Speaks for itself.

Odd keyboard layout, but other than that, it looks great IMHO

Wow, that's a HUGE improvement. Well done.

Heh, it's like an ultra-compact laptop keyboard layout. Who needs a regular numpad? Nicely done.

Man I hope you don't catch any flack for the change. I mean it's such a drastic improvement over the original. Great work

very cool.
special mention for the scratches on the screen. brilliant touch.
also, cool shape, much better than the original.

I'd like to see it in game

It looks great, I love how the keyboard glows.

The idea of encrypted keys is great because you'd expect a military like organisation to use some form of encrypted password.

I have a question; or a concern, you might call it. The red lights on the original model turned on when the computer was activated (it was actually modelled on); will this be in the new one as well? If it's not modelled on, I'm quite sure DDL could code up a quick skin change to duplicate the effect better. Just sayin'.

Akerfeldt · Post by **Akerfeldt** » Sat Jun 30, 2007 2:01 pm

I thought that effect was just part of the animation i.e. the red lights popped out of the model.

That's what I'm saying. It was modelled on.

As long as Alex models on a tiny square sheet over the front of each light, a tiny bit in front of the model, and assigns them a different (and unlit) materialID, we can do it by skin switching easily (flipping between pinkmasktex and 'light tex' depending on what we want).

Edit: Got distracted talking shop.

Alex: that's a fucking lovely security comp.

An alternative would be to change the entire skin.
