{skin}bumpmapped monitor

[INSANEdrive]

Explain what you mean Insane.

Let me put it this way.... the way you explaned everything "sounded" like it came from an informentive book or workshop program...

It's not actually bump-mapped. Through a long and painful process, I've realized that bump-mapping on models themselves IS NOT possible. You can normal map a model using a trick called the modifier glass shader trick, but it only appears as a lit-cubemap, aka frenzel map. Light sources don't affect it. ....

...and just sparked this vagie Idea in my head I had to post


...Also any words with google or links I could/should try

Yeah I have a habit of going into details with things. I do it way too much, look, there I'm doing it again!

Bump-mapping, Normal-Mapping, Bumped-Reflections in Games, etc, try em all

i know he wasnt putting my skin down sorry if i soubded like i was going brute style but it was getting on my nerves bout a few things that everything i said wasnt good enough....
ok its not bumpmapping its replicating bumpmappings its still gives more detail than it did and il be releasing a whole skin pack like it when i get my pc back and once ive made the skins i wont rush them ether.
ive already got a upgraded version of this skin on my pc but it needs repare cos it has a faulty bios chip the thing that kicks everything in the pc off so its being rebuilt at the pc shop.
i appologise if i went over the top.

im happy that this dispute has settled down (i hope)

GET UR COMP, I DONT CARE IF U HAVE TO STEAL IT BACK

what do u mean "whole skin pack" do u mean like, a lot of skins, or just a couple ?

[=sw=warlord]

how can i steal my own pc i bought it my self i even know the exact specs of it and if i tolfd u it would put alot of people here down with thier pc. but they peobly dont have as mant problems as i ive had with my pc.
what i mean whole skin pack i mean whole lot like a couple of skins i mean every charactor and possibly the vehicles also.
