Gas Bags?

I'd like to see someone who has some kind of idea how to LUA stuff to try something out.

Make a 3D model of a "Stalk" and then draw the "Top" of a circular gas-plant top floating on top of the stalk and moving around a bit, locked to face the camera... A lot of games used to cheat... items in Doom is a good example... There are a lot of visual glitches that come from this kind of cheat but they are drastically reduced by a round texture and the fact that the camera doesn't move around much... you need some kind of LUA in the map to keep it moving.

You mean a sprite?

Yes, a moving sprite for the gasbag "top" and then a static model for the stalk.

use gl.Billboard to draw it as a sprite.
