Half-Life 2 Source Trailer

[CSN NewsBot]

Amongst all this Steam confusion VALVe did manage to get something released today, a Half-Life 2 Source Engine DirectX 9.0 Effects Trailer. It shows off some of the DX9-specific effects possible in the Source engine.



Here's what you can expect to see:

• high-dynamic range rendering (for rendering realistic outdoor scenes,
  
  produces glows and saturated colors in bright areas of the scene).
  
  
• bump-mapped characters (containing both diffuse + reflective bumpmapping, dx8 only has reflective bumpmapping).
  
  
• soft shadows

The trailer is hosted on FileShack and can be downloaded right here.



Have a peek:

Leave the Steam talk here.

Looks very, very nice. Download immediately.

Unfortunately it's not very long and doesn't show a whole lot, but it does use some nice DX9 effects.

It looks awesome. Atleast they weren't stupid enough to put it in steam.... otherwise that would have been a complete disaster! Good going VALVe!!! (for once)

fileshack must have done something for CSN to get its link alone

Weird, I stumbled upon this file while browsing through Fileplanet only mere minutes after release and downloaded it. I thought it was old though. I only had to wait 15 minutes -_-.
