This would be fun, but useless (Wishlist)

Binoculars - to be able to zoom in on something in the distance. lol, I
always wanted that, but that'll never happen =P -- SW Comit swcomit at swcity.net Mayor of SW City http://www.swcity.net President of Community Linkage Commission http://comlinkage.tripod.com agent fox mulderFeb 22, 2001, 7:11pm

another neat idea:
stereo view render two viewports at the same time, with their in-world coords about 10cm apart. Place them next to each other on your screen. Now look "behind" the screen and make them overlap. Instant 3D view on any regular monitor. This technique is the same as the one used by those pictures that seem to show only random noise, but have a 3D picture hidden inside. For some people it doesn't work - either they don't get the trick, or they just can't see things this way - but for most people it does. rolu sw comitFeb 23, 2001, 9:45pm
Real live AW cameras would be cool too. For example, every citizen gets a
limit of 1 camera to place in a world, and you could load a command in the action line to see it. I could like watch town square while I build ^_^ create citcam (citizen camera) citnum (your citizen number) I'm not sure what this would do to performance though. -- SW Comit swcomit at swcity.net Mayor of SW City http://www.swcity.net President of Community Linkage Commission http://comlinkage.tripod.com nova n@n.comFeb 23, 2001, 10:56pm
Would probly kill performance big time.
Unless it had a feed to a external program then the cam wouldnt cause any more drag than a standard object of the same vert count. [View Quote] sw comitFeb 24, 2001, 12:00am
Why do you say that? The image is still, except for avatar or
moving/animated stuff. And you'd also need to be looking at the video. -- SW Comit swcomit at swcity.net Mayor of SW City http://www.swcity.net President of Community Linkage Commission http://comlinkage.tripod.com [View Quote] captain mad mikeFeb 24, 2001, 2:08am
Yeah good idea, I don't think it would kill down performance or anything if
you've got a good enough video card (and most new computers have very good cards in them, and there are always the cheap good ones for upgrading) and for AW it would be just like a bot. -- My two cents, Captain MAD Mike [View Quote] |
