| Summary | 0000246: Envmapping looking wrong in new builds | ||||
| Description | Already mentioned this on the forums. In the most recent builds envmapping looks extremely odd, with the scale of the reflection so completely off that most of the times its reduced to little specks. It seems worse, the higher poly the object is, and the more rounded the edge is. | ||||
| Additional Information | To illustrate, see the following screenshots: http://www.penguinbomb.com/lightspeed/SCPTest/Frontview.jpg This is the view on the nebulas from the cockpit. See, they are huge and screen filling. http://www.penguinbomb.com/lightspeed/SCPTest/Frontview_reflected.jpg THIS, is the reflection from exactly the same position. You can see the extremely tiny little nebula specks on the cockpit, looking extremely odd like a pair of cotton balls. The scale was never quite correct with envmapping, but in older builds it at least filled the cockpit. | ||||

|
Reminder sent to Lightspeed Is this still an issue in later builds? |
|
|
Yes, this issue never was addressed or fixed. I may add that in subspace it's still completely fried to a point where you can't even consider it 'working'. |

This is actually two entirely different problems. |
|
|
um, it was wrong before, and is right now, realy, there is no scale problems, I fixed a dynamic texture problem wich was part of the alt-tab bug and it fixed some problems with environment mapping, it was in error before, it is corect now. things look smaller when they are reflected off a convex surface, look at those fiisheye mirros for reduceing blind spots for an example, and the cockpit of the ulysies is a lot sharper curve than one of them. there is no bug here. |
|
|
It looks ugly as hell basically, especially on hi-poly ships. |
|
|
Programmatically it's env mapping, hence the link to this, so if it all gets cleaned up, fine, otherwise, reopen the old one. |
|
|
you prefered how it looked before, with the texture geting cut up half way through a back ground feature? it was zoomed in to close and thus was missing details, or worse parts of details, this was particularly evedent in http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30748 that thread, were the earth filling up half the sky got cut in half in it's reflection, this no longer happens as the texture is filled corectly now. |

I think you can see the problem yourself, if I pick a slightly more exaggerated image: http://www.penguinbomb.com/lightspeed/misc/messyMessyMESSY.jpg |

|
hmmm... ok, that doesn't look good ether... I have not seen errors like that on any of the default ships, or any of the default backbrounds, or any of the ones I've used to test on, although that might have something to do with screwed up normals on that model, that is the Karnak wich is an extreemly old/early model. |
|
|
The problem is actually even worse on modern hi-poly models. |
|
|
Bob, any progress here? |
|
|
Reminder sent to Bobboau How's this going, Bobboau? |
|
|
Marking as resolved, even though this has moved to OGL rather than DX. Assuming that the D3D env code is ever updated (and re-enabled) then it should work pretty much the same as the OGL code, which shouldn't exhibit these same problems. Reopen if that is not the case, but no reason to hold this open since D3D isn't supported any longer and Bobboau will never fix this. Fixered. |
