What is this deep paint 3D? Is it what I think it is?? IE, a way to paint ONTO the model in realtime? If so... DAM IT I WANT IT!

Yes aGorm I believe it is, it's not free or even cheap.

Maybe I've got this wrong, but this thing is similar to the hl tentacle monster thing right?

LathanStanley · Post by **LathanStanley** » 18 Mar 2006, 08:29

not even... its more like a plant....

its a fungal thingamajig from what I understand and it "lives" off the planets natural resources or something, and it ejects toxins that kill all other life on the planet...

the big one is a "spore chiminey" or something, and if its disturbed (shot etc..) its supposed to release spores that screw up the atmosphere...

basically, its a really nasty very advanced fungus....
its living, but not really moving... think of like a bloody mushroom with spikes and an exoskeleton....

LathanStanley · Post by **LathanStanley** » 18 Mar 2006, 15:31

I have no idea, very doubtful though.....

I'm SURE they could add them though

If you only texture 2 or 3 "segments" you should be able to repeat the texture for other segments and keep the texture size down.

ah, but they are all different sizes, and have different facet counts... if that would only work...

Only units can have scripts.
