[Release] Unreal: Combat Evolved

[Inferno]

They have normals >_>.

Halo didn't have normals... did it? They had bump maps iirc.

[Inferno]

Same thing?

[t3h m00kz]

Kind of, Normal maps are more complex.

A quick google brought this up:

• Bumpmaps:
  Single axis hieght information maps that the renderer can use to "shade"
  the surface it is applied to. (1D Bump Maps). The hieght info is usually
  stored as a grey scale 8 or 16 bits per pixel image file where the low
  values (black) represent the low areas (valleys) and the high vlaues
  (white) are used to represent the the high areas (peeks).
• Normalmaps:
  Three axis hieght information maps that the renderer can use to "shade"
  the surface it is applied to. (3D Bump Maps). The X, Y, or Z axis specific
  hieght info is usually stored as a 8 or 16 bits per pixel color image file
  where the low values for the x axis (black) represent the low areas
  (x-axis-dents) and the high vlaues (RED) are used to represent the
  high areas (x-axis-protrusions). Green is used for the y axis in the
  same way and blue for the z axis. Because normal maps contain
  hieght information for all three axis (x, y, z) it is posible to discribe
  a complete 360 degree curvature on all 3 axis in the shaded surface.

Halo 2 uses bump. Halo 1 uses normal.

either way our current weapons dont have neither, only the m6d I think...

Yeah, all that's there is the stock stuff that came with Halo. The bumps were actually from a friend of mine, they didn't come with the game There are "multipurpose" maps though, that do things like specular level and opacity that came with the stock textures.

Multipurpose modulates cube-maps, specular and self illumination.

[t3h m00kz]

yeah something like that I'm not much of a shader person

[Inferno]

Wait...

Was I supposed to be doing something UT3 related today?
