Is Nikos Panagopoulos a post op transsexual?

Certainly not packing much heat eh Reminds me of early release action man figures

Digital ken doll. I wonder if he has a sassy voice.

The way he holds the cigarette is very suspicious

real men use the thump

Umm.. Dwarden informed the community on the BI forums in this very thead...

They are also up to 8 new screenshots and dozens of others on gaming news websites, but yeah, repeating the point of a thread in the thread is odd.

the post doesnt only repeat the news but also copyies the post in the exact same way switching only one or two words.

ohh and regarding nikos background a little bit more. Lets pretend the guys in the grey suits and red cloths on the arm are the guerillas or some mercenaries, meaning BLUFOR friendly. Why would they then point a gun at him? The scene looks a lot like an interrogation.

Also: Dragons..... Dragon Rising..... cant be a good thing!

I think they defend Arma 3 against bohemian spies.

@PuFu: Thanks. Great video/slides. Guess simple translucency is easily available (like polygonal leafs), but volume SSS still too computational/memory ineffective to apply to all humans around us (within a certain radius/LOD based). Better off just bake in the effect for varying amount of light, call it a day, and live with the inaccuracies.

But seeing how far they have come with GI (using AO/FSAO approximations), I did expect SSS to have come further by now

Maybe a special agent?

Like a travel agent?

I LOL'ed hard

I hold my sig that way. Guess I'm not a real man then. I use my thumb when I hold other things though

I guess the shading isn't perfect, but at least the proportions looks pretty good (unlike one of the TAKOH brothers). The shading doesn't worry me much.

Railgun tanks? Those oughta be fun. Just hope BI gets them right in the effects departement. So that they sound realistic, and not like laz0rs from space.

:I Instagoat demanding something to be realistic instead of gamey? The world must be ending!

(But srsly. Sound effects and visual effects need a bit of beefing up. That´s one thing the Dragon Rising did well, if nothing else... well, visually, not in its audio dept.)

Now, can we also get teasers for, say, the new interface? Or the new animations (or animation system. Are you doing something like an in-house euphoria, BI?) or demos of the AI doing stuff it couldn´t do before?

That´d be rad.

I believe that in one interview they said that they are remaking the animation system, but they said the same about sound several times and other stuff. Poses look nice on these screens, but IMO theres not enough evidence that they really changed it, they could have just added more polish.
