If modified enough, can shere enine work with level geometry as well as models, like real time shadow generation with dynamic lights etc?

Matt did already answer you that question, in this thread:

http://www.coniserver.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=588379&an=0&page=0#588379

The answer seems to be "yes" - sphere could work with level geometry with some modifications, at least for the shader. But I wouldn't think about using level geo with sphere that at all, models are much faster than level geometry. Sphere with highest details and a high screen resolution is slow enough Nevertheless, I think it would be much harder to make the shadows work with levelgeometry, because the shader code doesn't have to be modified too much (at least the ones I use don't have to), but making projected shadows work with levelgeometry could be pretty complicated o_O

Don't listen to me, wait for matt's answer, he knows 100x more + better.

Sphere itself will never work with world geometry as there is no way to actually render world geometry in a dll (well i suppose there may be a way but i dont know about it)..and the fact is, world geometry has many problems with tangent generation that make it unuseable...plus it is very slow, and limited to convex shapes.

However, after the Octree update is available, then maybe the mesh system will be differnt , so Sphere should be able to use the world models you can import.

Sorry about how long it took to respond but my computer went and crashed and I needed to reinstall it, anyways what would need to be done to make sphere work with geometry?

Sorry, SPhere is not designed to work with Level gemoetry, and there is no way to mdify it to do so. But models are better anyway.
