Supreme Cmdr Posted September 5, 2000 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2000 nope, no bump mapping. The textures are detailed enough. Besides, I've decided to drop bump mapping support due to lack of time and resources required to do them.btw, if everything looks kinda dark, as opposed to the full bright nature of other space sims (eg upcoming I-War2), its because BCM is using accurate lighting from several sources. Space is dark and IMHO, shouldn't be lit up like a Christmas tree. There are going to be a few more dynamic light sources (from port holes etc) to complement the implicit dynamic light sources from particle effects such as contrails, weapons fire etc. These should provide enough light to maintain the eerie feeling of space, without going the full-bright route.To see what I'm talking about, go here: http://www.voodooextreme.com/article.taf?articleID=108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted September 5, 2000 Report Share Posted September 5, 2000 Darned fine pic's Boss, NO they are better than that! I agree whole heartedly on the thought of darkened space. It's gotta be dark out there on the rim! My compliments, as always to yourself and the Dev Crew. Now just one more question. You guessed it, so I won't ask it. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parias Posted September 5, 2000 Report Share Posted September 5, 2000 As I said over at the VE comments board, "purdy". As usual though, the thing had it's share of psycotic nay-sayers.. but who could say the game looks ugly with a beautiful picture like this? Damn, that one right there is vying for desktop space over my purdy lil Mechwarrior 4 shot.------------------ Cmdr.

Cmdr Hidama Posted September 5, 2000 Report Share Posted September 5, 2000 45 more reasons I must have this game!

Gordon Posted September 5, 2000 Report Share Posted September 5, 2000 I've been away for two weeks (down in SC's home state). Just catching up, the new pictures look great. I also agree that lighting should resemble real space as closely as possible. Keep up the good work, looking forward to getting my hands on the game !------------------ rgordon434 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
