Hmm, im a computer science major, and took some classes in computer simulated rigid body mechanics. (That is what physics in HL2 are about) And it was quite straight forward, center of gravity, on which you apply gravity and of an object collides, recalculate the actual force by using a momentum...
The whole video was awesome, however 2 things were were impressive in slo mode,
first: when gordon is walking in that hallway, when som combine kick in a door, you can see the room to the right trough the glass door, however, when you open that same door on our way out, you can hardly see...
Hmm,
I dont know but START DISCReplication sounds sound dont you think?
I mean it does make sense to have that kind of deadline for an animator,
the final date. on other hand one would prefer to write: start disc replication??
I rerely post here, yet I feel the need to this time.
As a computer Science MoS I must point out that the machine
is runnig HL2 in a windowed mode, (slowdown) and together with
several other apps, see the other screen (outlook at least)
So in exlcusive fullscreen, with all other apps...
that would explain the shadows, you know the swadows from the paint buckets beneath the table, they are there because the buckets are hidden inside the box.
Well, maybe its not THE horadric cube on Alyx's neck, but it sure looks strange to have a cube as a necklace, I'm sure Ive seen the symbol on that cube before, just cant imagine where or in what context. Can we get at better image of it?
hmmm, anyone thought about a minigun? not a handheld, Gordon is a geek, no way he could carry one, but mounted on a chopper or a truck... with HL2s physicks engine, Gordon could cause some real chaos. =)
I think its a great idea, the whole jumping trough a window thing. Imagine, Gordon making a run for it, yet slowing down at the last moment, and "bump", the window still whole and Gordon in the ground in front of it, but if he really makes a run for it, he could with ease smash right trough a...
Hmmm, I think its a mistake by valve to include OCIW as a player weapon in HL2, because its a so complex weapon, its not even a weapon, its a weaponsplatform, it has night vision, infrared vision, laser range finder, programble grenades, so on, so forth... If most of these "features" are not...
