Update #10
Subject description: (on air!)
Have had fun with AlphaImage again. Spent a day trying to create holographic broadcast screen effect and pretty happy with results. Both have simple animation for even nicer effect.

They fit in very nicely, makes me wonder why no one else has though of doing these before _________________

I love them, but maybe a little more transparency on the holograms would sell the "I'm composed entirely of light" thing. Also, needs 'H' on forehead. QUICK_EDIT
The holographic screen is great but nothing special imo. I'm much more interested to know how you got the cool alpha-headlights on the tank and bike? Afaik are unit-following, facing specific alphaimages not possible. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

I find it more special that the headlights on units. The latter is possible because of Ares. However these holograms look unbelievably smooth. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Ares allows to use multi-faced alpha image. New code can calculate correct facing out of total frame counter. So 32-faced Alpha image serve well for a headlights.
HasSpotlight= is nice feature but i havn't found any use to it yet.
As for holos, there is nothing special indeed.
Exept probably fact it have fncking good AlphaImage.
And animation.
And since cast edit it also cast proper lighting. _________________ Gangster is a Project Perfect Wuj (c)Aro QUICK_EDIT

wow, I didn't even think of using AlphaLights like that.. Gangster, do you mind if I use that technique in some of my own work? _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT
WOW! I would assume AlphaImage is not in TS? if thats true........someone *cough* CCHyper *cough* should consider adding it to TS. That would be awesome! _________________

I know, Gangster, but you're sort of the innovator. nobody's done it like that, and i dont wanna steal your idea. That's why I asked. _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT

I guess you can,since the logic was made public
Thing is,people never try to think outside the box,at stuff such as crop fields,which could be easily implemented(sandwalls anybody?)
TI B.E.M uses the same technique for a while now too.
What Alpha lighting? A few mods have used this well before Rewire or TI or whatever (Norvus Ordo etc, or you know, original TS...). _________________ QUICK_EDIT

No,I guess he means both.
How come?
he could:
-Create that concrete base which could be destroyed by tanks
-Create that globe and use alphalight there. QUICK_EDIT
