Some "small" examples i made with shadeC EVO in action ( Hail to Boh_Havoc ): Info: On my Radeon HD4800 from 2008, the evo-example-scene runs with +-250fps in window mode (Win10).
Evo fix(?): 3runs githubYou wanna have at least some nice graphics and you're a shader noob ? ShadeC might be the answer here.Stuff like: HDR, DOF and and and... What version? ShadeC or EVO?Well it belongs to what youre planning to do. I give u some facts ( good and bad ones ): ShadeC- Terrain- Water- Nice object and PP shaders- no dynamic shadows for entitysShadeC EVO- No Terrain's ( see this Topic how to dirty "hack" terrain into )- No Water ( maybe we'll find a solution here next time ) edit 2021: Managed to create nice "faked" water (no reflections etc, but looking ok at least) - Real nice object and PP shaders- dynamic shadows for entitys BUT only with spotlights!- memory leak!!!(try 3run's version [link above])- wont publish without a small modTip:- Reset the DYNAMIC flag for big models ( for example houses, read this Thread to know why ) - Modify your shadeC files ( fixed folders, read this Thread to know why ) See page "6" for a full publishing help--------------------------------------------------------- Hi. Please somebody help here, iam pretty frustrated right now. Iam trying for hours to render a simple grass model. Never made outdoor stuff with shadeCEVO before. Why the hell it ignores the alpha-channel ? Better asked, how to "overlay" my grass model ? With the std-sc-material (from cars window) it looks strange like this ( ignore the blur thats caused from DOF ): //------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Someone managed to render grass / tree leafs with shadeC EVO ? Some idea / help would be really nice ^^ edit: To reproduce my Problem, take two grass models ( one placed infront of the other ) and apply the car-glass-material. Then youll directly see it when walking around looking at the grass.

Found some Workaround. I activate
sc_screen_default.settings.forward.enabled = 1;
And apply no shadeCEVO material to the grass. This way it gets rendered "ok". But it wont react to shadec-lights then, ahh sh* ! edit: Give up. ShadeCevo is nice for indoor Scenes, outside you can smoke it in your pipe! Implemented HeelX's SSAO now. Great looking effect. edit: You can smoke SSAO in the pipe too, slow as hell!

To clear things i made another screenshot of the problem. First screenshot might be missunderstood. To reproduce simply duplicate the glass of the car and fly around looking at them. Transparent parts are not rendered through other transparent parts. I managed it like said in the post above to render without material. Then i added the shadeC Terrain (to shadeCevo). So i had grass and Terrain in shadec evo. But then strange "small" graphic artifacts appeared. Short: Rendering the grass without shadecevo-material on a shadeC-terrain with EVO running isnt an option. Goal here simply is (at least) some good/"fast" graphics in a8. With things likes shadows, pp's, Terrain and grass. edit: I dont want the grass transparent btw, i just want it like OVERLAY.

Well.. deferred rendering (which shade-c uses) makes it practically impossible to use soft transparency due to the way lighting and scene composition are handled. That's the main downside. At the same time, however, it allows for much faster lighting, an overall consistent look and things like shadowmapping, ssao, screenspace reflections, etc. can be implemented quite easily.
Now, in the case of shadec evo, there actually is a workaround implemendet to support one layer of transparency by using subsampling (only a small performance impact).
Long story short, if you want to use transparency, go with either 1-bit-alpha (alphatesting enabled) or limit yourself to said one layer of transparency.

Thanks for the info, Kartoffel. I managed to display some grass now. To be honest no clue why it worked this time. Now i need to test, if it will work with the "dirty ShadeC Terrain usage" (Alibaba mentioned some days ago). But gettin all this together working is hell for me... edit: What do u mean here? U mean this activated yes?
#define ALPHACLIP //do alphatesting/alphacutout?
?

1-bit-alpha (alphatesting enabled) Jumping in half informed --> tga is 32 bit alpha meaning grays scale or fading alpha maps . I would assume 1-bit is 2 step alpha black 1-bit full transparent white 2-bit full obliqueness. Edit> such as the OVERLAY flag does by picking one color on the map/skin and making it fully transparent.

Okay, I sadly did not found the old version, but this is the way I use it in my current projects:
ENTITY* sc_ent_softSprite(ENTITY* ent, VECTOR* color, int inFadeDist, int inSoftness, int pType)
EXAMPLE:
sc_ent_softSprite(me, vector(128,128,128), 1, 1, 0);
You need to activate forward rendering. If you want shadows to work correctly, you need to set the alpha lower than 100. For further information look into "sc_entity.c". There you can also find some other useful shader Hope that's helpful

Thanks for your time and the example. I did not manage to get the shadeC Terrain working in evo, so i applyed a normal/spec shader to the terrain-modelfile. Dont know if this will be much slower than using a hmp file? This way i have no tile-mapping, but a Terrain without graphic Errors. Sure it Looks a lot more worse than the shadeC Terrain shader. Somebody knows where the White - border Comes from?

Again under-informed --> I've seen something like this with alpha_refs the alpha near the color is lighter than the alpha map elsewhere. EDIT - AS a EXAMPLE - So there is a reference point, say full black is 0 alpha then any gray above 128 ranges from 1-100% alpha. Like I say, under-informed so just a guess, however it does look like non-shade_c transparency problems I've have with the alpha_ref point. such as here http://www.conitec.net/beta/d3d_alpharef.htmEDIT2 - Based on what happens in 3ds max. The white can be from none 0 alpha blending with a spec.. So you get little color and fade spec mapping , because the alpha at that point is none 0 or above say 50%

Ok... Ill try next to Play around with the texture. Meanwhile i got a first result with Alibabas post. I dont know yet how much Performance this eats. And the ShadeC Terrain renders without Errors too
action Grass_WED(){

edit: @Malice Youre right! The alpha-map is no solid White, its faded. No matter what i do with the alphachannel, White-sh* stays ( only black and White now ). Only with Alibabas code the grass renders. edit2: Putting all this together took my weekend until now edit3: Finally grass on Terrain in shadeC evo, in deep-night Setting with fog ( but not the shadeC-terrain-material is used cause it wont react on lights and shadows, shot Shows mtl_car on Terrain.mdl ) Strangly, this time i cant go below camera_clip.far = 2500 btw, some strange visuals are Happening then.

