question about snowtorn cove

[meepster]

I saw how on the bridge, there is ice and it is transparent, ad can see the material under it, yet you didnt get open edges (im guessing a plain was put over it) how do you make ice like that?

[Bastinka]

You apply the material in 3ds max, but make sure to put an ! after it. I think, but you apply the texture to a plane.

[meepster]

eh,but then it wud have no collision. or would +seamsealer work?

[Bastinka]

Why does it need collision?

[meepster]

because its ice....

[p0lar_bear]

Arteen seems to have actually made the ice's texture a mix of blue and the underlying metal texture.

An alternate way to do it would be to model the ice patch, and then underneath it, model in the ground. The ice would need to be collidable, but it should use a shader_transparent_chicago. The underlying ground should have a material that uses the same textures as the surrounding, unfrozen ground, but be render only.

Make it doublesided. (Use %)

Was gonna suggest that, but I kept thinking that $ was the sign for that :\

Yep, just an optical illusion.

By having more than 2 brain cells to rub together. Looks like you're fucked, then.

What the hell? I don't know who you are, or why you have 3 bars of rep, but that was uncalled for.

:gtfo:

Edit: After looking at your post, I'm surprised your not banned.

[Berkut]

He just put a floor where the water plane was and made the material into ice... nothing special there.

[meepster]

so is thaat liike...cheating open edges? changing it from water to ice

[p0lar_bear]

No, he removed the water and sea floor completely, and in its place, put in a floor. He then applied a material with ice bitmaps and properties to said floor.

You can't compile a structure BSP with open edges.

[Masterz1337]

That's a pretty serious accusation to make, especially since I've posted from school PCs a lot in the past. It wouldn't be the first time that's happened.
Yes, but this convinced me.

Next time Masterz, instead of blurring the top, take a screenie of your own Xfire and cut that part out of your image and into that.
Or maybe digitally add in that to your friends list. Either way, it may leave some tell-tale pixels, but for those who aren't looking for them, it'll look genuine.

[Masterz1337]

It's not my Xfire. I don't even think I have ross on my list. Oh and Jfap says

Rossmum, you're a disaster now. It's like you're falling into a self-destructive state. You're taking this alt account business to a level that is absurd. When you were given permission to make a secondary account, I had never really intended it to be like it is now. It would have been best if you had kept it at a level of correcting members and making them feel like the stupid shit they really are.

[Zeph]

on topic now. If it continues, the poster gets a big fat warning.
