Hey lostclimate , since you claim all this things are so easy in gamestudio , why not put together a simple shader template that will work properly ? Kind of like what Matt tried to do with Sphere , but properly working , since Sphere is useless for an actual game. Maybe Matt didn't know something you do , I think the whole community would enjoy something of this nature , and you seem to think it's cake to do. Oh yeah , and maybe a small easy to make precipitation script kinda like the one from Torque 3d , would be very handy , it shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes according to you to put together , and EVERYONE here would love having a nice script like that that works properly. Thanks in advance , this things seem to be a bit complex to the average gamestudio user like myself , but gamestudio gurus like you seem to say it's nothing more than a 15 minute job , I'm sure you can spare 15 minutes and help us all out while at the same time restoring gamestudio's reputation ?