I simply added one house-model two times into the example ShadeC scene. The house comes from a Unity map, a complete town Level i bought btw. Now the graphic looks cool, but 15fps. Is Acknex really that slow ? No DoF no sun shadows, camera_clip_far = 2500. Pretty much useless all in all. edit: disabled all pp effects, same result. Reseting DYNAMIC flag of the houses solved the Problem as it seams. With all pp stuff ( HDR, SSAO, DOF etc ) But the Terrain is still a problem.

No. Is that a memory pointer?
Could you use SED and 'find in file' any error handling? If it's a code then it could be in the script as a printf command. Or maybe that's some type of pointer and the printf(error:) is meant to show the pointer of the trouble object.

I just took the example Scene from shadec and pressed publish... edit: no code added. edit: only a house and grass model added more than frustrating right now

I'm getting shade-c evo now github??
Do the engine still fail to bind the d3dx..... shader stuff when making a build. I had to copy the dll (s) by hand in the past.

so i did before edit: i mean copyed the DLL's by Hand, then i saw the Screen. Funny Thing is, caused by sky_color its a bluescreen. Yes. if you dont find it, i can upload a Version.

Got it... 01 example published with file errors.. Checking them now. Publish from sed file from in 01.cd loaded and run fine but I have the same printf error box as well.
Looking deeper now.

The only file that contains the 'printf' is 'sc_volumeTexture.c'. Here is the part of the code:
LPDIRECT3DVOLUMETEXTURE9 sc_volumeTexture_create(STRING *filename)
{
LPDIRECT3DVOLUMETEXTURE9 temptex;
HRESULT res = D3DXCreateVolumeTextureFromFile((LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9)pd3ddev, _chr(filename), &temptex);
if(res != S_OK)
{
printf("error: %x", res);
return NULL;
}
return temptex;
}
This code was taken from this original thread: Support for volume textures There is something probably wrong with the textures you are using (just guessing). Something else to show you: D3DXCreateVolumeTextureFromFile function

But why the heck it run fine from SED then ?
And Malice got same error. Then Boh_Havoc used the wrong textures too ? As the publisher ignores some files, I assume that something is missing. So it gives this kind of a error (which is probably D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE error, read my previous post). Edit: I can understand that you are struggling with all this shit right now. But you have to stay calm and cold-blooded in order to find and solve troubles you face.

Lol - 3run is faster than I.
Only 'printf' in the whole package as he says!
Bad news... I've no idea what's going on at the moment. Maybe good news is I could ask the author of the code. But I'd do that as a very last step. I will see if I can learn enough to trace it.

I guess I found the problem guys... Function 'sc_volumeTexture_create(STRING *filename)' only called in 'sc_deferredLighting.c' (line 13), and it uses string called 'sc_deferredLighting_sBRDFLUT'. This string defined in 'sc_deferredLighting.h' like this:
STRING* sc_deferredLighting_sBRDFLUT = "shadec/tex/sc_deferredLighting_LUT.dds";
Have you tried opening that file? It's broken I guess... I can't open it on my PC. This is the problem I guess. So Publishing isnt possble right now...great...good News
I have absolutly no idea what to do now.
edit: That sucks. Played around with settings since friday to see now the Publish button isnt working. Don't get frustrated man. Keep your chin up. Or as the google translator says laß dich's nicht verdrießen!

I fixed the problem, yay I just changed the file name from sc_deferredLighting_LUT.dds to sc_deferredLighting_LUT.png, and overwritted it with blank white texture 8x8, and recreated all those folders in the compiled project's folder (shadec/tex/FILE!) and it worked! We tracked the error down! Edit: this means, that you'll have to go throw all shade-c files and change those string, sounds, bmap and all resources you'll find, so they don't have folders, but only names! Here is an example of what I mean: WRONG!
STRING* sc_deferredLighting_sBRDFLUT = "shadec/tex/sc_deferredLighting_LUT.dds";
CORRECT!
STRING* sc_deferredLighting_sBRDFLUT = "sc_deferredLighting_LUT.dds";
It's needed so you don't have to recreate each folder after publishing the project. Edit2: Photoshop 6 opens that file, but its gigantic. Maybe that's the reason it was giving the error? Probably one of those errors: or

Google never fails That error code is not undefined. Simply looking it up in DirectX Error Lookup shows:
HRESULT: 0x88760b59 (2289437529) Name: D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA Description: Invalid data Severity code: Failed Facility Code: FACILITY_D3D (2166) Error Code: 0x0b59 (2905)
Such an error is usually accompanied by a helpful message from D3DX in the debug output window. Make sure you link against the debug version of D3DX first, and watch what is logged to the output window right as you step over that function.

You guys rock hard !!! I wanna suck your d*'s ! Naahhh, simple 'thank you' + playable demo in near future will do HRESULT: 0x88760b59 (2289437529) Name: D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA Description: Invalid data Severity code: Failed Facility Code: FACILITY_D3D (2166) Error Code: 0x0b59 (2905) This means that I guessed wrong Useful info! Thank you, Malice. Best regards! Edit: So does that mean, besides the folder structure, the file is corrupt/too big/whatever ?
I mean should i overwrite it like 3run said with a blank file ? Well if this error message says that it's INVALID, you probably should.. But asking about this some shader gurus won't hurt I guess (txesmi or Kartofel).

^ nope @3run you are right -> stackoverflow environment: i5 750 DDR3 4G Win7 pro x64 sp1 DXSDK 9.0c June 2010 GeForce GT240(driver 275.33) 512MB MSVC 2008 sp1
project: a game project that uses character sprite images that is DXT5(A8R8G8B8) dds format. A sprite is 512*512 size per each frame, and each frame is each other files. (we uses rendered 3dsmax cartoon shader modeling animation. and 3dsmax render each frame onto each other files.) and load that way :
HRESULT hr = D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx( m_pd3dDevice //LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 m_pd3dDevice ,filename_upper.c_str() //std::wstring filename_upper ,D3DX_DEFAULT_NONPOW2 ,D3DX_DEFAULT_NONPOW2 ,1 ,0 ,D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8 ,D3DPOOL_MANAGED ,D3DX_FILTER_NONE ,D3DX_FILTER_NONE ,NULL ,&info // D3DXIMAGE_INFO info ,NULL ,&rsTexture //LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE9 rsTexture ); problem: the hr is almost S_OK. when many files are loaded, sometimes it outs D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA. i was googling and i found it is not means reached out of Memory. (out of memory is D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY or E_OUTOFMEMORY) many answer says "file corrupted or abnormally format", but i don't think so because the error occurs in load random file. (the 'load failed file' is load successfully when next time, or the opposite case randomly).
what's the problem and what can i do? i'm really in panic help me!
I thought changing the nexus might be the answer - but no go EDIT - link to thread https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums...ogiesdirectx101EDIT http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10980659/d3dxerr-invaliddata-occur

Maybe invalid is same as not found. My image viewer says 'decode error'. So I guess there are some troubles with the file itself. Try to 'resave' it (change it's size, make smaller etc... experiment a little bit)! I couldn't even open it. But to make things sure, better to ask shader gurus as I advised previously.

