Today the Rocket Man officially appeared in the engine. He does not have the power to arm his rocket and fire at stuff, but he's rigged and ready to go.
Between compiles I have been experimenting with some tweaked lighting models. One of them is to use pre-baked ambient occlusion texture map and slerp it with the direct lighting model from the sun based on the ambient global term. This results in you seeing more of the rock details, even if the shadow and sun conspire to try and make the entity very dark. Of course setting ambient to zero will give you your striking dark shadows and entity shading again!
Also been watching a few YouTube videos of real rocket launchers to get a feel for what our rockets should feel like. Of course real life and computer games are sometimes worlds apart, but it's good to start somewhere and I've never been one for just copying what some other games do (at least, not as a starting point). That said, I must admit to having watched a few GTA5 rocket fights!
Finally here is something from last night, where I gave the Spec Ops character a glowing eyes illumination map to test the new _I support violently requested by the community. While I was in the code, I also added _O support which now stands for Ambient Occlusion Map support.
I had another shot which I would have liked to share with you which shows one of our character models exhibiting a facial bones problem when in ragdoll mode causing his teeth to multiply by a factor of ten and thrust out of his jaw into the world but that was a little silly...
