cartoony visuals

In Response To: Cartoonish??? (DarkSkies) : or is it just me? it's funny that you should mention that the video looks cartoonish. one of the final stages in preparation for every halo level is the calculation of lighting information. that footage was taken from a build which does not have any lighting on the snow map. I guess they were just mistakenly using an incomplete daily build. if you look at all of the scenes outside in the snow, in the angular interiors and out on the bridge, you'll see that the environment polygons are flat-shaded and all the characters have full brightness. that's why you could be forgiven for thinking it looks very jet grind radio. :) once lit, plague's textures really shine on that level. you'll have to take my word for the fact that it is even more beautiful when prepared properly, like the lighting on the grassy exterior map that was also shown. - butcher
