New gunsight please?

[Mitsu]

AERO will offer me next sample by using Type-3 Gunsights and Ah2 Ki-84 cockpit pictures today or tomorrow.

You will know visually about the difference between a new additive-blend technique and the current AH2's alpha-blend gunsight.

Good stuff Mitsu!

For me the gun sight is a big immersion factor.

Hopefully HTC considers implementing this!

[Mitsu]

Here is Additive-blend (AERO's one) vs Alpha-blend (AH2's one) sample image.
It's simulated by using Aces High II Pictures.



The left gunsight illuminates well, more realistic.....doesn't it?

BTW I heard the additive-blend is supported in the DirectX 8.
HTC, please support additive-blend on our gunsights.

[mason22]

agreed. would make a super nice touch!


good examples too Mitsu!

[Octavius]

fantastic!  

Additive blend please

[Mitsu]

The Green one looks like HUD illumination...

[Mitsu]

lpD3DDEV->SetRenderState(D3DRS_DESTBLEND, D3DBLEND_ONE);
lpD3DDEV->SetRenderState(D3DRS_SRCBLEND, D3DBLEND_SRCALPHA);

I don't know programming.
But I heard this code is for additive-blending in DX8.
Can't it be used?

[Karnak]

That does look good Mitsu.

[Kweassa]

Looks really good! It would be a great addition to add in AH2.

[Kaz]

It looks great! Just a a little blurry though, not as sharp as I 'think' note I said think they should be. Maybe it's the picture format that reduced image quality? Either way it's a definite improvement.

[Dux]

Kaz, I believe that slight blurriness is correct for a WW2 optical gunsight.

And could easily be tailored to each user's preference in a few steps with photoshop or paintshop.

[Stang]

Wow, got my vote, what a huge improvement.  Nice one Mitsu!  

[Black Sheep]
