darthbob Pilot	posted 07-08- 06:16 AM I havent a clue about animated gifs etc and i havent thought this through what so ever but here goes. If we somehow got the game to supports animated gifs as textures. could we use them to get say wavy water. i saw it at the flightline and it looks good except that was a fake. I know it's a crap idea so don't laughi in my face etc IP: Logged

Jaguar Pilot	posted 07-08- 12:47 PM hhhhmmmm............ It's worth a try. But I'm not sure that it will work. How will the game know to activate the animation? ------------------ Cheers! Lt. Col. Jaguar The FS Hangar IP: Logged
Razer Pilot	posted 07-08- 02:53 PM The engine already supports this. The explosions are like 8 tifs that are "played" when the plane blows up. you would just need to figure out how it's done. It would probably kill FPS, but who knows. Ask michael, he would probably know. ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin http://www.fshangar.com IP: Logged
darthbob Pilot	posted 07-09- 10:18 AM there is also the fact that it would look crap with out high res textures. some thing we dont have and which would kill framerates even further. I saw pictures from the new pearl harbour film. it looks awesome. could we add further explosion 'frames' btw. IP: Logged
Jerry Pilot	posted 07-09- 12:04 PM From altitude you don't see ocean "ripple" movement anyway, even whitecaps look stationary since you're moving so fast in comparison. So it probably isn't worth the effort or FPS. From the deck of a ship or on shore it's another matter. IP: Logged
