archonOOid 1983 Posts August 18 2012 17:45 GMT #184 How disappointing... I thought we would see a secret chat log from a blizzard employee intercepted by a malicious hacker dissatisfied with the game or the blog from a lurker lover's attempt to con his way into blizzard HQ and introduce the lurker in HotS.

Forikorder Canada8840 Posts August 19 2012 02:23 GMT #192 i always figured the "burrowed" depot jsut folded in on itself so it was lying flat on the ground i remember playing a few games with burrowed infesters (custom games) that yould get to an area you could see the burrowed infester but never thought that other models would have an underground apearence too really love the hatch find

BadgKat United States156 Posts August 19 2012 02:44 GMT #193 This is so cool. This has given me a lot of respect for the Bliz design team. GJ finding this.

FatalStrik3x United States3 Posts August 19 2012 04:03 GMT #194 So I do not know if any one explained this but if you pay attention to the lore zerg can move / burrow underground by vibrating every cell in their body and it causes the soil to loosen around them allowing them to "Swim" through the soil. ( can be found in the campaign after finding enough zerg research to get the burrowing flame turret I am fairly certain)

claybones United States244 Posts August 20 2012 02:48 GMT #199 So the spikes on the hatch are already big? I'd like to see what it looks like morphing.

Matt_D_ Australia14 Posts August 20 2012 05:57 GMT #200 this is actually quite interesting. normally you try and avoid "rendering" (as in, submitting for render, not actually rasterising) things you cant see, as you still have to perform "work" (ie: culling) to remove things which are underground, or occluded. or of course you just render everything and let the depth buffer sort it out, which also isnt exactly optimal as you waste GPU bandwith and shader time sending across, and potentially rasterising data you'll never actually use (and potential z fighting) things like the dark shrine, and bunker "highlights" being lobbed underground is certainly a hint at whatever shader they're using for the buildings potentially doesn't support runtime transparency modulation. the big one though is the borrowed units. why not LOD them out for a model that just has the bits you can see (but still has the same bone structure for animations) ? hmm... its an interesting choice. it'd certainly be an interesting question to ask someone on the team at blizzard "why". I'm sure there's a good, and probably interesting (at least for me anyway) answer
