Enrique Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Contributing without being a team member was possible since 0AD went open-source (since 2009?) in approx. 2012-2013 art department became "open" so art team members started posting WIPs and projects on the public thread before stuff was finished. Also the art task thread was started around those dates too. This made the "applications and contributions" topics more or less obsolete. For the Art department, Myconid contributions were essential allowing to raise the graphics bar much higher with the implementation of AO, normal/parallax and specular maps as well as post-processing filters like fog, bloom/HDR, and DOF. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If archive.org decides to stop their service, history would be lost :-S We need to do something, maybe especially in the lights of the upcoming release. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
