Blowing the texture up like that seems to have created some pixelated edges especially around some of the round parts. I would recommend doing some spot tesselation and then blending if you plan to keep that texture size. Also, after the re-color/re-grunging, it appears some of the shaded areas have become less pronounced and thus look really 2D, even for a base texture. I would recommend going through and picking out the shaded areas in the original and trying to overlay them somehow. Maybe overlay with a greyscale of the original then bring the contrast up a bit until all the flat areas are white and only the edges where the shading is shows as dark, then create a mask and reverse the mask so that only the shaded parts show over top and then play around with layer intensities until you find a level that keeps your updated texture, but also adds in the shading at a good level to make it look 3D.

Elite, where the ehck have you been? killing Teemos I presume.

Right. No need for complex hoop jumping unless it's necessary. I had some free time so I was like I KAN DO DAT.

My initial theory was to have the .projectile's .gbxmodel be the plane, and have the texture drawn when the projectile embeds itself (response of 'attach') in an object, but I didn't know wtf I was doing.

@Elite

It's without OS. I doubt what I did would be practical for all objects, however, as .garbage tags (or .decals for that matter) do not adhere to objects. This means the surface needs to remain stationary for it to look correct. I also had to use a new decal, as I didn't have the option of utilizing any framebuffer blending in a .gbxmodel.
They do have the benefit of disappearing on their own after a set time, or being the first to be deleted by the engine if there are too many objects, so there's that though.

@ All: RIP Paul walker, people on fb keep messaging me that. Who is the poor guy?

The actor who plays Brian in The Fast & Furious series.

ASCENDANTJUSTICE: I could PM any beta maps to you via halo maps, so no worries.

As for a tutorial, maybe I'll get around to it. All I do is move vertices and connect edges, Boolean, extrude and such.

Well that's weird because in Family Guy there is a dog called Brian and he had a car accident and he died.

Looking good jesse. It's been great to see how much your skills have been improving since the development of foundry.

Ever check out Halo 4's Pitfall? (No hate please).

This would be awesome as hell to see in CE, but would obviously 100% require open sauce.

So, a quick question on open sauce, (not necessarily directed at you killa unless you are helping on development) is there ever going to be dynamic decals on scenery like bullet holes, burn marks and other things that are created dynamically from ingame weapons discharge or is this 100% impossible?

Even Reach doesn't do that :(

It's something that's bugged me for years, even COD can do it!
