i hope this topic is scheduled for removal.

I can just say... WoW! Such amazing graphics, how did you get the shadows?!

This exactly shows what the engine is able to render

snicker snicker....

I never noticed the 3dgs can do such a thing...

I would pay a lot to get the shaders and textures they used here!

?
This is my shader engine: Onyx Engin3 (tm)
Not A7's engine
Also, what would you imrpove on the graphics, i really would like suggestions.
Right now it uses radiosity lighting with specular transfer.
The shaders are Normalmapping with height and detail mapping + specular and radiosity mapping.
please comment - also, the shadow is the only part being calculated by the A7 engine, I just wanted to show the compatability between the two. -Michael-

nice shaders on that walls, but is it really necassary to use an ext. plugin to get these working?

well for the radiosity lighting it is actually.
As for the shaders, they can work with/without the engine.
However, the engine adds specular + diffuse radiosity lighting, decal managment, and some other nice bonuses.
The engine also boasts nice physics and other effects that are unique but easily controlable through c-script / A7
