It looks like someone dumped a bunch of water on Barney and Gman's heads

[QUOTE=Conro101;38622184]It looks like someone dumped a bunch of water on Barney and Gman's heads[/QUOTE] They both need work done to their phong exponent maps. They're 100% white right now.

Are you gonna replace the current magnum sounds? The one in the video sounds like a weapon from Doom.

[QUOTE=1/4 Life;38622051]Shaders are all done. [img_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/hQkb3n.jpg[/img_thumb] [/QUOTE] I'm not quite digging the apparent unsharp mask.

GMAN is perfect. I love how his face adjust perfectly with the light. Have to be the first time I see a character in a game fit a dim room.

AAs, as I know.

Any chance of implanting SMAA? Personally I think it does a better job then FXAA.

that is one shiny ear [editline]30th November 2012[/editline] I'm assuming the face is the only part with the right shader

[QUOTE=Barbarian887;38657975]that is one shiny ear [editline]30th November 2012[/editline] I'm assuming the face is the only part with the right shader[/QUOTE] Correct.

[QUOTE=Barbarian887;38657975]that is one shiny ear [editline]30th November 2012[/editline] I'm assuming the face is the only part with the right shader[/QUOTE] Yes, though the ear is included in the face texture, so it's effected too, though it still needs another alpha to make some of the areas less shiny.

So are you guys going to be improving the maps as well or no? I really feel like the cliffs on the coast could stand to be improved a bit.

I'm currently assigned with that task, and the coast definitely needs a major update!

It's funny how much shaders mask the graphical imperfection of the game.

ugh the Far Cry 3 like ambient occlusion on the grav gun and what's up with the fence?

[QUOTE=Yourself;38665634]ugh the Far Cry 3 like ambient occlusion on the grav gun and what's up with the fence?[/QUOTE] Bad anti-aliasing or transparency.

[QUOTE=Foda;38669264]Remove the SSAO. Source's depth-buffer is too small for it.[/QUOTE] Anyway we can increase that? To be honest I don't even know what that is, but I'd HATE to lose the SSAO effect.

[QUOTE=Medevilae;38671744]SSAO doesn't look too great in HL2. If you really want an SSAO shader, just use ENB.[/QUOTE] I'd do ANYTHING rather then use those horrible shaders. No offense to anyone but I hate both how the effects look and the horrible performance hit from it.

Unless you guys are going to upgrade from an 8-bit buffer, I would suggest not doing SSAO either. 16bit is AT LEAST minimum, but I guess that depends on if you made a better radius handler for the ao occlusion itself.

I wish I could understand any of whats being said in there :downs:

Depth buffer is basically virtual screen depth. [editline]2nd December 2012[/editline] Oh ok

[QUOTE=Medevilae;38676607]City 17: Episode 1 is going to be releasing their "shaders, particles, materials, models, etc." this month. They should be integrated. [URL]http://www.moddb.com/mods/city-17-episode-1/news/c17sstatus[/URL][/QUOTE] I think 1/4 Life has already integrated a few of them into this mod.

[URL]http://www.moddb.com/mods/city-17-episode-1/news/c17sstatus[/URL][/QUOTE] We already have a few of them in this mod. Subsurface Scattering, Parallax Occlusion Mapping, and their clothing shader, are all in our mod thanks to 1/4 Life.

I'm going to grab this as soon as there's something ready for release. It looks great already. [editline]2nd December 2012[/editline] I would love to help, but I really don't have experience in much of anything, so I think I would just be in the way.
