Thread: 2.0 Grass: please change!

Oh yeah, and on that point the grass in Xenoblade ANIMATES! OMG! For free too.

All Neptune is arguing for is to replace plant variety with plain old grass. No thanks.

Um no who said that? Look you have NO IDEA why I mentioned Xenoblade. Pay more attention. Or at least quit yer bitchin' and ask for an explanation.

Lol U mad, bro? You're really bent out of shape over some grass, dude. Which isn't even grass. And I like the part where you completely skimmed over the fact that Xenoblade isn't using any special technique, that the only real difference is that the plant they used is a naturally flat plant anyone, so who would notice when its flat in a game?

Skimmed? It IS using a special technique! That's like the entire point of this thread! They should change the technique, yo!

The prettier grass will be MORE fps and less lag.

Totally denying any law of computer programming and common sense. Right.

Ok SEE! Now we are getting somewhere. Now you understand, but you are just coming down on the wrong side.

We can be sure. Because it's locked to 3D space.

You really left with "law of computer programming". That is what I will think of when I need some amusement in my life. Lol.
