Hello,

I'm putting my current render templates to test and updating the lighting of them. So the order is:

Original TS // Original TS + Ambient occulsion overlay // Mix of Original TS and new lighting // New lighting


New lighting is about giving more ambient occulsion to the model, so details under shadow won't get undetailed.

Opinions / suggestions?

I think third from left might actually look the best out of that bunch. Ambient occlusion just looks a bit weird on TS/RA2 sprite graphics when the actual shadow frame-based shadows are still sharp as hell, though.

Is this supposed to fit with RA2? 3 and 4 don't really look like they would.

I'd reckon it's meant for TS #Tongue

@Starkku: As a stand-alone for a new game/mod project or to fit with TS/RA2? And I know that shadow-frames is a bitch without anti-aliased edges. Only if someone could add AA support on .SHPs.

@Speeder: That's also the point. Actually I forgot to mention that I want to see if the improved lighting could fit with RA2 and TS. Also, if the new lighting would work better as a stand-alone for a new game/mod project.

I uploaded the same comparison with first three lighting styles with TS scaled building to see difference better.

If only cloaking would work with them. Sad
