Plan for James "Corvidae" Williams

They now propagate light. It's not quite perfect yet (the far side of the glass is dark), but it's getting there. Slowly. :)
In other news, I rejoined a mod team I was with back in my Half-Life days (oh, so long ago...) who's porting their project to Torque. I'm working with the very talented Mark Mozynski on it, and things are starting to shape up nicely. A good percentage of the art is already done and just needs to have the poly count upped / converted to .dts. Not to mention it's a great team. Man, it's so nice having artists again... :)
For more information, check out their site here.
More work on transparencies as time warrants.

Beffy: They're just not included in the shadow volume calculations, which essentially removes them from the lightmap calculations.Mark: Hey, I'm just calling it how I see it. :)

Hey james, this is looking really cool man. Once you tweak this up, are you planning on releasing this as a code snippet (I think I might have already asked you this, but I can't remember :) )?

Ryan: Yes you asked, and yes I am. :) Maybe this weekend, once I touch up the code (it's more than a little hackish right now).

Been thinking of doing it for Chris' version http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=4648
Is it inside the interiors only or can you have a window looking out to terrain, and does the light go throught the trans onto terrain?

If you need a beta tester again, let me know... ;) I'm sure you will get this to work!
What approach do you use now? Do you treat them as portals now, or some "combination" of entities?
