Actually, supposing that a model's skin consisted of five distinct parts and for each of these five similar distinguishable variations were produced. That would give you the ability to produce 3125 different looking models of the same type. Now considering that these could be created using only...

I personally think you're full of it bud. I have a math degree and I looked at some articles about orbifolds and string theory and they are quite involved and make little sense to me.

Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

Coming from a guy who sifted through 400Mb of gibberish just to be able to see a movie he's already seen a day before it's release it sounds rather ironic.

It is definitely a fact that you see different amounts of reflection off water depending on the angle you look at it. Water is a specular surface as opposed to a diffuse surface. This means that reflection of light off water obey what's called Snell's law ie the angle of incidence equals the...

My guess is that we'll have both dynamic cloth and hair in hl2 a couple years after release when consumer video card GPUs get up to par in displaying the required amounts of polys at the required refresh rate in addition to displaying all the detailed environments. Afterall it's an FPS and the...

Actually I'm a developer myself and yes I could make those effects. Uhm, anything else you want to say?

I believe that #2 contradicts #3 because "quit your whining" is not quite a counter-argument to "I don't like this water effect" nor does it spark any sort of intelligent debate. Moreover people that diss me, and others who criticize little things in the demos, up fail to realize that we do...

..not that there is anything wrong with that.

Firstly El_Chi, #1 granted. #2 contradicts #3. Having a go at someone for whining or "pissing on parade" != a counter-argument or debate. #4, I gotta pay homage to the Simpsons. Secondly Mountain Man, we are not barking up any trees whatsoever. Nowhere will you find me saying that Valve sucks...

You need to stop whining about people's posts. I see more complaints about people's posts than seing actual posts themselves. Stop crying and start an actual discussion.

To the people that complain about us complaining about misaligned textures and water splashes, I need you to perform the following procedure: Raise both your hands and place them on the top of your head. Now vigorously rub and massage your scalp. The idea here is to create some friction heat...

How do you know it uses particles? It sure as hell looks like a decal. Also, the guy that said that realistic water has never been done is wrong. I haven't seen it done really well in real time but as far as renders go, go watch "Finding Nemo" :cheese:

I thought that. I also thought that they might not care about it enough to spend the time doing realistic water splashes. I know I wouldn't.

I certainly tried to the second I heard about the fact that they may have released something they didn't mean to. The only thing that stopped me is that I only have 128Mb of RAM and the file couldn't load into memory. Since I didn't feel like going through it in chunks with cygwin I just gave up...

I think it looks really cheezy and hl1-ish. They could have done something better than showing a decal.

Eric Johnson said something on monday about them accidentally releasing extra stuff. I bet they did it on purpose though cause they wanted to see if ppl will try to hack through their files and see what they will be able to come up with.

That looks much better imo.

It could probably use a little airbrushing or blurring around his outline cause it's rather jaggy. Other than that it's a decent wallpaper.
