Trying to work out what kind of environmental details should be modeled as 3D elements or be part of flat 2D textures.
And I've come up with the Grab Test.
"Can you grab it?"
If something is protruding enough from an object that you could grab it, it gets modeled as part of the mesh. If it's too flat to grab, it will be part of the texture.
I think that will work well for the fidelity I want to work at.
This is the post that gets all the favorites and boosts? This banal blurt about bad graphics from someone with no experience in the field? 😄
Not the one about the ethics of liberating game design from American cultural hegemony?
Not how I had pictured the Mastodon crowd in my mind.😅
@Ck That is not the topic here. The topic is games set in the 20th/21st century or the future, that have been developed outside of North America.
I am thinking of:
Ace Combat
Alan Wake
Bad Company
Control
Crysis
Cyberpunk 2077
all David Cage games (he's French)
Desperados
Hitman
Horizon
Killzone
Life is Strange
Mafia
Max Payne
Metal Gear Solid
Mirror's Edge (could maybe be UK)
Resident Evil
Not really an issue in Japan, mostly in Western/Northern Europe.
