I'd almost rather gargle with glass than say what I'm going to say, but...

You're a really talented guy Dave!

:P

Psionic is mostly responsible for the way it looks! I am proud of the way it all 'hangs together' though.

If only I had known that before I'd posted! I feel far more comfortable praising Psionic than you.

I've always enjoyed a game of tennis so I'm looking forward to playing this. A highly illegal warez copy of course. I'm not about to start filling your pockets with my hard earned cash!

Looks like GabrielKnight47 is goin' to have some competition from the looks of things....

Nice lookin btw, only thing that bothers me is how bright the grass is compared to everything else.....but then thats just me.

I will definitely be buying this game and anime tennis babes.

Huh? I didn't know that you can play tennis on grass!

Looks nice , but it would be cool to see some shadows from the barriers cast on the grass. It looking very bright all over right now.

Looks nice, like the sign "DrinkDeuce" :)

@po you been living under a rock?

'Huh? I didn't know that you can play tennis on grass!'

Well you can, but it may slow your reactions down.

Do think that's why it's called Lawn Tennis?...Hmmm...


YAN

Huh? I didn't know you could play tennis with balls.

Looking good Gfk. ;)

I have never heard the term Lawn Tennis. Normal people call it just Tennis! I have only seen tennis courts on concrete. I have heard of lawn bowling though! I think the real name for it is "Boche Ball". It's such an old fogey sport.

Are those 'normal' people the same ones that call football, soccer, by any chance?

Tennis
Lawn Tennis

;o)


Looking good GFK/Psionic BTW :o)


YAN

Looking great Dave.

Nice, Dave! And Psionic!

I don't know why I call football soccer. soccer should be called football. And football should be calles throwball.

'nother one. With more grass in it.

Looking NICE! .. but indeed, the grass IS a little on the bright side.

Tracer

Yeah but its intentional - you find in tennis that grass courts do tend to look very 'bright':

I think it's a little too fluorescent. Try raising the R and B vals by 10 and lowering the G by 5 in photoshop and repost.

:P

Fluorescent grass tennis, well at night you could carry on playing without flood lights :)

Dulled down the grass a bit, due to 'popular demand' ;)

Better :) Only now it's slightly too bluish... I think this is nicer:

----
Hue -55
Saturation -32
Lightness +7
----
Brightness +13
Contrast +8

Rich is hoping for more sexy tennis babes. Bikini mode? :)

L8r,

That's some nice grass Fredborg :)

Yo GfK! Are those shadows real-time? I'm looking for a good way to do decent-looking, real-time shadows...

Kind of.

Load a second copy of the player mesh, colour it black, squash it flat, and animate in the same way as the player model itself.

Might be a bit poly-intensive depending on implementation, but with a couple of fairly low-poly tennis players, its not a problem, its fast, and looks good as well. :)

Yes, Fredborg's grass is 'right'! ...IMO :)

Who cares? It's grass. Let it go...

we, potential customers care :)
