Summary0001164: SSD Diablo shield hits are rendered in a wrong possition
DescriptionWhile playing Into the Depths of Hell 3 campaign, I've noticed that SSD Diablo shield hits are rendered with a huge displacement from laser direction.

I don't know if this:

+ It is normal and not fixable. Shield mesh triangles are so big that the game engine hasn't got enough precission to get a better render.

Or

+ It is normal but you can fix/improve it.

Or

+ It is some kind of shield rendering bug.

Or

+ It is some kind of pof bug.
Steps To ReproduceI upload an screenshot and a zip with the ship model and its definition from ItHoD3 and a sample test mission. Just play and shot at the Diablo (its turrets are off).
TagsNo tags attached.

I think that this is just the POF. First off, it doesn't even load in a debug build since most of subsystems/turrets only have 1 vert, when at least 2 is required.

And the shield mesh seems a bit freaky to me, but without knowing more about the modeling side of things I can't really get more specific than that. :) I just can't think of a reason why it was setup that way in the first place. And I can't see how it could ever render properly the way that it is.

This isn't a code bug, but a model problem.

The shield rendering code does need some serious coder help, and will get it before too much longer, but this particular problem isn't really related to that.
