Ooh nice, cone stepping, the only parallax mapping I actually like visually
How long does it take to preprocess the CSM?
I rendered out some in xNormal before, regular CSM was okay (still fairly slow) but the relaxed variant took forever to render.

I watched some of the videos on moddb. Really like what you did with all the view animation, like you said, really goes beyond that Quake feeling. I'll need to play around with this

Yeah I used Genetica, the studio version since that one supports animation. It's really not geared towards this kind of stuff though, I just used it because it was convenient for this use case.

Wrote a tutorial on how to make/generate certain kinds of animated textures.
BARF

You could try accumulating frames into a HDR buffer. I guess that wouldn't balloon up so much.

As for retro stuff, maybe render 4 quarter res buffers with one pixel view offset and arrange the pixels in a screendoor pattern.

You can do ragdolls with MDL?

mind = blown

Sweet! I wish more of the fancy Quake engines would consider ways for making their specular look less 2005.

Looks cool
Maybe try including fresnel fall off on the char models glass reflections.

Same, too much awesome stuff coming out at once

Please give her a turtle shell bikini

Might look cool in conjunction with black sobel outlines (or rather, creases?) to retain visibility of forms in the underexposed areas.

Antialiased Nearest Neighbour Filtering. Would be cool if a Quake/Doom/Retro-ish engine could do this...

Isn't the sliding simply how pixel offset mapping works? Cannot "extrude outwards" so need to "extrude inwards" ... = sliding pixels relative to surface.

Last two blog items:
There's a place for photosourcing, but hand painted usually looks better, esp for normals. Good job.
For the crate, if you can do LODs I think you should try modelling on the handle. It looks a bit weird now imo.

Just wondering, is there any reason why games like to use the flash interfaces?
I don't have anything against Flash (I used to use it myself quite happily), just wonder why that format. Seems like a fairly big entry barrier when using a proprietary third party tech.
