Google fearing about the Dreamcast knowing what it can do. I do wish DoA Community throw some weight on these videos now.

Dude, this looks way too advanced! Some lights look like it even has subsurface scattering!

Next figure out Destructible Statues really taking on Xbox 360 graphic capabilities. Shenmue got too be on the cards next.

The model has pre baked suf surface scattering, glad you noticed it!

A little update, after all those tests I am experimenting with adding lighting.

Very good! It's a shame to have lost the transparency of these posts in the middle of the stage.

Love it! Im curious, though, is there a reason the textures are lower res? Would you be able to keep the atmospheric effects too? Also, how practical would it be to use these as an alternate texture for something like lightning strikes similar to what the did on ultimate?

He's baking the lighting into the textures. Instead of using a 128x128 or so texture and repeating it across the ground something like twenty times each direction (so about 2000x2000 texels across the ground), he's using something like a 512x512 texture and NOT repeating it, which allows for having all the shadows prebuilt into it at the cost of fewer texels over an area.

Noob question. Can using a greater variety of textures on the floor solve the resolution problem?

[TapamN]

The problem isn't the maximum texture size, but how much video RAM the prebaked textures take up.