But this isnt logic somehow. If i paste the shadec folder into published folder, the structure is ok again, and no error appears. If the file would be corrupt, error should appear no matter what Folders are used. I try to resave the file now... edit: Guess what i cant resave it ...strange. I even cant copy and paste the date ...what the hell? Maybe i rename this Topic to something like "Setting up shadec evo" and make it sticky ^^

LOL - SOLVED EDIT - DO NOT CHANGE ANY FILES Include shadec folder in publish
in the example folder -
copy shadec folder then paste directly into the published folder 100% working
error is file not found at runtime...

^ makes perfect sense how I figured it out. The file is in a shadec/tex It's a #define PRAGMA_PATH "path"; in the shadec file script #define PRAGMA_PATH "shadec\\tex" Therefore this folder has to be in a relative directory to the *.exe file http://www.conitec.net/beta/define.htmThat's way I'm laughing at myself!! EDIT - From my testing - only a empty shadec folder holding the tex folder needs be moved over.

Hey no need to copy the folder.
sc_defferLightning.h line 8 -- This hard coded path is the problem. STRING* sc_deferredLighting_sBRDFLUT = "shadec/tex/sc_deferredLighting_LUT.dds";
EDIT -- Oh hell I'm always behind 3Run just change this line to by putting in your own #IFDEF STRING* sc_deferredLighting_sBRDFLUT = "sc_deferredLighting_LUT.dds";

Best way i guess is editing the files. Fixed folder structures are never good. But if ure lazy and copy the shadeC folder into published folder, all works fine. Yes i implemented ShadeC Terrain into evo and it worked. But... It wont react on lights and shadows only to sun_light settings. In case of a dark night scene you'll encounter a problem. When sun_light 0 its completly black. Anyway heres a example of the Terrain.mdl with all textures. http://www.file-upload.net/download-11736960/terrain_example.rar.htmledit: To answer your question, its a quad-texture for the colormask. ( ignore the red brush line, i used for debuging ) edit: to be honest i did not further test if all textures are correct in place, but boh commented the lines/entskins out. if theres something wrong in the MDL please let me/us know ^^ Terrain is still a problem. I heard txesmi made a terrainshader, but i guess it wont work with shadec-evo-lights too. Maybe some shaderguy feels to implement terrain into sC-evo ? Beeing the superstar then! edit - Publishing helpJust played around with that publish stuff. The best way is, simply open "sc_deferredLightning.h" in "shadec" folder and modify it like this old
STRING* sc_deferredLighting_sBRDFLUT = "shadec/tex/sc_deferredLighting_LUT.dds";
new
STRING* sc_deferredLighting_sBRDFLUT = "sc_deferredLighting_LUT.dds";
Copy "sc_deferredLighting_LUT.dds" from shadec\tex into your main game folder ( adding shadec\\tex to pragma_path wont work for some reason i dont know. then publishing works, but u cant run from SED ) Press the publish buttonCopy following DLL's from Gamestudio installtion directory into published folder d3dx9_30.dll d3dx9_32.dllYou should have 4 DLL's now btw. In case you compiled example scene, copy VLOGA.MDL by hand into published folder. Congrats! You can now run (and publish) your game. Cheers btw: I rename the thread into "Setting up ShadeC-EVO" and make it sticky. edit: @Alibaba Did u tryed using the water of shadeC in evo yet ?

I see no reason to choose
/// YOUR MAIN C
// #define FINAL_PUBLISH // COMMENT OUT TILL FINAL PUBLISH
#include xxxxx
function main(){
... BLA BLA
}
//////////
// Modified script
#ifndef FINAL_PUBLISH
STRING* sc_deferredLighting_sBRDFLUT = "shadec/tex/sc_deferredLighting_LUT.dds";
#else
STRING* sc_deferredLighting_sBRDFLUT = "sc_deferredLighting_LUT.dds";
#endif
Nothing more should be needed. EDIT - So you publish once and it will place the file in the publish folder. Then uncomment the #define and publish again to same folder. Should work fine. No need to hand move the map file.

Thanks for the publish solutions. btw: I rename the thread into "Setting up ShadeC-EVO" and make it sticky. , sounds good. I already had taken the liberty to give the thread 5 stars to let it stand out. Also since this is a general thread now, 2 important but can be easy to miss lines (e.g. for getting Particles working): sc_screen_default.settings.forward.enabled = 1; //enable if you need particles or custom materials which can't be rendered in the deferred pipeline sc_screen_default.settings.refract.enabled = 1; //enable for refractive effects such as heat haze and glass

Fantastic thread guys. Still little bit confused about one thing; so should I use 3Run's idea to edit the hard coded path and than change it in every other shade-c file? Or is there a faster way? There is no easy way out. You have to go throw all shade-c evo script/header files (mostly headers I guess) and check each string, sound, bmap and any other defined reasources to do not have any fixed folders, so you won't need to recreate resource folders, plus you could publish .wrs archive without problems. I don't really see any reasons to double string like Malice did (maybe there is a reason for that, if so I would like to hear it ), what for if you could just define the file itself and be aware that it will be found withing defined with PRAGMA_PATH folders or in projects root folder. Greets.

