobboau]

anyway...

that's probly going to be the last build I post, unless I fix the one remaining graphical glitch (look at a myrmadon) but even then unlikely, I hacked in poper render order, the first build will give you a better idea about framerates, this one works better in game

[Flipside]

Alas, this one refuses to work properly for me

I get a strange, almost transparant effect to models, as though the shadows from the opposite side of the ship are being rendered. It's hard to describe. Heres a piccy, though I'm not sure that'll help much either

I think I had the zbuffer turned bacwards
redownload
but there are similar errors that I can't figure out

[Flipside]

Pictures, on this occasion, speak far louder than words

[Lt.Cannonfodder]

As cool as that looks, it kinda highlights how low-poly the old Deimos is. Get shots with the new high-poly version and I'm happy

[ChronoReverse]

[Flipside]

LOL Well, it runs pretty chunkily even with the Hecate on screen, once Bob's optimised it, then I'll use the higher poly models

Hoooooly..........s***............
That's all that can be said

[Col. Fishguts]

Ooohh....awesome.
Turn down ambient light, so that the shadowed parts are darker....pretty please ?

[Bobboau]

well I'm actualy subtracting the light from the light that the shadow is being cast from, that way should make it relitively easy to make multable lights and have corect lighting

[Gloriano]

that is Really Cool
