Who was the first person...

[-SuperZero3 Gold-]

...to notice that in the records section of the information booklet that comes with the game, the records for easy, medium, and hard on Perfect say Ahi Se Ven?

I'm bored.

That screenshot was around before the game was released, so it sure wasn't you.

Ahi se ven is from a classic AIJ thread.

I'd like to see a "y want bann" for ITG2 console... just kidding.

Roxor putting Easter Eggs in game makes game funnered.

Somebody dismantled the game and found that the reflection map for the S grades (S-, S, S+) is a distorted map of what appears to be a dining hall. At first sight though, it looks like A SMILEY FACE.



That's the image.

(Pure coincidence though...MAYBE. I can't recall if you're supposed to distort images to conform to the model you're applying them to.)

Go me for being bored!

Reflection what?

The S-grades have what's called a "map", or an image to give them the appearance of something.

From what I see, I'm guessing the S-grades have two maps:
Reflection: Obvious and self-explanatory; it reflects something, and it rarely doesn't reflect the environment it's in. 3D models can be set to automatically reflect their surroundings themselves, or, in this case, given an image to make it appear it's reflecting something.

Specular: To summarize in one word: shinyness. 3D models can be set to shine themselves (and how intense that shine will be depends on any light sources present in their environment) or given a map that's sort of independent of needing a light source.

There's a bunch of maps you can use, like a bump map to give the illusion of height, or even an image map, to make a simple sign. They're ALWAYS used in movies, like, say, to give a Volkswagen Beetle a non-shiny, grimy, slightly glossy appearance on its body.

That "smiley" image would suit a sphere, but giving it to the S grades makes them have a streaky apperance too.

['Ivan]

So...this smiley face/dining room map....is...wrapped around the 3-D model of an S like plastic shrink wrap?

Precisely. Have a cookie: one of the courses in ITG is 1337 steps long.

I'm sure anything else that isn't a Star/S grade is just having a simple color applied to the polygons, not an image map. Less work that way.

[Thomas Hobbes]

I think that course is A Good Start Intense.
