JeanPaul Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 Alright folks, here you go. Our coder, Nokia, has it working in his Hammer. This isnt a lie, and I talked to him first hand about this. The bad news is that he gets around 5-6 fps while in lighting preview mode. Even worse news, his computer is a 4ghz over clocked Intel, 4 gb of RAM, and dual x1800 pros. 8O And on top of that, it LITERALLY takes 10 minutes to load. And here you go, proof.
JeanPaul Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Posted August 6, 2006 Any more and he wouldnt have enough resources to run it.
TomWithTheWeather Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 And what a great leap forward for map editors... Now maybe they'll all have lit preview. :wink:
JeanPaul Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Posted August 6, 2006 PrtScn? Its all black when that happens.
Sindwiller Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 I think that the lighting preview is still experimental. The way its rendered on that example might be realtime lightmapping (yeah, w00t-t3h-fu€k), because, no realtime lighting technique does need so long to calculate and does not work so slow. So, the lightmap is updated on every light-move, but only the moved light is being rendered. Maybe, the myth, Hammer uses software rendering, causes the very, very, very low performance (5-6 FPS, even on so a shitty system *duck* *runaway*). Well, have fun Wfr, Sindwiller
Lee3dee Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 ummmm yeah, a spot light with the cone showing. Is there something im missing?
Sindwiller Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 ummmm yeah, a spot light with the cone showing. Is there something im missing? Yes, the screenshot is bullshit. You need to look very close. You will see a brightness difference between the floor who "touches" the cone and the rest of the room. See it? Wfr, SIndwiller
Warby Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 but its just tnl light right so you wont ever get more than like 8 lights runnign at once ?!
JeanPaul Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Posted August 7, 2006 Yeah, it only works with one light, anymore and it just crashes his entire system
von*ferret Posted August 7, 2006 Report Posted August 7, 2006 at least they're pushing for something i guess
