In Response To: Re: Out of curiosity... (Adam Ashwell)

: Well, that depends on which textures you're using. Lores, midres, or
: insanely-hires? The lores textures, I admit, look kinda like shit. The
: midres look pretty good, in my opinion. But you see Eternal the way it was
: meant to be seen using the hires textures. Forrest designed the textures
: in 512x512, and to get them into midres and lores, he had to scale them
: down. The result was that the lores looked like shit, and the midres, as
: I've said, were only pretty good.

I picked the middle option and went for the middle-resolution textures. It's true, they don't look bad to me, but they're not especially exciting either, in my opinion. I suppose I'm comparing them to the textures from the original Marathon and Marathon Infinity and Rubicon, where there were details like different wall types above and below particular lines. When repeated over a large area, to be sure, it would draw attention to itself, but in a corridor 1 world unit high it would give visual variety.

I suppose that isn't my largest objection, though. What looks the oddest to me is that the Pfhor Fighter staff seems slightly crooked in its "in-hand" graphics.
