'[R-DEV wrote:Rhino;1049882']Right done a quick example of a modelled reticle on what Nosferatu posted above: http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/998/tpku.jpg
Now before I show you this I've only done a really quick and basic texture for this it would need a good texture artist to make a good texture as I'm not the best when it comes to texture creation
So the bit at the bottom looks **** and blurry since I just took it off the ref, blew it up and shoved it onto my texture
Anyways here is what I've got:
and here's its 256x128 texture (which is only 96kbs):
and the model itself which is only 212tris:
which is far better performance wise than this 512x512 texture that is quite similar that is 256kbs:
So ye providing you got a good skinner to do the texture for the modelled one I believe it would look just as good and be much easier on the memory and will have a big increase in performance (more than most people would think) if done all the way across the line of all our radices etc in PR (at least for new vehicles if not the old).
Just to show you a quick example of how a good texture can make the bottom bit look better I just took that bottom bit of the other 512x512 texture I posted above and slapped it on this texture.
So ye all in all, you can have the texture flexibility and the performance increase with combining the best of modelled and texture radices
Manual's probably older than the reticle.DankE_SPB wrote:For BTR, and no, i have no idea why manual reference and actual reticle are different
Depends who you ask.dtacs wrote:Its useful mate but at the moment a single problem of having a rangefinding recticle mirrored isn't really that much of a problem.
Well not that much when there are things like firebases that are 10m tall and so forth. Your research didn't go to vain however as they are some good finds
