heres a tech demo that demonstrates,graphically, what my small group can do. the level in this demo is very small. speed was also an issue with the demo. its nice looking though. if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve speed or just improve all together please say something it would be greatly apprecieated
thanks

hm, looking good so far.
keep it up!
things that could be improved:

-I can walk through things. somehow the standard movement code doesn't work right.
-that's why I can see the tree that's INSIDE the house model... uh...?
-Some of those rock models are transparent (and I can walk through them as well)
-the grass looks repetitive... make some of those grass models larger and others smaller (random size).
-the terrain...at the place where you start, the texture's streched out... not good.

The light-falling-through-the-trees is pretty well done

Keep it up, and keep improving!

yep I also like it this far:

- I also noticed that I can go through the house and see the tree
- I also can walk through the rocks
- some gras is floating ? maybe use a trace code for that

otherthan great work

The demo is looking good so far, but there are something that could be improved, I'll step over the C&C step by step:

- The floating grass is probably a minor problem to solve. If you've used a map to give the grass a predefined position with a random orientation in the field, try adding a trace to check the grass distance related to the ground distance and subtract the value between the both which in other words means gravity ^^ When you didn't used a map to calculate this, you've probably lined out the grass models/sprites manually in WED which makes the problem even easier. My thought about it is that you've had a moment of inattentive thinking while setting up the grass manually

- The walking through element is caused by setting the passable flag to yes, which is even easier to solve.

- The textures are sometimes abit blurry but I don't blame your team for this, performance needs to be stable enough to carry out a decent framerate.

- The jumping is good but feels unnatural

- One of the rocks is invisible but I think you know how to change that. You may have done this with a sertain intention to test something which I can't tell of course

- The step sound is good aswell but when I jump, I don't hear any sound when landing.

- In overal, nice job and the normal map on the rocks and the house gives it a good feeling in nature. The light rays are good extra, it completes the feeling of nature

Srr for the load of comment but mind it's all with a constructive reason

Cheers

All wrong sentences are because my neighbor is lissening to Rammstein.

And on the third pic is written "Detail map me". Dunno why the quality was suddenly so bad. It´s magic!

lol. i enjoy everyones comments. and the jumping up and down thing is just bizzar, ill have to look into it.
-the grass models were all placed by hand, individually(i got lazy after a while) the terrain is bump mapped which turned out nicely. the invisible rock...well that i couldnt figure out..i had no materials and no flags attatched to it. the house, the other guys were supposed to put a block inside of it so you couldnt walk through it. the floating grass is just a mistake on my part. while hand placing the grass i cant exactly see the shape of the terrain unless im looking in the 3d view. but the grass is easily fixable, its just when you look at fixing it, it looks like its alot of work... thanks for the comments ill have to get to work on all of that. and ill reproduce the demo with all the neccesary corrections.
and if you ask me i think ive got too much color, but then again its a forest...it needs color
:EDIT: 263 views and only 6 replies lol thats like 263 people buying a ticket to see spiderman 3 and only 6 of them actually go. LOL!!!
