Can Interpolation be added to textures like in jdoom?
Just as a gl feature, well mabe sw aswell, just see how it goes

What's the difference between interpolation and the current bilinear/trilinear filtering?

He wants the animation interpolated.

Not impossible, but I don't see this being easy...

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.

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.

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.

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.

i would like it on all textures, so it can also work on custom 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.