I did all this stuff. There are no further fixed strings. Cut and paste one DDS file by hand into main game folder and open sc_defferedLighting.h and remove the path-string. Thats all. Takes 30seconds. edit: I wrote 3run a mail. Guess he will test if creating WRS works ( i would test myself but i have a Com.-Version only ) , sounds good. I already had taken the liberty to give the thread 5 stars to let it stand out. grin Saw that, well done

I don't really see any reasons to double string like Malice did (maybe there is a reason for that, if so I would like to hear it laugh ) There is none really. Perhaps I read bad/to fast but the idea was between changing the folder structures or hand copying maps. In a case where only a single file-string is the issue, than the solution I present with setting a flag like #ifdef for development/publish is pointless. The point being using this #ifdef you shouldn't need to either change the file structures nor hand copy maps. You simply end up running the 'publish mode twice. The idea would be worth more if you wish to create separate development structures and published structures, which covered many maps or files. But as noted before, I'm weeks behind you 3run and not catching up..

Nice, rayp! Still using SSAO from me or have you switched to Shade-C Evo? Your SSAO rocks, i first used it, then i had some polycount probs (maybe caused from SSAO, not sure). I Switched to shadeC-evo (again :D) cause theres all in one. What do u guys think, should i try to write Boh_Havoc a mail about Terrainsupport? Guess hes to busy to do, but its worse a try. But as noted before, I'm weeks behind you 3run and not catching up.. wink Doesnt matter, any help is welcome here ( better late then never )!

Once talked to him. Was a honour I can understand that problem very well. Faced it already in my old very simple projects, and this is nothing against code of shadec ^^ But I think Shade-C is pretty much dead until this point. So it suits well to GameStudio ...aahhhhhhh...buhhhhhhhh....bad one, sorry for that but it sparkled on my tongue Already dewy-eyed tryed to "beguile" Kartoffel, but he said nearly the same. edit: Btw. Alibaba did u already stripped the water out of shadeC in evo? Maybe u're so kind pasting the snippets you've taken out? Dont really need water right now, but would be nice to have a copy and paste version here ready to use ^^ Thanks in advance. edit2: Iam pretty sure its ok to take parts from shadeC and modify EVO with them. Guess its no license problem, at least i hope so!

Reworked my flashlight from scratch, started a few hours ago. First result Lightstrength depends on batterie-level If somebody needs help with basic evo - flashlight stuff / script, just scream ! edit: I found some lense-dirt stuff in the scevo resources. Anyone used lens-dirt pp effect ?

Looks good, except the white on the flashlight is a bit overkill bright. So it suits well to GameStudio ...aahhhhhhh...buhhhhhhhh....bad one, sorry for that but it sparkled on my tongue , I laughed and cried at the same time.

Somehow the shadeC evo rendering in dark levels looks pretty close to Left4Dead(source), i like it. Looks good, except the white on the flashlight is a bit overkill bright. Thanks. Worked on the brightlevel you mentioned and changed material (of Zombies) to support emisse textures ( like flashlight ) corrected normalmap. Made the lightcone a bit smaller. , I laughed and cried at the same time. grin hehe ^^ Of course, eyes are glowing in the dark Just the destroyed roof of one building with active flashlight Heres a typical glowing, normal and specular FX file

Creating the WRS file works ( as long as u modified the shadec - script and moved the DDS file be4 ). btw the house in the background is not lighten by flashlight, theres another light placed in WED.

Btw, Feel free to post your Setting-Progress in the "Setting up shadec evo" Topic. How to ignore lights, i did not test until now. I had problems with RGB coloring too. Does this in the fx file help? If i remember right it does not. , the USE_VEC_DIFFUSE does not seem to work. Also tried some other commented out lines in the fx, also don't seem to work properly but maybe I am doing something wrong too. My quess would its commented out cause it was work in progress or something like that. Would be nice though if someone gets it to work.

Maybe BOH could send a code sample if he still has one lying around? Could be worth a try Also do you know what this black distortion/flicker on the roof is? (maybe some shadow fbias setting I set wrong?): (ps: the image could look a bit weird caused I brightned it a bit to make the error more noticeable)

I guess it's the shadow projected by the sun. Try setting a different sun angle , yes its the shadow, but its kind of flickers when I change the sun angle instead of changing smooth. Kind of like an shadow artifact, e.g. like the left side of this pic but not as extreme and only for the roofs: Could be I am to much looking at details though.

Blindly assuming ->> I'd wonder what pssm base the shadec-evo is using? I remember Slin haves posted a better and fix Pssm and it fixed flickers and issues with the older method... Might be worth comparing them or if Slin has time to reply to a PM he might know right off if we should be trying at change the shadow pssm set to his 'Improved version' Also Sivan did a lot of work with the Shadec package in the past, It might be worth a PM question to him.
Of course I hate to ask out to both as they are surely busy with things none 3dgs these days. But a short and quick PM just for clarity and then we can try and figure out the fixes ourselves. (Guess I don't want to bug anyone and surely not ask them to come and rework or reexamine the shader package.)

I think I might have been to much looking at details. I will wait a bit till have a full scene to test it with. The examples of shade-c have very good shadows so its probably something wrong on my part. If it will become more noticeable, I will try to ask Sivan if he had any problems. I remember Slin haves posted a better and fix Pssm , I tried that one, but the shade-c one seems to be better overal, but again maybe I did something wrong with the init settings etc.

check this value for your shadow problems sc_screen_default.settings.lights.sunPssmSplitWeight = 0.7; //
and these will be the core one to play with sc_screen_default.settings.lights.sunShadowResolution = 512; //reduce shadow resolution as we are manually setting the shadow range to 5000 and can therefor get away with a small shadowmap sc_screen_default.settings.lights.sunPssmSplitWeight = 0.7; //high res near splits, low res far splits sc_screen_default.settings.lights.sunShadowRange = 5000; //manually set the shadow range...we don't need realtime shadows in the far distant! If set to 0 (default) shadow range will be set to camera.clip_far sc_screen_default.settings.lights.sunShadowBias = 0.001; //set the shadow bias

Possible factors for clipping and control what is rendered by change a flag..
this if(my.SC_SKILL != NULL) //entity has SC_SKILL { SC_OBJECT* ObjData = (SC_OBJECT*)(my.SC_SKILL); if(ObjData.depth == -1) return(1); //clip from gBuffer if(ObjData.pass != SC_PASS_GBUFFER) return(1); //only render entities which have the SC_PASS_GBUFFER flag set
But I'll have to read into more and test it all.

