B5 - basic lighting shadow lag
by Orion Elenzil · in Torque 3D Professional · 08/20/2009 (5:39 pm) · 7 replies
the BL sun shadow seems to lag behind the actual character by one or two frames.
i haven't determined if it's lag in the player position or lag in the player mesh deformation (the former seems more likely, since i assume the mesh is deformed for each player each frame).
this tends to make the player feel like they're floating.
personally i'd prefer a simple oval on the floor w/ good registration over a laggy silhouette.
i've got a video uploading now which demonstrates.

Fraps uses a proprietary video codec. You'll have to convert it to a standard video codec before people without Fraps, or websites with converters, will be able to handle it.

@Orion, the issue's been fixed for the next release. Just didn't make it into B5.
