Jaggies...
Does anyone know how to get rid of (or mask) the jaggies in this preset?

The dynmove is a lot like the one in UnConeD's 'cubic flower' preset. I really liked the look of the square tunnel, and was hoping to do something more with it :)

You need to use alpha blending. Search the forums to figure out how.

Here`s a fixed version.I just put my tunnel code and those lines dont appear so bad now and it looks a bit better IMO :)

Anubis: not necessarily, in my tunnel DM i curved the corners a little to smooth it out. You can do this by changing:
x=(if(equal(k1,k),y1,x1));
to
x=(if(k1,y1,x1));
but this ruins the texture on two of the sides. Havent looked at phazes try that.

True dat. I still like the alpha blended corners though. Looks kinda cool, IMO.

yeah, i like the alpha blended corners a lot, i couldnt figure out an equation for alpha that would do the corners, and still leave it blending at some reasonable distance down the tunnel :)

i changed the alpha equation in yours (Phaze) to:

alpha=2/sqrt(sqr(k*dxc)+sqr(k*dyc))-.43;

and it hid the sides really well, all i need now is a fade bit :)
thanks everyone ^_^

fixed it right after i posted >.<

alpha=min(2/sqrt(sqr(k*dxc)+sqr(k*dyc))-.43,1/k);

well, i started out with tekno as a username a while back... 98 i thin... then decided that was silly, and wanted to move on to moltar, like on space ghost :) unfortunatly, it was already taken most places i wanted to register it, so i added an x and became MoltarX :)

probably not as interesting an origin as it could have....

ok...im satisfied now :) Atero knows the other reason too heheh

NO!!!! He asked me what was the other reason of my satisfaction and i said it...Pay more attention anubis,you naughty naughty boy ! :D
Btw, what did you do in cheerleader camp he ? :)

Aside from the first 7 posts, this thread has the intellectual capacity of the average dung beetle.

Isn't that the goal of most message boards? :)

Raz

26th March 2003 16:33 UTC

No, the goal is to help people and provide tech support. Go to GD if you want pointless discussions about how people bathe and cartoon network characters.

27th March 2003 06:59 UTC

Raz, but what if you want pointless discussions about avs & avs people? :p I mean how other way we are all going to know what kind of assholes we all are :blah:

Completely useless post but what the heck, at 5/day no one cares.

Ignore that, was in a mood. Go ahead go nuts, we're the main users of the forum we can talk about whatever, just don't keep the discussion away from avs.
