@darkinferno No it's not just one model. Shadowmaps for each mesh are individually rendered-to-texture. And no it doesn't eat framerate, at the contrary it's done to speed it up.

This is a sample of the second uv set of each mesh rendered ( simple ambient occlusion ) :

Don't pay attention to the framerate here, I was running my laptop on batteries, when I plugged it in the framerate went up x3



By the way I've been playing with the trees and this is what I got so far ( ) :

Once again, colours might look dull just yet, there is no dynlighting nor hdrl on as I'm waiting for the new version of shade-c to fix it.

Also the terrain looks a bit too flat for my tastes, I'm probably gonna download EarthSculptor or something like that and see what I can pull out.
