BI Developer's Blog: An interesting new entry

[Maio 293]

Maybe render to texture ? Working rear view mirrors ? New protective eyerwear ?

[da12thMonkey 1943]

whats the brand of the glasses?

Julbo (model is Explorer XL looking at their site ;))

[roberthammer 582]

I hope it means "render to texture" and not just new factory or something stupid :D

[jakerod 254]

renaming the file? Can you see the extension in your explorer? You need to make sure you can see the extension to be able to change it.

Oh btw, I googled third time lucky and arma and I stumbled upon this :

You want me to rename it to this?: http://www.bistudio.com/images/stories/blogs/developer/taking_on/focus.rar

Also, are the reflections in his glasses photoshopped or altered in some way? The one seems to be really bright and the other kind of dark. That may be possible depending on some factors but anyone else have any thoughts on it.

Download the file and rename it on your harddrive.

And the reflection are obviously photoshopped since I think we should be able to see the end of the building in the left lense (left for us) or the rest of the thingy (I guess a chopper) in the right one.

Why julbo ?

Edit: oh it's the brand of the glasses.

Couldn't read what it was.

Maybe the glasses model then?

Edit 2: found the model name and it doesn't work either. The model name is "Explorer".

Look at the meta data on the image and you'll see it really has been Photoshopped. ;)

Isn't it possible that they just used it to brighten the picture or something though?

I did realize that there is a beam from what I am assuming the front of the helicopter cutting across the inside sides of the glasses that would cover up the end of the building. And with the way the sun is in the image it is possible that both are not photoshopped. Could be wrong though.

[Emualynk 10]

The model of the glasses was apparently made in cooperation with the elite climbing school of Chamonix which makes me think judging by the guy outfit that he might be from this school or a mountain rescuer.

found this :

which corelates with the fact he might be a rescuer.

(it's from there : http://www.heli-archive.ch/index.php?id=84&L=1)

I got it, its photoshoped, so i used some filter, level adjustment and the hidden text will appear in the right glass. Riddle is solved. Mystery is revealed.

Are you talking about in the dead center of the reflection? Bigfoot? Photographer? Maruk with a lightsaber?

Perhaps we should make a list of possible passwords.

Seattle

Focus

md500

md_500

md520

md_520

focus

sharper

enhance

42

helicopter

reflection

harder

Perhaps we should make a list of possible passwords. Seattle, Focus, md500, md_500, md520, md_520, focus, sharper, enhance, 42, helicopter, reflection

Add harder to the list since it says focus harder in the description of the second picture.
