TornSoul Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 I don't know if anybody else noticed, but one of the first things I saw in the screenshots was THERE ARE NO TRIANGLE SPARKS!!!! Just thought I'd tell everyone
GonkH8er Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 yes, i noticed that. they were the only thing that bugged me about obi1 xbox can have the triangles....... we have REAL effects
Guest Boba Rhett Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 Are you telling me that Obi Wan still has those crappy traingle sparks in it?
CaptainRAVE Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 Obi Wan is gonna suck....the game developers have lost interest in it now because they couldnt get it to do what they wanted it to do!
Archie Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 The stupid thing is that on the x-box it would take no time at all to do proper little circles... Those triangles are just laziness.
CaptainRAVE Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 Wait a sec....whats wrong with triangles....a couple of years ago they were highly techincal!
StormHammer Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 Didn't anyone tell you? Triangles are out of fashion! Bring on the trendy Hexagons!
GonkH8er Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 pfffffffft, hexagons? come off it! its hip to be SQUARE man! right on!
G.P LeChuck Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 AND LOOK AT THAT CRAPPY LIGHTSABER!! It sucks! Kyle's is perfect, though, at least when he's not swinging it around!
CaptainRAVE Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 Yeah, are those triangles in the pic just one pixel! lol
Letalis Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 Oh, there's some serious graphic rape being done by Raven. JK2 looks so much better, typical Crap-Box. [ June 09, 2001: Message edited by: Letalis ]
matt-- Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 I here by declare to one and all...men and women...people of every nation, tongue, and clan that from this day forth...the new Microsoft gaming machine...will be known as Crap-Box
Rancor Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 Well, a triangle is certainly going to render faster than a quad, which is basically two triangles. Additionally, they don't look textured, which probably makes them even cheaper to render. If you had thousands of them on-screen at once and they're all moving in cool ways, I don't imagine you'd notice and you could probably do at least twice as many particles this way. With particle type effects, volume and quantity matter.
Rancor Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 The problem is that we're only seeing screenshots. If those things were in motion ( and moving very quickly ) and output to a blurry ol' tv, it would be far less likely that you'd even notice that it was a triangle. So, as I said, it's just that it's a still shot and output to a nice crisp format for us to display on our hi-res monitors. Until we can see them in motion, I wouldn't worry too much. Signed, Weirdo
CaptainRAVE Posted June 10, 2001 Posted June 10, 2001 Circles RULE. Actually they are quite interesting!
