frostwyrm333 1 Posted May 23, 2012 gif looks nice, but I can't see anything important. Is soon today or tomorrow? Somebody mentioned Thursday but I don't remember specific mention of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maio 293 Posted May 23, 2012 gif looks nice, but I can't see anything important. Is soon today or tomorrow? Somebody mentioned Thursday but I don't remember specific mention of this. I did. They released all their updates on Thursday's ;) I can't be sure due to the size, but it does look like the hangar blocks the light from the sirens, so that's a plus over A2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf 12 Posted May 23, 2012 Very nice indeed, but will those multiple light sources cast shadows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frostwyrm333 1 Posted May 23, 2012 @maionaze yes, that is the (only) logical conclusion but the quality of the gif makes it useleess. Also blinking light are new but I think they are doable for A2. @Smurf I don't think so, also normal lighting would make this unnecessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniperwolf572 758 Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Also blinking light are new but I think they are doable for A2. They actually look like rotating directional lights to me. EDIT: Additionally, the brake lights are also casting lights this time around, instead of just being glowing planes on the back. This might be a hint to the dynamic light shadow casting, since the pattern on the ground seems to indicate that the car is actually blocking the light source.

b00ce 160 Posted May 23, 2012 It looks like the light is going through the hangar, but I can't tell if it is the window or not. Stupid tiny gif. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flash Thunder 10 Posted May 23, 2012 Rotating directional lights? Brake lights actually casting light possible deffered shading? Either way the lighting engine is getting some splendid work can't wait to read the technicals on it. When the gif first loaded I thought you uploaded a BF3 gif for comparison or something :eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Cat 10 Posted May 23, 2012 I don't think that's a hangar, the ground is rough. Maybe a tunnel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colossus 2 Posted May 23, 2012 I don't think that's a hangar, the ground is rough. Maybe a tunnel? It's a hangar. Can't recall the name of them, but I know it's mentioned somewhere in the Confirmed Features thread. Either way, here is a picture (link) of it.

Black Cat 10 Posted May 23, 2012 Wait, are these moblie hangars? Because in the gif the ground is rough and rocky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steakslim 1 Posted May 23, 2012 What does the ground have to do with anything. Look closely at the gif, it's a mobile hangar much like what Maionaze posted, placed in some random location (or not so random) with a police car (?) sitting outside one of the openings, with the player standing in the foreground. You can see the night sky around and through the hangar if you look hard enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas 5 Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) These are the hangars that he is talking about. Can't you see them??? Edited May 23, 2012 by Nicholas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frostwyrm333 1 Posted May 23, 2012 For the first time I noticed that the hangar doesn't have a back side, also what is the thing on players head? It kinda looks like crosshair. I guess that this frame looks most interesting: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/543/25770758.png/, but its still unclear, meh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas 5 Posted May 23, 2012 They are temporary hangars. The ones in the photo's below are for a blimp, but they are the same exact concept and design.
