XD it's the truck!

Okay another update but a rather unfortunate one.....
The Junon elevator will not be finished in time. Reason for this is that the current nVidia 4xx/5xx cards seem to have some hardware limitations or issues that seriously affect sculpting performance in Blender ( that is used for creating dents and creases in metal parts). TBH the last upload was pretty complete apart from some areas and I just wanted to sculpt in more details.
As I am unwilling to change videocards with the new cards probably being less than 6 months away, I will call it finished for now but resume work on it as soon as I get more than 0.2 FPS

This does not mean that I am inactive but just restricts me to scenes that: 1) Only have one camera angle 2) Dont connect to FMV and now 3) where I can satisfactory results with normal maps
Expect to see more indoor scenes like this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/805/indoorwippng.png/

I can't remember if that blue truck, from the Shinra escape scene had one wheel in the back, but it looks more truck shaped to me.

*edit*

I didn't see the next page of replies. LOL.

i would guess it's the crane from the first time they escaped from Midgar. When you live for the first time.

1.) Whats the max resolution an image background can have ingame?
2.) Could someone please post a video of this room. Would like to see.

Tekkie.X · « **Reply #88 on:** 2011-09-13 12:19:55 »

I think the plan for the backgrounds might have been up to 4 times the original resolution, not sure, Spoox or sl1982 would be able to give a more exact answer.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #89 on:** 2011-09-13 14:21:45 »

You guys have some serious talent.

Timu Sumisu · « **Reply #90 on:** 2011-09-13 14:22:29 »

I think for 1900x1200 (or 1600x1200 if you keep 4:3) 5x was ideal.

sl1982 · « **Reply #91 on:** 2011-09-13 14:23:00 »

We have been working with 4x the original resolution. It works well at 1920x1080. I am afraid that anything higher then that would just cause too much slowdown for no real benefit.

Timu Sumisu · « **Reply #92 on:** 2011-09-13 14:24:21 »

SL has spoken. Let mine comment be forgotten.

sl1982 · « **Reply #93 on:** 2011-09-13 14:28:27 »

Hmm now lets look at this for a minute. I may be mistaken.

320x240 x 4 = 1280x960

320x240 x 5 = 1600x1200

So 5x would be better for 1080p, 4x better for 720p. So I would say make them 5x larger, the game can always scale it down.

anaho · « **Reply #94 on:** 2011-09-13 15:38:46 »

This does actually not make things clearer

First of all not all original backgrounds are 320x240 in size. For example my latest one was originally 352x384. Only upping the res by 3x3 makes my render 1056x1152 for this scene. 1152 is however already more the maximum of 1280x960 that can be set in Aalis Driver. So I wonder if the resolution set in Aalis driver does limit the overall image size to 1280x960. If this is the case and cant be worked around there is no way you could just rerender all backgrounds in 4x4 fashion. Maybe they would still be displayed but capped at an upper limit of 1280x960. With backgrounds like JAIL2a already being 512x640 this would leave very little room for resolution improvements. I do not see there being a speed limit but just a possible engine limitation. I hope this makes my question a little clearer and is one of the reasons I would like to know how the game handles my last render.

Prince Lex · « **Reply #95 on:** 2011-09-13 16:37:17 »

But in most cases you only see a part of the backgrounds on screen. So no matter what size the image is, they were built in mind of it being viewed in a screen resolution of 320*240.

anaho · « **Reply #96 on:** 2011-09-13 17:13:20 »

So taking the original size by 4x4 will work?
I´m upping the res then.

SpooX · « **Reply #97 on:** 2011-09-13 17:50:07 »

4 times the original background size should be sufficient, any larger is a waist of resources.
most of the backgrounds have room for movement, only some of them are the actual screen size.

anaho · « **Reply #98 on:** 2011-09-13 19:23:37 »

Lol! My bad....I somehow had those Resident Evil style backgrounds in mind, which are similar but dont scroll....
I really forgot that FF7 can scroll.....
