looks really good. hope we can see more of this soon.

lights and shadow can be a pain in gs, so everyhing that can improve this is more then welcome.

cheers

Looks really nice!

wow thats vent stuff! (cant write more right now due to massive alk abuse)

Man that looks sooo cool!

ventilator, could you please sell this already as sort of very early beta, please?


Would like to fumble around with it soooo eager!!! [Is this actually an english sentence? Please, any nativ speaker, correct me! Would like to know it.]

Yeah, a demo would be nice. I want to test it in my Stonehill city that consists of models only

it isn't really ready yet. with my simple test level it works great but i guess you would have more fun to try it with your own models.

unfortunately i noticed that with more complex models there can be artifacts at small triangles (light mapping never will be 100% artifact free but with the current version they still are too annoying i think). i guess the automatic uv-map generation which is the crucial point of this whole thing has to be more optimized and i hope i can achieve that.

but in case it works out it will be very cool. i made a very simple light editor now and ingame light editing really is fun. it's a much nicer workflow than doing it in WED.

Would it be possible to check, if the pixel that were hit has an alpha channel and give the shadow pixel the same transparency? This would be usefull to create for e.g. shadows for trees.

do you mean shadows on the tree itself or the shadow the tree casts?

handling transparent shadow casters would be possible with some effort but i am not sure if it were worth it. i think often the light map wouldn't have a high enough resolution for displaying the shadows of individual leaves of a tree anyway?

I'd add it, just make sure that you get the $$ from selling it for implementing all the nice/stable/good features people would look for. Giles does it...(I think), here's the results I got:
