Cubic mapping with Radeon

Kossuth · May 23, 2002, 01:16 PM

I might be totally incorrect with my information, but I was under the impression that Radeon supported Cubic Enviromental mapping, but when I try to utilize it, it won't work. For example in Colin 2, when I set Enviromental Mappin to cubic, all textures disappear from the cars. This has been problem with all of the drivers I've been using in Radeon, and I think I had the problem also back in Win98 (this I'm not so sure anymore), and it keeps buggin me with Win2000. So if anyone know anything on this subject any info is apreciated. My systems important details are

Win2000 Sp2
Radeon Vivo 64 DDR
Current Drivers Omega/Plutonium K1.0.71a

Thanks in advance

Gee, am I totally lost, or doesn't anybody even understand what i'm asking? Any info on the subjetct is still very valued.

Thanks

Looks like I need to reinstall CMR2.
I remember being able to set the Cubic Mapping on without any other problem than being way too slow for my rig.
I usually set it to standard mapping.
Using WinXP though and at the time I must have had Omega's 1.1.52

I'm going to look for the cd, watch this space

According ATI it does support Cubic Environmental mapping

It worked for me, but I had it off in CMR2 due to the performance hit it caused. Not worth it. I don't remember what driver(s) I was using at the time (in XP).

Edit: Sorry, didn't notice you had the original radeon; knowing that it works on r8500 won't probably help much.

PS. Vaikea arvata mistä Kossuth tulee

Hmmm wierd ...

I got it to work on my old radeon 32 mb ddr

But I havent tested it on my new 8500..

On my old radeon I cant enable bump mapping...but I tested bump mapping on my 8500 and it works fine... forgot about cubic since I assumed it worked...since it was working okay on my 32mb ddr .. I cant test it for you right now since I reinstalled it ... maybe sometime later i'll reinstall it and have a look!!

Thanks a lot for all of you replied. All I really just wanted to know was, does it work with the old 64DDR vivo, or not. You everybody know that it is pain in the ass to get some feature to work if it isn't supported by your hardware at all ;-) Ok, it is back to the reinstalling bussines for me....

Thanks everyone.

Ps. any extra info on Cubic mapping _problems_ is still usefull for me... I got the leaked U2 alpha, and it's now crashin on cubemap errors, and I really wanted to test it on my rig...
