Rambler 1-1 Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Just had an awesome Fighter Sweep over Hanoi, 8 F-4Cs met by 8 MiG-17s in a massive dogfight over Downtown Hanoi, with more SAMs and flak then I've ever seen. On the way in, dodging SAMs and flak as usual after getting a sparrow kill. Forced this MiG into the ground when he followed me into a dive- hit mach 1 on the way down, and he couldn't pull up! Finally, got this guy with a high deflection guns shot. 1 Quote

+GrinchWSLG Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 img00003.JPG Damn near perfect use of bump mapping there. Just subtle enough to make a difference in the feel of the visual effect, but not in your face obvious. Great work. Quote
+EricJ Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 That's pretty much what the effect I was looking for, with FC's pic. It's not as pronounced on the real thing, so I think he beat me to to the punch on that one... Quote
+FastCargo Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Well, I literally did it in 5 minutes by using the SH templates you made there Eric...just cut out everything except the panel lines and rivets, then added a pure white layer underneath. And then used xNormal. Didn't even change the opacity. It was another test that turned out pretty good...and darn convincing, even from the cockpit view. However, Grinch asked eariler and I don't think the sim scales the bump maps like it does the textures because I noticed the bump maps were crushing my system at 2048x2048 which is what you see in the screenshot (I have a relatively old GPU). I think a decent skinner can do much more than I can do. I was thinking about it today when I flying formation and looking at the aircraft I was flying off of, with all the wrinkles in the skin (50 year old T-38) and how a bump map could really bring out that sort of thing.
