?:] Detail texture add the high frecuency information that is los with low-res captures (512x512,..). These high freceucny information is repetitivy... so you can store has a separate 128x128 grayscale file. You combine the main texture with detail texture to have a texture that look much better. > But with scrolling textures and stuff, that's pretty much already taken > care of, albeit a little tougher.

Yay.. not problem. For me. But the engine is still usefull. If Valve dont want to enhance it, maybe can release the source of render, or something... and other people will try something. >HL2 supports shaders and all that neat > stuff, so if you DO want to use shaders and things, HL2 is gonna be nice > for that.