Anyone tried to create a tree with transparent leaves in shade-c? Suprisingly, the shadow for the leaves are good but either the whole tree including the leaves is transparent or everything is solid (/not transparent). (ps: I am using an alpha layer (haven't tried alpha channel yet), and deferred pipeline is set off cause I also use particles) So as to not reinvent the wheel here, why not use 2 models tree and leaves and to materials then? EDIT ->> the meat is in default.c shade-c version
#ifdef ALPHA
#ifdef TRANSPARENT
SKIN_ALPHA *= tex2D(stipplingMaskSampler, projCoord*vecViewPort.xy*0.5).g * fAlpha;
#ifdef TRANSPARENTALPHACLIP
clip(SKIN_ALPHA - fAlpha);
#else
clip(SKIN_ALPHA - ALPHACLIP);
#endif
#else
#ifdef CUSTOM_PS_ALPHA
clip(Custom_PS_Alpha(In, SKIN_ALPHA));
#else
clip(SKIN_ALPHA-(1-fAlpha));
#endif
#endif
#endif
Would seem to point to the alpha map being used. I'd think no need for a TRANSLUCENT flag if being used.

Ok I think got the transparency working but now shadows on the object act all weird, any solution to this? (ps ignore the ugly unwrapping of the tree skin ): So far this what I did: - create an alpha channel for the skin (note this is not the same as an alpha layer) - add these lines to the shader .fx file you are using: #define ALPHA //entity has alphamap? #define TRANSPARENT //entity alpha should be interpreted as transparent/translucent? So as to not reinvent the wheel here, why not use 2 models tree and leaves and to materials then? , yes this could be a possible alternative. The transparent leaves maybe can't give shadows, so the tree would have to have some dummy leaves for shadows or a alpha layer / png skin for shadows. Maybe I just create real 3d leaves for the model.

(ps ignore the ugly unwrapping of the tree skin grin ): I'd have to look at the alpha test / alpha blending setting. Also check your models normal Also check when using flat polygons that these is no back-culling (like making a modeling software force 2-sided rendering). , yes this could be a possible alternative. The transparent leaves maybe can't give shadows, so the tree would have to have some dummy leaves for shadows or a alpha layer / png skin for shadows. Maybe I just create real 3d leaves for the model. In shade-c checking the ents flag1 turns off it's shadows ( Just fyi) Transparent leaves and simple plains with alpha to fake leaves should cast shadows fine. Again check if you are turning off backface-culling. My notes are from my use of Slin's improved PSSM so I may be wrong for the shade-c version.

I see nothing wrong with it, it also was automatically generated with NVIDIA's plugins. The model itself also seems fine, all closed meshes when checking in MED. And with default acknex lightning also doesn't show anything wrong. It seems more like some conflict between shade-c shadows and #define TRANSPARENT //entity alpha should be interpreted as transparent/translucent? Maybe cause its registers the non-leaves part of the tree also as translucent/transparent? Even though its alpha is 100%.

And with default acknex lightning also doesn't show anything wrong. No I meant the direction normals of the polygons in the model itself not a second normal map. If a polygon normal is misaligned or flipped, the polygon does not draw textures and light correctly. If it's flipped, you get what looks like invisible spots on the mesh. It seems more like some conflict between shade-c shadows and #define TRANSPARENT //entity alpha should be interpreted as transparent/translucent? I'd still think it's because you don't have 2 sided turn on or e.g. backface-culling turned off. Are your leaves just plains with a alpha texture? ED-- I'll look at it now.

With --- #define TRANSPARENT --- alphablendenble == true This has been noted to me by many others as causing sorting errors.. So possible cause Try #define ALPHA but not #define TRANSPARENT Another option is to hack the default.c and turn it to FALSE for defult.fx sc verrsion
#ifdef TRANSPARENT
alphablendenable = true;
BlendOp = Add;
//SrcBlend = InvDestColor;
//DestBlend = One;
//SrcBlendAlpha = InvDestAlpha;//InvDestAlpha;
//DestBlendAlpha = One;
#endif
I still can't find a way to change to a solid_pass. Also this in the main setup
sc_screen_default.settings.lights.sunShadowResolution = 512; //reduce shadow resolution as we are manually setting the shadow range to 5000 and can therefor get away with a small shadowmap
sc_screen_default.settings.lights.sunPssmSplitWeight = 0.7; //high res near splits, low res far splits
sc_screen_default.settings.lights.sunShadowRange = 5000; //manually set the shadow range...we don't need realtime shadows in the far distant! If set to 0 (default) shadow range will be set to camera.clip_far
sc_screen_default.settings.lights.sunShadowBias = 0.001; //set the shadow bias
You can try increasing the '' sc_screen_default.settings.lights.sunShadowResolution = 512; //reduce shadow resolution as we are manually setting the shadow range to 5000 and can therefor get away with a small shadowmap '' Maybe 1024?? I'm really guessing it all out at the moment... Not sure at all. So it's your choice if you want to try these things. EDIT - This might be the way to turn on a solid -pass. I can test, kind of got mad and installed the engine again in you custom transparent.fx add #define PASSSOLID

Try #define ALPHA but not #define TRANSPARENT , this + set(my, TRANSLUCENT); and it works perfectly for both skins with alpha layers and alpha channels. Shadows work perfect too. ty Malice!

Theres a way but u cant layer them over each other. Same as with the glass-car-Windows at threat start. And if youre using ent_animatefrom with different meshes, u will face a engine-bug btw Let me look for more Details...moment edit: I just took this out of my old project. Try which way u like, both have some issues.
BMAP* blood_smear_map1 = "blood1.tga"; // 32bit with alpha channel
...
c_trace
...

Is there a way to make entites very bright regardless if they are in the shadows or not?
I need to make some 3d ui parts white or some other very bright color.
-edit, I came up with an alternative approach. You can use the lightning in your advantage if you only make e.g. the borders non-black (== efffected by lights etc.) and the middle part fully black, possible transparent. This way it doesn't matter much that the colored parts are effected since its only the border (it does not distract) and even makes the border less flat.

Oh I thought the cross was a decal of the player's hammer, hence the 'leave alone' picture/joke.

