Half Life 2 - Bump Mapping & Voodoo5

[roflkopp]

Is it possible to use V5's dot3 bumpmapping capatibilities for Half Life2?

[Nightbird]

What's your idea ?

[roflkopp]

...to use HL2's DX8 Path (or at least the bump mapping) on V5:

NO way.trust me.

v5 doesn't support dot3 bump mapping - am i right ?

[Voodoo5]

@r21vo,

Right

[roflkopp]

And whats about EMBM?

[Rolo01]

VSA100 doesnt support EMBM, too. The only chip of that age that supported EMBM was the Matrox G400.
Voodoo4/5 cards only support Emboss bump mapping.

[roflkopp]

So, is it possible to get Hl² working with Emboss bump mapping?

[ps47]

no.just forget the idea.not going to happen.
