Cpl Steiner Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 A lot of the screenshots as well as the recent videos have had problems with self-shadowing. Is this going to be resolved or is it just something we will have to live with? Perhaps someone could let us know what exactly causes the problem - visible as light and dark stripes on some polygonal surfaces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I am not trying to put words in anyone's mouth, but I could have sworn they said that was an ATI issue (shades of the ATI fog issue loom....). For a while I thought it was a style choice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if this is really the case, why shoot your publicity videos and screenshots on an ATI system? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 On the flip side, at least they aren't hiding it Maybe it's just because it's the beta and alpha shots? In any case, I did find a post about ATI and shadows. Scroll to the bottom of Steve's post. Now, in those screenshots the shadow edges are jagged triangles. Maybe the shadows we've seen in the video are a sort of work around? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Hmmm, might I suggest they contact Wendy and ask for her to firmly sew the shadows back on? Regards, Ken (My apologies for any Peter Pan aficionados.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Work around for ATI shadowing problems hasn't been touched. It's a lot of effort for little possible reward sort of thing. We have other things more pressing than that to do first. We do the publicity shots based on who is best/has time to do them, not based on video card Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
