The dynamic snow part would refer to snow actually falling and piling up on objects and scenery. Dynamic shadows mean that shadows will move depending on light sources, for example a torch, think far cry 2 or crysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scot Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Yes and dynamic shadow I think it´s also shadow in every objects?I hope all the objects have shadows and not just the creatures and npc´s like oblivion and fallout 3/nv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaihodgson Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 The dynamic snow sounds real cool, but I think dynamic fire would also be a feature that could have some use, seeing as its about dragons and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keanumoreira Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I think dynamic fire would also be a feature that could have some use, seeing as its about dragons and all That would be nice. Having a little torch fall or in this case fire from a dragon and setting an area on fire? Then seeing how the villagers react and cope with such a small disaster. Doubt it but it would be nice...

CommanderCrazy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 The Dunia engine (Far Cry 2) supported dynamic / progressive fire, that discriminated between wet / green grass and dry / brown grass.If that can be done with an engine that's rather old now, what's saying it wont now?

Arkayjiya Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Dynamic shadow is a shadow which change of size, shape or "color" in function of the light's position. So if your character move around a light, the shadow will turn and if you put yourself between two source of light you should have two shadow, clearer than the previous one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
