2007-01 Thursday 11th, Two new screens. - jens - 01-11-2007
Two new screens can be found at the Penumbra: Overture website media section. The screens are showing some dissection of an enemy as well as the view of a frozen lake.

I think it's the Depth of Field effect.

no then there would be a point on the screen where everything is blurry
think it is low quality teaser screens :d

it is (imo) the DOF effect, you can see the rock in the middle of the screen - it's pretty clear (may just be my eyes, tho)

Very nice, are the light-ray effects in the 2nd screen done using billboards or just transparent meshes?
RE: 2007-01 Thursday 11th, Two new screens. - Dark - 01-13-2007
in the first screen it is DOF indeed (altough its not a rock but a monster
)and about the light rays i dont know

Billboard is like a 2D image in 3D space. Remember the first early 3D games, how on some with grass or a bush, you could walk around it, but it wouldn't really be 3D, it is just like a 2D image of grass/bush that is constantly facing the camera. Great example is in Doom, those explosive barrels.

oooh, you mean sprites :p
i dont think that are sprites, maybe just volumetric light or a map hack (like in HL)

Just to clear things up. Both images have depth of field and the rays are billboards (axis aligned to be specific).
And yeah, we like dof
