Steam

[Dagobert]

Do you think the Source engine can render steam effects like when a kettle boils and the water vapour condenses on cold surfaces?

 

[kinggi]

very funny

Haha for a minute I thought it was another steam thread...

and no

 

[SLH]

Not sure about condensation but i bet the effect for steam will be pretty cool (given they can do things like heat-haze).

 

[DarkelP]

Ha ha, excellent joke.

It would be cool if it did that tho

 

[commando]

ok can someone plz answer this..

Q. WHY DO PPL MAKE SO MANY THREADS OF THE SAME THING?

lol soz.

can't wait for tomoz. well if there are the HL2 VIDs on steam

 

[Chazz]

No blinkin' clue. If you just mean like the smokey wator vapor coming up then yes, obviously, they've been doing it for years, starting with simple moving or animated sprites, moving onto particle effects and such. If you mean the condensation effect, then that could be done with a simple impact-decal like a burn mark or a bullet hole. If you're talking about something ELSE... then... Foo on you =P

 

[DarkelP]

Yes, i want to see some new (old) videos

I think that Valve have done it, there just playing with us
