HDR video sprites problems.

[BWMASTER]

Now this has been in every game I know of which uses this effect but I thought HL2 will eliminate this type of problem.

Its when they want to show fog or smoke ahead of the charachter and use a big sprite to cover the screen. The sprite moves with the carachter's view.

Some times you can see the sprite and it takes away from the realistic looking environment.

Of course I am still going to buy HL2, I just wanted to point this out.

Thank you

:bounce:

What in the HDR video shows this? I don't remember seeing fog or smoke in it.

EDIT: Oops, stupid me...didn't see the attachment. Still though, what exactly is that shot supposed to be showing me?

Dusty appereance in the attic.

Watch the video at the start and look on the left corner.

thats not a glitch i saw that , it looks more like light hitting the wall but it could be a glitch dunno

It is a problem with the sprites.

The scene was so realistic and beautiful, that little sprite problem took care of the realism for me. I noticed it the first time I saw it.

The game is still going to own evereything before it but that's just something to show that it may not be as perfect as we would expect after 5 years.

looks like a glitch to me.

That's not HL2, it's a "Source" tech demo

The glitch is that it's 2003 and some newbs still use paint.

i saw it the first time too but the thing with the white dots between the polys and the lightmap error are worse.

Yeah: down with white dots and lines from tearing!
