[Not necessary] resize front1 bitmap also for NSEW views

Post by linflas »

i made a rock by cloning a cave boulder : for that kind of flooritem, only one bitmap is used for front1, and RTC engine does placement and resizing : so you gain some time and kbytes.
But side bitmaps look weird because my rock isn't symmetrical and to correct this, you provided the north/south/east/west views : i wanted to put this unique bitmap for front1/left1/right1 in 4 directions, but i must create front2 and front3 too because RTC resizes front1 only in default view..

I'm not sure I follow that - RTC already resizes asymmetric bitmaps (for example, have a look at the definition of the gravestones).

ok, got it. i put NULL for left1 and right1 and it works fine ! but if i have different front1, left1 and right1 bitmaps, will they be resized for distant views (2 and 3) ?

No - if the left/right 1 needs to be different from the front 1 bitmap because of perspective reasons, then it's certain that the left/right 2 one will also require to look different because it's a combination of the two.
