I've just installed GTK 1.4 and noticed there is a completely new toolbar, with one of the buttons saying "splines" I was wondering if this is like the 3dsmax splines where you can create curved paths. I'm starting work on a train system...  [Read More]

I'll give it a go tonight when I get home, but i'm pretty sure i'm right. If not, then my apologies in advance but I hope we can agree that detail brushes are ignored by VIS, hence the faster compile time. So, when are we going to get started on are...  [Read More]

Detail brushes were originally created for the Quake2 engine so id could add a lot of detailing without adversely affecting the compile times of the maps. Detail brushes do not become part of the final visibilty matrix - hence the faster compile ti...  [Read More]

Detail brushes don't cast shadows as they are not included in VIS process, so the LIGHT stage just passes the light through the brush - that's what I meant by liking my shadows. If the brushes are small, many sided or have funny angles, then I gener...  [Read More]

If they're used carefully they should be okay, but as VIS doesn't take them into account when compiling, the engine can see straight through them, but you know that already. I personally prefer to make as many brushes structural as possible - I don'...  [Read More]

[off topic] Are you Darksaber from XWAlliance Upgrade? If so, cool, if not, then cool anyway. [on topic] Are you caulking all the non-visible sides of your brushes? This helps the engine draw less polygons. Also, I thought detail brushes helpe...  [Read More]

Maybe you should use Behaved and click and drag things until you get the desired effect. The trick will be to remember what does what. :) [/B][/QUOTE] Ha ha, Touche! :) I've just learned how to do something as i've needed it - it's just getting th...  [Read More]

I'm not that bad at art, and pretty good at visuallising stuff - with maps and shaders you can see your results almost straight away. To me, scripts are just a load of lines of text that I can barely follow. I've just got the latest version of GTK t...  [Read More]

I find it helpful when designing town or city layouts to have a focal point at the centre - some where that the town has grown outwards from. The best example of this is in the EP IV special edition where it shows the crashed spaceship that Mos Eisle...  [Read More]
