Stencil shadows are done (SH3)

Yeah, vegetation :)

I thought they were a refined series of projected geometry (ala SH2) I'll have to take a closer look.

aren't the self shadowing in the cutscenes using stencils?

SH3 has self shadowing all the way through. Cut scenes and gameplay. DeanoC (programmer of PC version of SH2) might want to chime in , but I'm pretty sure he confirmed the game uses stencils, and so did Fafalada who said his own racer uses that same technique.
 
Let's hope the NDA will end at Playstation Experience (August) in London or Dreamworld (September) 2003 in Paris.
 
i was joking on the bumpmapping thing because there are a lot of discussions and threads about it .. :p
 
marconelly!: When u say the enviornments look very busy, do u mean busy as in alot of stuff happening in them(rathcet and clanck where a lot of cars are flying around) or just that the enviornments are very detailedly built like a lot of pipes and things ?

Likely to be 2004. I believe the main reason Sony isn't showing it already it's 'cos the game still requires some refinements (I've heard the frame rate of a couple of month ago build was not quite there yet).

Or, more simply, Sony isn't showing it 'cos they are afraid other publishers would steal their ideas. You know, Nintendo-style thinking :p
