Maybe a little photoshop touch up here and there but its certainly an in game model, its low poly, can see the area's where it could have used more polygons. I've had a closer look in photoshop and I do think it was a straight screengrab from the engine. There's no realtime shadows in it, they looked like their baked into the texture (under the arms and so on) to help with the effect of realism... Second thoughts, there might be one realtime light on there, the shadow beneath the tubing and the hood shadow may have been realtime, with the light directly above. Or that could have been baked also, though their noticable shadows, so would work better as realtime than baked. hmm ok what was the point of this, oh yeah, its a slightly photoshopped screenshot from the game composited over the background
Even I have to admit Stalker is shaping up to look nice. So.. their engine does day/night cycles too huh?... *edges a little closer to stalker and buys it a drink*
So anyone still wanna tell me normal maps aren't important? hmm?

Sadako wins hands down for sheer creepyness, while the films don't out right scare me anymore, the concept of sadako scares the sh*t out of me, I mean, imagine looking behind you late at night and seeing her looking around the door straight at you *shudder* lol.
The climbing out of the well, the climbing through the TV and in Ring2 I'd have to say the scene when the now dead girls friend comes downstairs and Sadako looks out from the living room and turns her head to face her, gotta admit thats probably the best bit from the second film, that and the scared girl on the second tape when her head starts shaking too much. Sadako's movement is very creepy though I gotta agree.
Keep meaning to buy these on DVD for x-mas, keep forgetting. Hoping I can get all four (ring, ring2, ring 0 and the ring) I know the first three are in a collection, just finding a store that stocks them.
I'm not a fan really of The Ring, its based too much on both Ring and Ring2 and I think the Ring2 elements spoil the film, even though Ring2 isn't that bad a film, it explains too much that distracts from the first. I feel sorry for those who saw the US version before the original as it spoilt it for them. Mind you I guess I was lucky, I had no idea what Ring was, didn't have a clue, watched it cause I was curious, didn't expect a thing, full effect of being scared witless, excellent
these are just silly http://adenomates.**********/ try the towelhead one, thats just daft
