It's ironic to look at your posts in the Naruto thread, and then taking a look at this thread.

I'm a playa hata, it's my job.

But seriously, why did you evade that swear filter?!

In Bulgarian Biatch (Биач) means fighter lol

I just realized something. Both DirectX and OpenGL have tessellation support and if I'm not mistaking, counter-strike had a tessellation patch long ago and made it look pretty good. Also serious sam had a patch like that but that's a totally different engine. I was thinking if maybe you guys can squeeze some tessellation in there for the player models to eliminate some of those unwanted edges? It can be disabled for people that don't have good PC's. It's just a thought.

Nice PoTW btw. I like the open map.

hehe, esf models are 3x higher than CS models
almost the same count as a source model actually.

 

[Boogyman93]

I'm aware that the esf models have a lot more polys but I just wanted to show that the Gold Source engine is capable of that without having to mod it much.
So, since you guys added so many new features to the mod, why not add that one too? It will only make the models look even better.

 

[Uaimedna]

Well... hes got a point there...

 

[KarrdeKNR]

I don't think the version of OpenGL/extensions we're using has tesselation. Even if it does, it takes quite a bit of power and might not really be worth our time to implement considering our other work.

as i can see that applies some kind of mesh smoothing on them models, without proper smoothing groups it could get messy and even look pretty bad, it wont only need to be coded in, models need to be fitted to that system also. Believe that you wont start to notice the sharp edge flaws here and there for the first few months of playing the new version, counting all new features and maps or w/e as a distraction..

and even if you do, it wont bug you that much now will it ;p

I think they'll just be tripping out on the amazing animations Ive been doing for ESF!!! woot!
400 animations baby!! hhaahhaahha...

lets see you guys make some custom models now suckas!! lol.

 

[Denz]

not even near enough, im sure you wanted more but they said 400 is enough damn it

That also applies to DirectX 9
And I don't see how a more detailed mesh can mess with animations.

 

[Damaera]

All the models would have to be rerigged, which takes up a lot of time, and it takes a while to import the animations.

No offense, but get over it. I don't think your suggestion will make it in ESF

 

[Ritmas]

WTB moar blood/gore and stuff, and make it not esf anymoar, but GOREFEST!

 

[DarktoothDKD]

hehehe.. wanna know what more detail means?... ****ty deformation on animations.. Im only allowed so many bones, thats something we cant break. So if you wanna see clipping all over the models.. then we have to stop at some point

 

[Grega]

not even near enough, im sure you wanted more but they said 400 is enough damn it

Actually the HL limit is 128 and our hacked limit is 512 ^^;

 

[Ritmas]

So hack it too 1337. And then you are cool. ;O

 

[Denz]

DT actually makes 1337 animations.. doesnt like em, then makes 400 new ones in 17 mins..
