Celebrate failures during development! 9 4

Aww yeah! This is my kind of thread. I have a few of these actually, but here's one from before I added texturing:

Clearly I just needed to clear my buffer >_>.

@toasty Yes that's exactly the sort of thing I mean :-) Always nice when you at least know how to fix it as well.

Awesome Stuff! I had some glitches similar to @toasty, but unfortunately no recording of those.

I'm interested to know what was going on in your example @remco - it looks strangely beautiful :D

I hope people post here often. These are always fun :D
First gif of my textures "working"

And here's a "fixed" version

@M2tias, neat! Could almost be a feature… step into the tecture :-D

Oops, hadn't seen the other comments yet.

@Laguna, 2 jobs ago we had a folder for these kinds of mistakes the whole team could post to. I still remember from time to time. "That's one for the 'found' art folder". So I guess I'm more likely than the average person to save their mistakes now?

@toasty Various causes, I seem to remember:

• I think I was somewhere halfway between swithcing out planes and introducing spheres,
• leaving the lighing 'system' on,
• then not filtering out any hits behind the player,
• standing inside of a dense cluster of what where previously bounding spheres, but now visible,
• … and of course forgetting a minus sign somewhere.

This evening I decided to implement distance fog.

Getting better…
