Sorry to inform you, but you've been living in a cave, that model has been released for about a month.

And also Lazer said in coil's link in the first post. Wow coil that model is k00l i cant wait to see some kind of HUD like Metroid oh man i cant wait. Check out the second screenshot, the red-and-black skinned one - you'll see a fin down its back that is not visible in other skins (masked transparency), as well as the semitransparent fire (additive transparency). edit- This model is a perfect example of both forms of transparency. This allows for effects like the welder previously shown, with the transparent window.Īll in all, this adds up to YUMMY in the modeling department. The second is called additive transparency, and is similar to the way additive transparency works in mapping - you have a full range of transparency, from solid to see-through, using a gradient of white-to-black in your texture. What's really cool is that if you're reskinning a model and would like to remove part of it (say he's got a mohawk, and you'd rather make him a skinhead), it's a piece of cake - just texture the elements you want to remove as transparent. *Excellent* for keeping poly counts down. What this means is that you can make complex structures - like the leaves of a plant - out of a single brush, and then rely on the texture to pick out individual leaves. The first, Masked transparency, works the same way grate textures work in mapping - anything on the texture that is solid blue (or solid red, or whatever - the last color on your palette) is rendered transparent. There are two kinds of transparency supported. Player models, weapon models, view models, world models - anything.
