Re: Optical illusion glitches on Spyro 3

Yup. I guess that this is special technique used in spyro games. This make it possible to move spyro nearer walls than he could normally move. Because if he moved too close to the wall (without this effect), his head would partialy disappear in the wall, so to fix this they use this special effect to make it look better when spyro is near wall, but it is a little bit glitchy. I would like to learn how to do this technique, so I can use it in the fututre in my games smile
( another method they could use is to make spyro collision area larger, but it would be propably annoying in gameplay )

Re: Optical illusion glitches on Spyro 3

Oh my gud, yu r some game expert.

But anyway, 200, I'm just wondering, HOW DID YOU GET SPYRO ON YOUR COMPUTER!?!?!?! Not that MY computer is fast enough to play that. In fact, it'll probably crash.

Let me guess, the computer accepts PlayStation games? I'll have to try that sometime. I even have a PlayStation-controller-like remote for computers! big_smile

Re: Optical illusion glitches on Spyro 3

Yeah, that video would be a few years old by now, but based on the comments and what I remember, it showed Spyro standing right next to a tree or something, and when the camera moved, Spyro appeared to be a different distance from it.
