Moin,
as announced by MCHALO here´s what we have so far:
For advertising reasons the guy 'transforms' from shaven to fully bearded and back within a matter of seconds. Same applies for his clothes. They change between filthy/greasy and clean within the same cycle. Time parameters will be adjusted for final release, so the beard will not grow in cycles as shown on the video.
The crew will however be clean-shaven every time you re-load the game. Besides I have not been able to use a bump mapping controller in conjunction with an animated texture controller. Therefore I´m going to skip the bump mapping feature using pre-rendered light maps. I will certainly blame it on the bump mapping controller´s high impact on graphics performance of course. Hence only new crew will grow beards.
Here´s the video proof:
Many thanks and of course credits go to my friend 'Anvart'. He´s made a fix/update for S3D that made this work (growing beard) possible. Have a beer on me, Anvart!
Have fun,
DD
