video - custom object lightmaps and object specific envmap

[fo0k]

just a bit of fun..

The envmap (cubemap) was rendered from the position of the.. thing..
Can only have one object use the envmap.. but nice effect.

It looks very nice and then i dont mean just the lightmaps and envmap, the round things looks round and not like its made up by cake pieces.

It's just a test map of mine mamba.

And lols freddy.. So true on edges. That blob is the most complex model in the game I think.

heheh.. maybe a rusty HL2.. but thanks

but..! it was made for the is82 mod.. however its a simple tweak to a couple of files to get running in standard 1942.

in the main maps init.con change the kits to something from a 1942 map
in the menu/init.con change it from "interstate" to bf1942.. etc


that should make it work I think in 1942.

Wow, you're going to make this old game look like it's new.

Was the lighting a part of the textures, or is the object really lighting up the surface? If the latter, try making a moving object that lights the surface. Like a scanner thing that moves along the wall? I don't know.

I wonder, is it possible to just do a refresh on the existing maps and vehicles, like high resolution or something and combine that with that awesome lightmaps and round shapes and such?

[fo0k]

It's light maps swaffy... so it's a secondary texture but static... Nothing dynamic going on.


Totally could remake all tex and smooth models..

But.. (here he goes again) Why not for udk instead
