In Response To: Re: Halo "Swarms" better than "Clan (Howitzer) > Hitscan and skins are terms that apply to any 3d game (with > weapons) and you can thank Quake for making most gamers aware of > what they mean and how the technical side of a game works. The proper term is "texture map," or at the very least "texture." "Skins" is a Quake term that other games started using. I don't see how knowing the names of programming and rendering techniques makes you any more knowledgeable on the technical side of a game. How many gamers actually learned how to do inverse kinematics, radiosity lighting, and trilinear filtering after hearing the term? - Bachus bachus@killerrobots.com
