I fear If you profile your mod the fakevis function will be the big dog. Humm... If you have 2 models with 3 dif skins, its like to have 6 differents monsters. You can have 3 models with 8 diff skins, and will look like 24 diff monsters... IMHO. Your grass will look amazing with some animation. Can be done clientside? can be the grass triggered by texture shaders? Its Half-Life "bsp-tile-world" friendly? Maybe you can copy & clone a single bsp model over and over in the map ( setting the model to *1 ). This way the model "look" will be map specific. I know a GTA3 alike mod that work this way, with basic architecture details coded as func_ structures (the name of this mod is BIGMAP) and fake a real BIG BIG BIG city with bsp models... http://wiki.quakesrc.org/index.php/bigmap About grass.... I have some models, crap, .... Do you know the furr effect? ITs a particle effect that fake grass magically... but need a lot of trans planes with green dots. Not really usable, but interesting. http://forum.moddb.com/6/390/ <--- unusable but funny, mdl based _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
