Now, I'm probably very wrong, but I thought that polygons were triangles. Wouldn't the thing in the wall video be 2 polygons and not one? Someone explain?

 

[Arno]

Polygons are not necessarily triangles. Polygons can have any number of sides, but they usually are either triangles or quads. Quads are polygons with four sides, like the one in the wall video.

Btw, in Doom3, every polygon in the game has a normal map. It is kinda demanding on hardware, but it really adds tons of detail to level architecture, characters, weapons and other objects.

Bit torrent it one of the more recent peer to peer systems, it's actually quite good.

The wall vid is interesting if you appreciate the technical side of things, if you just want to see lots people shooting aliens or you're a 12 year old who wants to see an naked alyx then it won't interest you.

What has being 12 got to do with wanting to see a naked Alyx??

english is my first and only language its just that I am bad at it

I am much better at things like maths, art and logical challenges
I guess this is why I am getting excited about these videos

btw ... I am wondering how much demand these textures thats created in the video will put on our systems

and one of the bad things about HL1 was the outside areas they didnt really look bad but i really cant wait to make some realistic scenes for outside areas
