RiderOfEternity Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I wonder if the guys at WFG could show us a sample of the kind of texture quality you're makng there? I've been dieing to ask this for ages now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnas Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I'll have to ask Jason if we can post any samples (probably can't), but we make sure it's good quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos_Ruler Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 You can easily see an example by looking at our screenshots. j/kWhat kind of textures? Terrain? Units? Buildings? Nature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiderOfEternity Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 All! Or just units... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll recognize this texture in the recent screenshots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiderOfEternity Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 wow a lot smaller than I'd imagined and a lot of detail too, nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wijitmaker Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Believe it or not, this is larger than most RTS games. For example, AoM's basic units are 64x64. Battle for Middle Middle-Earth also uses 64x64 for thier basic units but use 128x128 for heroes. We hope to do all our unit textures in 128x128. Which is as high or higher than most pure RTS games currently on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnas Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 We do them at a much higher size first, usually 512x512 IIRC, then shrink them down and sharpen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Why is it only 128x128? And usually 64x64? Would it bog down the system having it any bigger or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeOptimist Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Why is it only 128x128? And usually 64x64? Would it bog down the system having it any bigger or something?←Yes, larger textures require more storage space, and video/system RAM when loaded in-game (IIRC).

nife Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 First of all, you generally don't need bigger textures, because you view the units from such an high altitude (and therefore the detailed textures at 512x512 will be just as good as the ones in 128x128).And then there is the speed issue, because moving data from the gfx to system RAM is quite slow, and therefore you want to have most of it in the gfx RAM when it needs it.
