im not explaining myself well. but theres red on or in front of the far wall on the right. which in 3d perspective is very far away from the explosion, BUT, the blue guys, and the guy laying on the ground are CLOSER to the explosion, and DO NOT have that glow. but they ARE further away in this particular 2d perspective. since this is a 3d engine youd think they would have the glow before the far wall does. so this effect seems to be a 2d effect, thats why it looks like it was done in photoshop or something. a sprite in game of this size would clip into the ground.
so again. ill just ask. how exactly is this done in the engine?
(this could be done with photoshop like layers ingame that make a brightness glow over the entire frame. is this how its done?)

thanks.

There is absolutely nothing in this screenshot that requires faking. Fairly high poly character models, a flat bit of terrain, some nicely textured grass sprites and trees, and a fairly simple building. Yes, the art's really nice, but there's nothing here that even qualifies as questionable.

actually. save the file. open it in a text editor, voila:
"JFIF Photoshop 3.0"
with other such details as:
"FX Global Lighting Angle"
and
"FX Global Altitude"

I believe it's real. Bout time we started seeing stuff that really takes advantage of all that DX8 jazz. In any case I want all things Unreal! 2/UT2/Warfare. It's all good to me. :)

as ive already shown, it WAS done in photoshop. they made a blob of light over the right side of the picture where the rocket impact was. notice how the characters to the right are much brighter than the ones on the left? the lighting fades off. theres no way this is done in the engine. it was probably also taken at a much higher res and resampled down using the best algo possible.
