What happened to the shadows? o.O

Oh, sorry . I make some new screens.

Edit: Screenshots uploaded. Thanks for the hint.

On holiday

because my current project is quite similar.... what happen in your demo in detail ?

So speak quick

(nice water)

The project is a pure graphics demo. No gameplay. It was a disposable product to test ourselves.

But we realized that the original project plan was too big and risky for us as a small team working together over the internet. It´s a hard job to get a working workflow and, in addition, some of us were too unexperienced.

But happily we reached our goal to produce a nice looking demo for a presentation on Gamescom 11 and managed to impress a certain publisher with it. So it ended up fine. Most of us learned much. I can`t go in the details, that might be too interntal for other team members.

The water shader is done by Slin. I like it, too.

Oh, pretty I'd love to try a demo just to see it in all its glory.

You said you made the level in blender...
How are you making the shadows?
So you use shadow maps, or is it all realtime?

The shadows are gamestudios pssm with some hacky bug fixes...
They look by far not great in action, but it looks much better than without.
Thanks to however a not so great level setup and not so great pssm stuff, the shadows are really slow... Without the level runs at something far above 60fps and with shadows, I get like 25fps...
