Just as a gl feature, well mabe sw aswell, just see how it goes

Re: Interpolate Textures
What's the difference between interpolation and the current bilinear/trilinear filtering?

Re: Interpolate Textures
He wants the animation interpolated.
Not impossible, but I don't see this being easy...

Re: Interpolate Textures
i know it ain't very easy
but since it still can be done, i would like to see it done, instead of me continuing on making the textures fade between each other with photoshop and animdefs.

Re: Interpolate Textures
Look, just because you "want" to see it done doesn't mean it will be done. I know Graf pretty well, and let me tell you a pretty well-known fact about him:
If he doesn't consider it worth his time, it doesn't get done. Period.

Re: Interpolate Textures
Interpolated/blended animated textures can look very nice. timmie did it with ZdoomGL. However, he did it for all animated textures/flats and, IMO, it is certainly something that needs to be optional on a per-animation basis (via animdefs). Some things (mainly liquids) look really good "blending" but some other things (eg animated computers) can often look strange.

Re: Interpolate Textures
Yeah, afaik, this interpolation thingie is also in the Doomsday engine and I always liked it. Making it optional though for certain textures via ANIMDEFS is the better way to go.

Re: Interpolate Textures
i would like it on all textures, so it can also work on custom textures

Re: Interpolate Textures
Naturally it would be available on all textures. What I would propose, if it was to be included, is a key word of some sort that can be used in ANIMDEFS. That way an end user/modder could use it on any texture/flat that he wanted to "interpolate" and not use it on textures/flats where the non-interpolated system was required. So, you could have a normally animated computer texture sitting next to a nice pool of blended nukage in the same WAD*. ie, the best of both worlds.
*I wish to point out that electronic equipment should not be placed near liquids unless it is specifically designed to be liquid tolerant. I cannot accept any liability for the damage to computers placed too near nukage pools and I do not recommend doing so. Any computer so placed is the responsibility of the person placing the computer.
