Vegetation interaction with characters

matt.b · 04-23-2006, 01:06 PM

Hi, not sure if this is do-able, but since the helicopters can cause vegetation within a certain area of influence to sway (overgrowth certainly, not sure about undergrowth) would it be possible to use this same technique with character models & trigger a slower sway value on vegetation, possibly even something that's velocity-dependant?

Far cry did this to good effect, & I think it's something that would really add to the realism of environments.

I vote for venus flytaps eating snipers and other lone wolf types. Plus MEC and USMC teaming up to defeat attacking flytraps.

EVERY ONE: have a look at the latest crysis movie, it is every thing we want PR to be but it is a little way away in the future, around a year BUT it will/ could be one of the greatest FPS ever, none of this mediocar rubbish like BF2, COD2 and mabey FEAR.

Sorry the reason being is that all plant and object interact with human, it is truely amazing watching trees being cut up by bullets and grass pushed away by a crouching soldier - THE FUTURE - CRYSIS!

chrysis vid links for you. Plus Chrysis is DX10 the hardware specs to run that must be beyond belief i mean there isn;t even any DX10 cards out right now.

True, but the company that get's one out just before Crysis will make a ton of cash.

ATI an Nvidia will probaly realase DX10 cards at about the same time simply for competions stake at that point it will be Nvidia fanboys Vs. ATI fanboys as to which sells the most.

If I ever get a good enough computer to get this game, I would get it for the mods. Imagine playing with this engine on Iwo Jima or Guadalcanal.
