I think that shadows on the train being lower quality is fine and actually good. The painter John Singer Sargent was a master of doing this. The focal points are all high detail but stuff fades into the background to be more primiative shapes to give the illusion of detail. This is where it's great design for the train to have slightly lower shadow quality. Our minds will put the pieces together for us.

[@internetbodhi1009]

@@go_golden my point being no one asked for the current situation. CSGO was already 120/144hz compatible. And hits actually registered. The people asking for a new CS are the people that play a COD for a year and then buy the next one. People complaining about tickrate are either ultrasweats, or people that *think* they are good. 99.99% of people would see a more appreciable difference in their supposed "performance" if they actually bought a good router, a legitimate, verified internet plan with guaranteed Gb connection speeds (instead of corporate bs 4Gig! Faster than NASA! overpriced garbage), Cat6/7 ethernet cord, and a better pc instead of some RGB clear case FaZe edgelord box with the equivalent of a chromebook inside for $2k. The human body cannot react much faster than 250ms. Then factor in the obsession with wireless keyboards and mice, add more delay. TLDR: My point being the people who asked think one millisecond is what's making them miss Global Elite. The same people that complain complex games can't run well on a Steam Deck. The vocal, uneducated minority, as always, won over the contentment of many casual/semi competitive gamers that were happy to just have a working game.

You know that the crappy lighting in CS:GO's kitchen isn't an engine fault but an art decision. The props could have been flagged to compiled with vertex lighting and the lightmap scale could have been dialed down. Why are you pretending to have forgot? You used to make tutorials on this sort of thing.

[@beea314]

Amazing video, one of your best this year, loved the jab at dumbs saying you use AI for your scripts Always love a caboosing halfway through

[@xyzabc123-o1l]

the effect you described at 5:14 about the one way textures for seeing/not seeing through the train is achieved through comparing the normal vector (aka "direction the thing is facing") of the player's camera (aka their face/eyes) against the normal vector of the train's underskirt. if the dot product of those two normals is greater than or less than a certain value, then either the geometry of the skirt is rendered with an opague texture, or a completely transparent one, as if it wasn't even there :)

[@stevethepocket]

I think it's just taking advantage of Source's backface culling. They just faced the surface normals inward rather than outward like you'd normally do. Fake outlines in cel-shaded games work similarly.

[@xyzabc123-o1l]

@ if that's the case then it isn't anything Source specific, as dx12 and vulkan just allow you to simply specify backface culling as pipeline state, but still i think backface culling itself as it is implemented on the GPU is doing exactly what im describing

[@vibaj16]

that's just automatically done by backface culling. All triangles only render if they're facing the camera.

[@vibaj16]

@@xyzabc123-o1l yes, it's doing what you're describing, except it isn't a "transparent texture", it just doesn't render anything

[@xyzabc123-o1l]

@@vibaj16 i understand that in this specific case, the triangles are just simply discarded by the vertex shader, but in the case where some extra effect was needed (for example if it was some glass effect where the normal of the face determined some behavior), then transparency (and the triangles/pixels behind the train skirts) would need something more than just backface culling like i was originally saying. sorry for getting those ideas mixed :)
