Ok that worked. But it doesn't tell me how to implement it in them in the game. I already made it and now I want to see it. The site does help me for what other maps are supported, though.

EDIT: Ah, thank you, Commander! You must have posted just before I did.

I've put some links to normal and parallax mapping tuts from 'www.katsbits.com' onto the tuts and resources page.

To bind the normal map ingame, define it like a glow map, only with the "normal" keyword. You can tune the parallax mapping with the parallaxscale and parallaxbias tokens. See the r_pr_overrideparallax cvar doc to tweak these two values ingame.

Yeah, see that now. Thing is I didn't know how to define a glow map either. I really had no clue where to start.

If you have no clue, either look at the eduke32 wiki or open one of the def files of the HRP, you will see and get an idea of how it is done.

[Fantinaikos]

Sorry, but technical discussions apart, why don't release a B-E-T-A? i know whit a lot of bugs, but why we can not testing like you?

Anyway, this polymer render is integrated in the eduke32.exe or is powered whit external files(like the old bloom effect "cg.dll,cgGL.dll)?

Have you tried contacting TX or Plagman and asking nicely?

Yes.

[Tea Monster]

I know you guys wouldn't REALLY do this, but I think I know what they are afraid of. If they release a beta, even with huge disclaimers all over it that it might not work as it still needs work, people will still flame the forum with OMGBBQ HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US OMG IT DOSEN'T WORK HELLLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!

But of course, we all know you wouldn't do that, don't we?

[Reaper_Man]

Read some of the responses in the various "3DR is closing" and "Take Two sues 3DR" threads, and you'll have your answer.

Nice, got some normal/parallax maps working, they're not that great but i just wanted to test the feature out, made them with crazybump but not simply using the original textures as base since crazybump wasn't too smart figuring out some of the shapes.

[Tea Monster]

Yeah, Crazy Bump is an awesome soft. Shame its charged for now.
You'll just have to experiement with what works great out of CB and what needs to be done manually.

That shot does look sweet.

Try it out on stuff like rock textures etc to see some really cool results .

[Thndr]

Is it me or do the tiles seem a bit too exaggerated in how deep the crevices where the grout is?

[Reaper_Man]

Yeah, everyone goes overboard with normal mapping. Subtlety is the key!

[Ramen4ever]

Very nice.. though the screenshots made me realize what's bugging me about the hrp, the texture of the broken "wall" or concrete, it's completely smooth while the rest of the environment looks beautifully updated. I'm loving the Polymer lighting though. Except now the aliens will need to be updated as well.

Someone made a plugin to fill the void called "Insane Bump" that works pretty well:

When that goes commercial, I'm looking forward to "Deranged Bump" and then "Raving Psycho Bump".

[TerminX]

And then "TX's Ex-Gf Bump"...

I am surprised of this one ! how could you do that (3d objet, bump textures ?)

[Alan]

What are the requirements for a mod to load under the Games tab?

[Jokke_r]

noticed a little bug, in E3l1 in the back of the kitchen:

http://img30.imagesh...0/3351/bugo.jpg

the looks like the parallax scale goes a little bonkers in the sector shading, but then again i only noticed it in that particular location.

[TerminX]

Are you sure that's not just a regular misaligned texture in the original map?

[Jokke_r]

Sure it is misaligned but doesn't explain why the parallax scale is much higher there, they are the same textures after all.

Yes there is definatly something going on with the parallax scale there. Got the same thing in the theater floors.
