helicoptor rotors?

confactor · Soldier **Joined**: 07 May 2005

I think this is one of the most annoying features of ts. so I think we should do something about it. since voxels dont affect the light around them or have there own animations I suggest using pixel screens to create the illusion of rotors. pixel screens will filter out light much like a fast moving rotor would and will give some appearance, I think, of a real rotor. anyway heres some examples.

btw rotor color is different for ts because its overall brightness is lower...

what do you think of this primitive method Very Happy

I should also mention that this commanche voxel was made by tyler adams and modified by denmon

you have a good point, but I do not like those screens ( no offense) some lines should be more obvious

yes, the pixels are virtually random, and it isnt even circular, but oval. making a good screen which filters like a checker board was my original idea, but at those angles it is difficult to make that...

Try making it like this:

Code:

I see your logic, however, if the image is turned 90 degrees this pattern works against itself. the pattern has to consist of two or more layers. I used two for the one above, but the placement was random.

if i use your logic that would mean that every pixel at a tilt could equal two. this cuts the pixel volume [that I want filled[50%]in half making it 25%. but in order to also account for two directions its 25%². making the volume 1/16? that seems a bit small to me. I am trying a pattern that is 1/8 that looks good. I'll have to get to it tommorow, sleepy Razz

Confactor, the Voxels forum is for finished voxels only. I've moved this topic to Media Hut, which is where you discuss anything related to graphics and sounds.

I think that's resized by HVA Builder's voxel bounds...

It looks like it could be good, good, but the shitty jpg burns my eyes.
