am about 90% cent sure it does... he'll have to clear up that other 10% ^^

I have one question guys, how can I make it work with FOG?
Cause when I use 'fog_color = 4' and define custom fog color shadows disappear...
And how can I disable shadows for model? Cause when I turn on shadows, every model has shadow...

Sorry for the late reply, i was "busy" with real life the last few weeks.
Funnily (does that word even exist?) though the last month was good for shade-c. I had a lot of spare time due to certain circumstances and optimized the whole thing.
Now everything except shadows work with simple argb 8bit rendertargets. Inferred Lighting, SSAO, SSGI, DOF, you name it, they all work flawlessly. Shadows will also be ported, i was just to lazy.
Also MRTs are no longer needed at all.
So in theory, if you want to use everything shade-c has to offer, you now only need a ps 2.0 gfx card and it'll run (except for ssao, which needs ps 2.a/3.0 depending on quality settings). I could even port the whole lighting part to directx 8 / ps 1.0 i guess, but that most likely wont happen anytime soon (if at all).


The current version works well with fog. The one available to the public doesn't, I'm sorry.

I have no idea if shade-c works with A8, as i don't have it and don't have money left to buy it. So while i really would like shade-c to work with A8, i can't do anything about it. According to some betatesters the last beta was working fine under A8 though.

A new version will be sent out to betatesters before 2011. If i have time left, there will also be a demo for everyone to play around with, but don't count on it.
If there will be no demo, you can always give CSiS a go, which always has the latest stable version of shade-c implemented.

Hey Havoc, what's your status?

Hey PietroNifosi

I'm currently wrapping everything up for our inhouse game CSiS and am also finishing spotlight shadows for a client (complete with camera<->light/shadowmap culling, yay! ).

Once i'm finished with getting everything to work with CSiS and there are no major bugs, i'll send out a new beta

Alright! Dude, can't wait to see how shade-c shaders will improve my wastewalkers here!

Hi,
I put together a SMALL scene, to test the new lighting system, shadows and ssao. Please give it a try if you have the time

Please let me know if there are any bugs or visual glitches.

If there are no major bugs in the demo, i'll send out a new version to testers and clients next week.

[edit] Please note that this demo requires pixelshader 2.a, due to high quality ssao. There is a low quality ssao which only needs ps 2.0 though, but doesn't look as good (obviously). I'll put together another demo which lets the user decide about ssao.

Looks great so far. I only don't like the way shadows are smoothed. In all other ways its just perfect.

Really cool, I like the shadows.
Just a question, I saw a light with a cookie if thats the right word? Hows that gonna be managed, can we assign the cookie bitmap in WED or the lights action or will we have to do some deeper coding for that?

insta crash on gt425m, drivers are the default ones that come with the laptop i am going to update and try again.
