works fine, looks great. i especially like that shadows get blurred more if they are casted by a higher object. only drawback - flickering when you move camera\object, but i suppose it's hard to get rid of(probably higher rendertexture resolution on lower shadowrange?)

Great work anyways smile

Holy Shit.
it runs smooth. and at constant 70fps.

it is all great. shadows are awesome.
one thing though i guess it will stay this way.(This happens on many AAA titles too.):



and this entity transform tools are pretty nice. Do you plan any further development of it(a niec realtime editor ?)

I know you said, and a message popped up, but
MAN it looks bad in VS2.0, PS2.0 !!!
Try it out, makes you feel stoned!

Dont worry, I'll give a more useful opinion when I get home and try it out on a REAL computer.

But wouldnt a test on my dogbox-work machine be valid if you has the shader-fallbacks enabled?
So WE know, what it looks like on older machines, or arent the fallbacks finished yet? (being Beta and all)

WOW! Been toying around with it now and I am NOT disappointed! It's amazing quality and a solid 70 fps. I can't wait for the final release.

@Quadraxas: you only see the window, because the model is not closed at the bottom.
This is not a bug in the shader, but a mistake in the geometry of the model! wink

@Cowabanga: Well, I want to sell it for 10 euro, but I have to check out, how much taxes I have to pay...and see if it's profitable...

@EvilSOB: as I said, shader model 2 is not supported yet,there are no fallbacks, at the moment. But when I make the support, it would be nice, if you can test it again smile

Hints: YOU can hold the Shift button and move the object to copy it(can't copy groups at the moment).
With Ctrl you can group objects temporary. Hold Ctrl an click on the parameters in the GUI to move/rotate/scale all values.

Oh, and if you want a better bloom change this:
Code:
function RenderPlugins()
{
	Render_Bloom();
	Render_Shadows();
	//you can add more plugins here	
}

TO:
Code:
function RenderPlugins()
{
	Render_Shadows();
	Render_Bloom(); //blooms over the shadow,looks better!
	//you can add more plugins here	
}

your drivers needs to be updated.(BSoD seems like a driver issue)