Anyone tried creating sprites and fog entities with shade-c?
I mean with these functions; ENTITY* sc_ent_softFog(ENTITY* ent, VECTOR* color, int inFadeDist, int inSoftness, int inTexMoveSpeed, VECTOR* noiseScale , int pType)
and ENTITY* sc_ent_softSprite(ENTITY* ent, VECTOR* color, int inFadeDist, int inSoftness, int pType)
I especially wonder how sc_ent_softFog looks like, but I can't seem to get that one working (only see normal map on my entity and not the chosen fog colors).

Setup fog now but still have the same error, maybe I call sc_ent_softFog wrong? (i am trying it on some random models like trees etc):
sc_ent_softFog (my, vector(255, 255, 255), vector(2000, 100, 50), vector(255, 255, 255), 0);

Like that?
vec_set (ambient_color, vector (2, 1, 1));
vec_set (sun_color, vector (55, 55, 55)); //1,1,1
// fog setting's
fog_color = 1;
d3d_fogcolor1.red = 1;
d3d_fogcolor1.green = 2;
d3d_fogcolor1.blue = 1;
camera.fog_start = 20;//20;
camera.fog_end = 500;//150; dann 500
//turn on shade-c's height based fog (for 100% fog set both values very high (default: 9999990 & 9999999)
sc_screen_default.settings.fogData.x = -20; //height fog start
sc_screen_default.settings.fogData.y = 150; //height fog end //125
sc_screen_default.settings.fogNoiseScale = 5;
sc_screen_default.settings.fogData.z = 6;
sc_screen_default.settings.fogData.w = -3;
Just guessing around here, long time ago i scripted something. Another thing... I remeber having a hard time to place good looking blood decals / splashes ( on floor for example ). Did u try already ?

Yeah like that, the fog itself seems to work perfectly, just that entity fog function doesn't seem to do anything. I even tried it the shade-c example with the fog. Maybe its an unfinished function? I remeber having a hard time to place good looking blood decals / splashes ( on floor for example ). Did u try already ?
, from what I have gathered there is 2 ways, either get fully transparent options (from 0-100% from texture) but get glitches when decals cross each other (and possible more problems with lightning, cannot enirely remember). Or get limited transparency (0% or 100% from texture) but no glitches. I use the limited transparency (/the latter). Bullets holes look fairly good, but blood not yet, I quess a darker red and more plain blood texture will look best. Script: p.material = mtl_simpleTransparentGloss; //I gave it this name for the fx code below set(p, TRANSLUCENT); Fx:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//----- USER INPUT -------------------------------------------------------------
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//assign skins

//...

//#define GLOSSMAP //entity has glossmap?

I noticed that when loading maps with low ambient color and/or sun color, Shade-c (evo) emissive shader (/glow shader) on models seems to go buggy (lightning up the whole model even when all emissive textures are black). Anyone know why this is?
Okay it seems to be related to when the textures are loaded. If I wait half a sec before spawning the previously bugged models, it does work correctly. Also if I have already placed some models of the same type, it also seems to work. So I quess there is a period of when shade-c needs to initialize and when you cannot properly create models. I dont entirely get this but anyway it works now.

. Someone is still using ShadeC? ... Wow, what can i say.... I feel sorry for you? Since i somehow got here (thank you, internet), lets make the best out of it I see you guys had (and still have?) a hard time using ShadeC. Some of the problems were already solved in the ShadeC Wiki here: https://github.com/BoHHavoc/ShadeC-EVO/wikiSolutions to other problems and questions: (note: i can not test these since i do not have gamestudio installed. These are of the top of my head and from looking at the ShadeC source on github): Q: Is it possible to use non-shadec shaders with shadec? A: Yes. There are two options. 1. (Not the best option, but good for fast testing) Enable forward rendering support (sc_screen_default.settings.forward.enabled = 1;) and then disable deferred rendering for the entity in question and set it to the forward rendering pass instead. You do that by calling sc_skill(entity, SC_OBJECT_PASS, SC_PASS_FORWARD). To set it back to the default gbuffer pass, use sc_skill(entity, SC_OBJECT_PASS, SC_PASS_GBUFFER). If set to SC_PASS_FORWARD the entity will be rendered using any shader/material you give it using the default Acknex rendering. The entity will then be rendered AFTER all other solid objects in the gbuffer are rendered, and BEFORE rendering transparent objects (...if i remember correctly). Note though, that shadows, ssao and dof might not work correctly. You MIGHT be able to get shadows working by using sc_skill(entity, SC_OBJECT_MATERIAL_SHADOWMAP, yourShadowMaterial). See example 05 for a custom shadowmap material/shader. 2. (Best option) Port the shader to shadec. I tried to make this as simple and easy as possible (yeah, sure. hah!). Read both chapters about custom shaders in the wiki, then take a look at 05_dissolve.fx, 05_dissolveShadow.fx as well as 05_livingBloom.fx, 05_livingBloomShadow.fx in the example folder to see some examples on how it is done. Note that the xxxShadow.fx is only needed if you change the vertex positions or alpha via a shader (i.e. you change the "surface" of the model). Otherwise you wont need it since the shadow will already be correct. Also, have a look at example 05 in general to see how to use these shaders. For full understanding of how to extend/customize a shadec shader, search for #define include_scObject in default.fx. Q: Can i use particles with ShadeC? A: Yes. Enable forward rendering by setting sc_screen_default.settings.forward.enabled = 1; . Q: Can i use terrainshader XY? A: Yes. Either port it to shadec or render it in forward mode (shadows might not work). See question above. Q: Transparency is not working! A: Two options here: 1. ShadeC only supports one layer of transparency. This is a technical limitation of deferred rendering. To use it, add #define TRANSPARENT to a shadec shader. This is good for things like windows, but will fail miserably when being used for grass. 2. Render the object in forward rendering. See question above on how to to that. Q: ZNEAR is not working! A: Yes, this is totally correct due to the nature of ZNEAR and what it does. Do not use it. Ever. It might even be a good idea to not use it in non-shadec projects. If you want the same behaviour as ZNEAR, make a copy of the shader you use on your ZNEAR object. Then, in the shader, in the technique, set zwriteenable = false and zfunc = always. Also, set sc_skill(entity, SC_OBJECT_DEPTH, 0) to set the depthvalue of the object to a value directly in front of the camera. No more questions i can remember, but i think those were the most prominent ones. The biggest misunderstanding i think is, that most people think ShadeC can only render objects using deferred rendering. Now you should know, that you can always fall back to forward rendering for specific objects that need it. Be careful however to not overdo it. Forward rendering is perfectly fine if you don't want or don't need ShadeC lighting/shadows for an object. It is also a valid option for transparent objects that need multiple layers of transparency (grass, particles). Also, special effects (refractions, heat haze, cartoon style, etc) and 3D UI are a good usecase for this. For almost everything else you should create a ShadeC compatible shader though, since it will be faster and can make full use of all ShadeC features. If you guys are interested you can compile a list with questions from everybody and send it to me. I will try to answer them as best as i can. We can also hook up on skype for a live Q&A / go through that list. It would also be very nice to talk to you in general I'm located in germany, so talking either in german or english is fine with me. Keep in mind however, that i am very very busy with my work, so please don't be angry if i don't have enough time to answer everything in detail Please send the questions and your skype name(s) to wolfgang [a.t} gentlymad.org . I was nice seeing that people still use ShadeC. Thank you for that. (Although i still feel sorry for you ) Cheers!

