The new graphics

from GalCiv2 Forums
They look great as they are, they definitely improve over the current graphics, which are by no means lacking, however, 2 questions.

1) Will there be bumb mapping? ie will ship and starbase hulls be undulating or will they be flat textures (either is cool I just want to know)

2) Are the special effects also getting an overhaul (weapon and defence effects) it would be nice to see the shields change colour/animation as they advance and the other defences as well.

Answers appreciated, ta!

Can't say anything about (2), but the textures are already bump/specular/normal mapped in the original GC2 (provided you have the proper hardware support to see it).

Wow, you must put in some serious hours Kryo, like 24/7! Seriously, if you're in the US what time is it?

And thanks for the quick reponse!

Kryo is cybernetically plugged into the internet. Wherever he is, whatever he is doing, he is watching this forum. He will give great advice. He will pounce on trolls. He will rebuke sinners and teach them in the ways of righteousness and glorify the Stardock name throughout the world.
