Yes, very shiny - but we mustn't touch ...

Looks fantastic, Cim ... is this real? Even semi-real? You're not just playing with GIMP or Photoshop for your own twisted amusement?

I think it would actually have taken longer that way.

No, apart from setting TAF x0.06 to make it easier to pick out the good frames, perfectly normal in-game screenshots.

No wonder, if you don't magically have cim's current trunk version on your computer. Are you somehow telepathically linked to cim? If not, you'll have to wait for the latest nightly build, or at least until he has committed the change to trunk, and build it yourself, just like everybody else.

Right now I find you tedious and boring Mr McLane. (In a friendly way)
It will pass soon though...

Sorry to be a PITA in two threads at the same time.

Whaaa?

I nearly fell off the chair.
They look amazing, they're perfect, I mean... are you a wizard?... they'll have an amazing effect on atmosphere I think
Oh man I can't wait to see these ingame.
Actually I can't wait to fire these!

Seriously, a wizard right?

Although I also now have Alec Guiness quoting "Use the force Luke" in my head, as they look like light-sabres.

But in a nice way...
