The refractive shaders you may have seen in the E3 demo would be a way to get that effect, but they only work on dx8- and dx9- level hardware (GeForce 3 and up, or Radeon and up, for example). If you want the mod to run on low-end hardware (dx6 or dx7), you're pretty much stuck with simply using translucency for your effect.


Some-guy:
But is it possible? to bind the texture change to a sort of a 'lean' action i mean.

Brian:
Oh yeah; we have a skinning feature; you'd could switch skins based on the leaning state; also we have a way of plugging game state into the shaders so you can make him more or less translucent based on how long you've been leaning against the wall, etc.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Is it just me, or does that sound like a <i>really</i> slick way to do a built in camoflage system for skulks. (The changing of skins). Also, I think that the amount of totally awesome stuff possible when HL2 FINALLY comes out worthy of another post to add to the enormous list of HL2 "OLO THIS WUD BE SO KEWL" posts. Thoughts?

    No one will ever tell me if NS has been confirmed for the Source engine!

    Tell meeeee!!!

    They should make the cloaked aliens out of water like in that old demo where it showed the character made of water standing in the fire.

    It hasn't been confirmed, Flayra is looking for an engine. (all those choices hl2 isn't the only one)

    Happy?

    War is peace.

    Ignorance is strength.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Source is creativity.

    It would be even better to see NS on the Unreal 3 engine. I would immediately suffer a coronary arrest and die with excitement.

    LAst we heard from him, Flay sounds a lot less against the idea of porting NS to Source. It could happen. But I don't think the final decision has been made at this point, and given that Flay wants his new company to actually produce a new game they can make some real money on to prove themselves, I would think a ported NS might be a problem considering that they'd need to liscence Source if they wanted to sell it for money.

    Give us Kylie and you might have a deal!

    on a more serious note, i'd say it's kinda pointless to discuss what HL2 effects we'd like for NS2, first of all since it hasn't been confirmed that it's going on HL2(at least, i haven't heard it), and the devs probably have ideas, or their own private discussions.