Wow, what can i say.... I feel sorry for you? , its not that bad! Using Shade-C evo now for my current project I would take it everytime over the default gs3d stuff and available normal map shaders etc. Its good for us who are not shader experts but do want to finish their gs3d projects. Also thanks for answers, most of the stuff I have already found out except for: 1) Changing camera.clip_far in the middle of a map. I want to change it when changing fog values, however it gives visual errors than (weird shadows etc). Any solution to this? 2) The ZNEAR one; in which shader do I need to put the zwriteenable = false and zfunc = always lines? Do I need to put it in the .fx file that I link to an entity material? Here maybe? (I am not so good at shader stuff ):
#include <scHeaderObject>
// <-
// insert custom code here
// ->
#include <scObject>
BONES Set this flag if you want support for GPU Bones.
, omg I did not know this feature, after adding it to the .fx files I now have twice as much fps in my project...

How to support 2nd uv LightMap/ShadowMap with ShadeC-EVO? (Target map or skin##) 2. How to support terrain shader with ShadeC-EVO?(Mulit Texture) 3. How to support water shader with ShadeC-EVO? Cheers!

, omg I did not know this feature, after adding it to the .fx files I now have twice as much fps in my project... Hmm In my case it didn't make a difference. In my project when having for example four animated characters in the screen fps drop from 60 to around 30. After setting #define BONES in the .fx if got the same performance. Did you make any other thanges? I noticed that when disabling sun shadows fps get way higher, but not sure if gpu bones rendering is used for shadow mapping views too.

3. How to support water shader with ShadeC-EVO? , have you tried using Steempipe's water shader from 2004? After adding a alpha channel to the used skybox texture it looks pretty good. Also somewhat supports shade-c evo's lights and shadows if you make its transparent enough. Hmm In my case it didn't make a difference. In my project when having for example four animated characters in the screen fps drop from 60 to around 30. After setting #define BONES in the .fx if got the same performance. Did you make any other thanges? I noticed that when disabling sun shadows fps get way higher, but not sure if gpu bones rendering is used for shadow mapping views too. , yes I also set "max_bones = 1;" before the change which already helped a bit, and I must say I am using some high poly models. Like 1 with even ~12500 faces. Also, I only set it for entities like player, enemies, allies etc (entities that move around) cause I noticed it created a visible hole/glitch in a static wall model (not sure if this impacts the speed, probably not).

The model I'm using (player and three enemies) has 9616 faces and 5776 vertices, so it should perform okay.

Damn I just noticed that #define BONES seems to break the shadows of animated entities (it shows them as they were not animated). So there is choice to make; more fps and somewhat lame shadows or worse fps and 'animated' shadows. I quess that is why the fps gain was pretty high and why your fps went higher when you disabled sun shadows. Setting max_bones to 1 improved the performance, but still no difference setting BONES or not. The model I'm using (player and three enemies) has 9616 faces and 5776 vertices, so it should perform okay. , have you set it like this #define BONES //enable gpu support in the right .fx file? Also what kind of gpu do you have? (dont know if that matters) Might also has to do with how complex your models' bones setups are.

I'm thinking about using a lower poly variant of the model for the shadows to get more performance, like you can do in engine shadows using shadow_lod, but not sure it that would be possible in shade-c.

GPU bones animation is A8Pro only. Damn I just noticed that #define BONES seems to break the shadows of animated entities (it shows them as they were not animated). The shader that records depths from the light source has to animate the models too, so adding #define BONES to it could work. Just a guess, I never used shadec Salud!

Just a guess, I never used shadec Salud! , I LOVE YOU AND YOUR GENIUS BRAIN! (for others add #define BONES to sc_lights_shadowmap.fx found in shadec/fx folder. Note that is costs you a bit of fps but its still alot better than cpu bones)

I've been playing last days with shade-c EVO trying to get it working with gamestudio's multitexture terrain shader but got no luck. Tried setting forward rendering for it but didn't work. Has anyone got any sucess getting a multitexture terrain shader to work on shade-c evo?
Getting the gamestudio multiterrain shader to work with it would be nice as it's the one that GED uses so we could paint terrains using it.

Just seen Boh_havoc himself posted in our topic. Great. Thanks for taking the time. And thanks for offering a contact btw. Will be usefull for sure. Greets Edit: would be cool if you look into this topic from time to time. Then we could collect all questions in here. @painkiller Also interested in terrain support. If i remember right we only had bad workarounds or using models instead

Well, in general I wouldn't consider 177 fps that fast. But yeah, nowadays gpu accelerated animations are a must.

