Isn't it strange how an in-game effect that never really existed with the human eye became one of the most commonplace 3D lighting effects in practically every game after Quake 3?  |
i've thought that myself for many years but never really spoke up to anyone about it - strange indeed (although i must admit that without my glasses, i get a similar type of effect when i look at stars; in addition, i've never stared at the sun
