Glass panels?
Quote from DrummerB on May 7, 2011, 5:04 pmWasn't there glass panels in the game? Panels with a platform out of glass similar to the moving elevators.
The elevator has the glass in the model already. But for the panels, you only have the arms and the frame and put the (usually metal) platform brush onto it. But I think there were glassy ones, just can't remember in which levels. The frozen glass texture looks ugly on it. There is a coop_airlock texture that looks very similar but the resolution is poor. Any ideas?

Quote from DrummerB on May 7, 2011, 7:52 pmI don't know that the non-stationary scaffold is. I'm looking for something like the glass panels in the level, where [spoiler]you fight Glados and some panels hidden under the floor catapult you back so you can't reach the button.[/spoiler] The models they used for that are made specifically for that scene and don't have the animations I'd like to use. I'm using the arm64x64 model currently with a normal metal panel attached to it, but it would be great to make it glassy.
