BUT
its VERY difficult to do for an actor with an
even slightly complicated shape and

so far the SUBTRACTIVE GEOMETRY method
seems to be working very well and giving great results
fast...and the ...

Hi all ...

ok..heres what I found last night....

Try this at home.....

using a STATICENTITYPROXY..place a LONG and THIN Actor for geometry
such as a wall or a canyon wall in a level....
now try the level and using DEBUG..see the BOUNDING BOX
and notice that its pretty normal.....
OK...now for the ...

hi again...

thank you veleran..

but thats NOT the problem...

I have no problem making a level using BSP and cut brushes and such
I have been doing that style for over 10 yrs now......
BUT
as we have all seen....in RF...
its not really a good idea to use BSP geometry
as it takes hours or days to ...

Yes. The collision will only be done if someone or something (an actor, can be anything, projectile, pawn etc...) enters the bounding box of the StaticMesh.



Hi again jay....

once that happens ..as it does when the PLAYER walks

and dont be ...

Wooper

hey theer again..

can any of you guys
post a few shots of your levels
to let me see the effects your getting
with or without bumpmapping
and to see your general lighting application ?
a picture is worth 10,000 words they say.
well USA says 1000
China says 10,000
maybe because their pic is loaded ...

hey theer
and thx all for the comments and tips.



just to let you know..
this level took less than half an hour to make
I just put it togther to get a very rough idea
of the potential was all.
the lighting is surely NOT finished
it could take up to another half hour
or so to get it right ( JOKE ...

thanks again Mr B

im off to try and put it all together..

Wooper

hey thx bernie

looking and VERY versatile.
