But thanks for pointing out that detail..I really hadn't thought of that yet. I was just too excited about how great it looked.

Imho, it's a detail that should stay - even in lot's of scifi movies you can see cloaked ppl by that kind of artifacts.That (conceal) has been changed but hasn't been brought to the Live dimensions yet.
Don't forget, the physical body is still there, it's just invisible.

Nice video, the sky and grass effect is amazing. Is that grass always going to be so tall there or was it just to show the effects?

Hate to say it, but with the more recent games, that's one of the first things I do... smoother gameplay, and more importantly, easier to see the bodies of the slain..[v] Turn grass off....

About the sneaky part... thats a very good question
As of now i guess you would be making the grass move even if you were in a successful sneak...
But it's not a problem to remove it if in sneak...
On the other hand... it might just be a leet... The grass is kinda tall
And just to clarify.. "features" added like bump, specular, grass etc...
How tall the grass is, and how bumpy the bumpmap is, is just a tweaking issue...
it's in, it's working, it'll be looked at by an artist and "fixed" befor it gets released
RAWR!!!!! Might be eyesore RAWR! but what a RAWR!

When specifically asked for positive words, responding with a personal attack is incredibly rude and inappropriate. Please do not repeat such behavior.
Not to be nit-picky, because the effect is really good... but it does kinda look like the person has an invisible 1-foot (1/3-meter) shield surrounding his legs as he walks through the grass.
But that would actually be a nice touch-- casting shields and blockers could make the grass "lay down" in a hemispherical pattern starting at the player's feet... and when the shield dissipates, the grass could spring back up.

Keep this effect! It's a classic in all "invisible man" movies: footprints in the snow, silhouette appearing under the rain, etc. It adds some fun gameplay features.
(The only drawback being that people who turn some effects off -assuming "raised" vegetation can be turned off- won't be able to spot concealed characters in a few specific situations. Still... it's such a nice feature that I'm not sure if should be removed.)

Whoho! Awesome work, keep up the good work!: http://i50.tinypic.com/14bm9w1.jpg I improved your screenshot a bit =).
I can agree that it's a logical thing to keep.
However it, combined with things like AoE fears and AoE roots, would ruin sneaking in areas like that because you'd know where to fire one off to unsneak us.

Awesome video, I hope that everyone has their on collision box size, then it would make ruse agents sneaking more effective then say mongo enfs sneaking.
THAT my friend is getting saved, very LOL.Whoho! Awesome work, keep up the good work!

Good job guys!
When a man can pretend to be someone he's not... to get something he doesn't necessarily deserve. Sometimes, all you need is a lab coat.
I'm in support of the grass making way for sheilds and stealthy foes, as long as those stealthy foes have a diminished impact on the grass while using negative scale effects.
And 30 foot tall enfos should pretty much obliterate the grass.
