It sounds good code-wise, but how exactly would it look? I mean, simple discolouration wouldn't be very exciting or threatening. We want XVI to creep across the Earth with menace.

So what is it you're thinking of? Something like the biomass in Aftermath? I don't see why PHALANX intel would do something like that (it IS their data you're basically seeing).

If the engine supported it, would an animated texture like this work?

(Yay procedural texture animation. :) )

That looks brilliant, but I don't think we've got animated texture support. Mattn, come enlighten us! And if we haven't got it, can you code it?

should not be a problem - but only via vertex shader - the problem is how to calculate the surface of the infected locations
