24 September 2005 05:14 (UK time) I am sure somewhould have posted about this if they knew, but I decided to let you all in on this. http://www.meteormods.com/meteor2/MiscFiles.asp Its the Meteor 2 introduction movie in 1500kbps quality. I may have time this year to remake it in h.264, but that would take a while to render. Hopefully a storyline will be ncluded in meteor 2 that explains what I know when I made this video. Also, new Meteor2 maps are the only thing that will on the top of meteormods.com now. All the extra files will not be seen there, so you should check the pages every now and then.

27 September 2005 20:39 (UK time) A render in a game typically = a visualization showing a concept of what the games objects/ect looks like in game. It is usually a 3D/highly detailed version of the actual object that is used in-game. Renders are used commonly as teasers, screenshots to hype up a game, or in-game cinimatics. So, "rendering" is the process of making the renders. Many 3D games (such at Unreal or Unreal Tourny) make high quality renders of the objects, show them off, and then use those objects and dumb them down (making the polygon count lower, lower quality textures, removing some features, pretty much making it less detailed) for in-game use. Almost all games though never use renders for in-game, as the computers/engine could never run such high-quality stuff (assuming its a 3D game). Although, over at http://www.elderscrolls.com , on their game called "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion", this company is truely probibly the first company to use (and have it work wonderfully) render-like graphics for in-game. And its not guided either, its a full time FPS/RPG, where you can do almost anything you want. Sure is gonna change the way new games are made. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

27 September 2005 20:40 (UK time) Almost got it right! Rendering is the process by which a 3D model is givin a final pass by a computer system to calculate features of the model that do not render in real time such as bump mapping, reflections, opacity, and various other non-realtime effects. When I render a scene, my coputer calculates the scene, and makes every frame into a picture, and then puts it into a video file.

22 October 2005 14:24 (UK time) Hee Hee Hee. I believe that the original songs from Final Melody were all .it/.s3m./.mod or .mp3. I used statshine from Minimus for a while in the movie, but I switched to Simons song, b/c it was in the game. In the .s3m soundtrack the song doesn't play. Its just for soundfx.