I faced a really strange thing. When adding entity Arrays to a shadeC Project, ull be hunted by strange randomly appearing bugs. Its hard to explain, but already confirmed by 3run ( my example i uploaded ). I made this example. Its basicly the std. example from shadeC with around 50 new lines. In this example the c_move call makes the script Crash ( but only if its commented out WTF ). This is just one example of bug with Array in shadeC. Without Arrays all works fine. And if you take the Array stuff out of shadec Project it also works. https://www.file-upload.net/download-13105427/arrayBUGshadeC.rar.html
#define MAX_ENEMY 9999
#define MAX_ENEMY2 9999
var ENEMIES_TOTAL = 0;
var ENEMIES_TOTAL2 = 0;
ENTITY* enemy_list [MAX_ENEMY];
ENTITY* enemy_list2 [MAX_ENEMY2];
action actEnemy(){
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (ENEMIES_TOTAL >= MAX_ENEMY) { ptr_remove(my); return; }
enemy_list [ENEMIES_TOTAL] = my;
ENEMIES_TOTAL++;
}
action actEnemy2(){
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (ENEMIES_TOTAL2 >= MAX_ENEMY2) { ptr_remove(my); return; }
enemy_list2 [ENEMIES_TOTAL2] = my;
ENEMIES_TOTAL2++;
}
void updateNPC_both(){
ENTITY* tempEnt; // instead of my/me were using tempEnt
ENTITY* tempEnt2; // instead of my/me were using tempEnt
int i = 0; // the "itemindex" in the for cycle
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
while (1){ // handle all enemys as long as...
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
for (i = 0; i < ENEMIES_TOTAL; i++){ // cycle through all enemys in array now
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// --- [ fill pointers ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tempEnt = enemy_list[i];
tempEnt2 = enemy_list2[i];
if (tempEnt == NULL) continue;
if (tempEnt2 == NULL) continue;
if (tempEnt2.skill1 == 0) beep; // baam
}
wait (1);
}
}
main.c:
updateNPC_both();
ent_create ("modela.mdl", vector (0,0,0), actEnemy);
ent_create ("modela.mdl", vector (0,0,0), actEnemy2);
This tiny contruct will Crash when u continue adding stuff, hard to explain. edit: I know the using of two arrays like i did in this example is shitty...anyway it should work.

try using dynamic memory allocation Edit: or try increasing the nexus. to my knowledge the engine doesn't tell you s*** when it's full

Hey 3run, I think I got it working before iirc. I can look for it this weekend. Hey, it would be great if you could check it out. I tried to give it a try, but found out, that even in defines there is no SHADOW for pointlights...
//pointlight
#define SC_LIGHT_P 0
#define SC_LIGHT_P_SPEC 1
#define SC_LIGHT_P_SPEC_PROJ 2
#define SC_LIGHT_P_PROJ 3
//spotlight
#define SC_LIGHT_S 10
#define SC_LIGHT_S_SPEC 11
#define SC_LIGHT_S_SPEC_SHADOW 12
#define SC_LIGHT_S_SHADOW 13
int sc_lpp_getLightType(unsigned int inBitflag)
{
int bitMask = 0;
//pointlights
bitMask = (SC_LIGHT_POINT);
if( inBitflag == bitMask) return SC_LIGHT_P;
bitMask = (SC_LIGHT_POINT | SC_LIGHT_SPECULAR);
if( inBitflag == bitMask) return SC_LIGHT_P_SPEC;
bitMask = (SC_LIGHT_POINT | SC_LIGHT_PROJECTION);
if( inBitflag == bitMask) return SC_LIGHT_P_PROJ;
bitMask = SC_LIGHT_POINT | SC_LIGHT_SPECULAR | SC_LIGHT_PROJECTION;
if( (inBitflag & bitMask) == bitMask) return SC_LIGHT_P_SPEC_PROJ;
//spotlights
bitMask = (SC_LIGHT_SPOT);
if( inBitflag == bitMask || inBitflag == (bitMask | SC_LIGHT_PROJECTION) ) return SC_LIGHT_S;
bitMask = (SC_LIGHT_SPOT | SC_LIGHT_SPECULAR);
if( inBitflag == bitMask || inBitflag == (bitMask | SC_LIGHT_PROJECTION) ) return SC_LIGHT_S_SPEC;
bitMask = (SC_LIGHT_SPOT | SC_LIGHT_SHADOW);
if( inBitflag == bitMask || inBitflag == (bitMask | SC_LIGHT_PROJECTION) ) return SC_LIGHT_S_SHADOW;
bitMask = (SC_LIGHT_SPOT | SC_LIGHT_SPECULAR | SC_LIGHT_SHADOW);
if( inBitflag == bitMask || inBitflag == (bitMask | SC_LIGHT_PROJECTION) ) return SC_LIGHT_S_SPEC_SHADOW;
return SC_LIGHT_P;
}

Is there any example of the Shade-c EVO with terrains? I know only the one which was made by oliver32 (if I'm not mistaken his nickname), it was a game prototype about trucks, etc, he was even selling the source code. Terrains with EVO should be possible, but I never gave them a try myself. As BoH_Havoc said: Q: Can i use particles with ShadeC? A: Yes. Enable forward rendering by setting sc_screen_default.settings.forward.enabled = 1;
Q: Can i use terrainshader XY? A: Yes. Either port it to shadec or render it in forward mode (shadows might not work). See question above.

Seems like I was able to remove all memory leaks (at least no leaks in acklog when I run all examples from the latest github version). They mainly were caused by 'sc_skill_', sc_viewEvent_init, sc_materials_init and setupMaterial in example05. If only we could get pointlights to have shadows, this could be some good alternative to boost graphics, yet outdated, but much better than default shaders... Edit: this is how I'm trying to create a pointlight sc_light_create(vector(-86, -82, 322), 1000, vector(1024, 512, 0), SC_LIGHT_POINT | SC_LIGHT_SHADOW); And yet, there are no shadows at all...

Would be sad it pointlights don't support shadows... And from what I can see in code, they don't :< I tried to fake the pointlight by creating 6 spotlights and increasing they arc, but it doesn't really look great. Edit: I've uploaded version with memory leak fixes, it can be found here: https://github.com/3RUN/ShadeC-EVO

Hey yo friends. Want to post this link 3run just posted. Its a fixed version of the loved shadeC. I did not use it for now cause my gpu gone to heaven and ive problems with my pc. Anyway...heres the link 3run githubedit: For me a sc_material_event (if i remember right) error showed up after a few minutes I was not able to reproduce. But this never happend before. for now iam back to the leaky version. edit-end Sorry if somebody already posted it here. edit: Iam still trying with terrain btw. But for now i always ended up with a model file with stretched texture. Not really good...

First i did now see the BONES GPU anim FLAG...just a second ago i read: , I LOVE YOU AND YOUR GENIUS BRAIN! grin (for others add #define BONES to sc_lights_shadowmap.fx found in shadec/fx folder. Note that is costs you a bit of fps but its still alot better than cpu bones) Wow...how not to see, this mighty post from txesmi, this long time...testing this soon to have shadows on animated ents again. Great.
