About 15 minutes, between the time I logged on TS and told Interpol I'd join him on Solsar, and the time I actually got in game, when it had just been resecured.
Snow itself is generated, not individually animated. There's just one snowflake, a bit of code to replicate it 175 times with different sizes, positions and opacities, give them rough sinusoid paths with random velocities.. and influence the y-coord. based on mouse offset. About 8 lines of code in total.
Jban wanted a Santa.. I already had one from an e-card I made back in high school, so I just pasted him in, and it was a done deal.
Glad you guys like it.  |

Now how about that Reaver(or flock of mossies/reavers) following santa?
Couldn't you just get a couple images, duplicate them, and then animate them in a straight line behind Old Saint Nick?

I sure could Tybo... I could also use volumetric smoke for the Reaver rockets, a lens flare for the snow blinding effect, a moving skybox, throw in some BFRs in there, a hotdropper taking him out, and who knows.. *maybe* even an AMS. Maybe.
lol, I don't want to spend too much time on it.  |

But the image definitely needed a change. It had been there, almost static, for well over a year and a half now. I could certainly flash it up with something cooler in the future. I initially wanted full video up there but felt it was making the page too busy, people would just skip to the forums, etc.

You know, speaking of vidoes, with all these 1CMM& friends, around, maybe it's time someone put together another one, it's been awhile.
Heck, Preach was supposed to make an epic Scat max vid awhile back, but it never materilized. :{
If i had more HD room a better rig, I would make one for sure. |

If you get that IE security warning message at the top, just click on it and choose "Download File".
