John Carmack says it's because there's always a time of day where any scene will look like complete crap, no matter how much work an artist puts into it and they're going for visual perfection.

Also I think people are giving idtech 5 more credit than it should deserve. Todd Howard pretty much said this in a rcent EGM interview. Some people here actually know a few things about the logistics that go into a game engine, so you can't just guess and hope nobody notices you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

People who have any kind of 3d experience know that, random jackasses who have opinions on shit they know nothing about don't know that. Dynamic lighting is hard, building a really good day night cycle into an engine is hard. 'I'd like you to know a single thing about something before acting like you're an expert. Come back when you have something to say that' has some intent other than to condescend, 'Kid.' BTW if you want the ability to ignore users so badly, why not use your own mental filters and ignore the posts manually? Because then you'd starve to death without people feeding the trolls. Some devs just throw a single directional light in the sky and call it a day, and you can tell when they do that cus the shadows look like ass. I frankly don't believe that. 'Frankly, kid, you have no experience at all with 3d dynamic lighting and don't know shit. You would literally post nothing at said: ' said: ' said: ' said:
