Hey Matt how would you make it for a6(are you using C+++++++ or what ?) Or is it just very advanced shader that can be built within the fx file that you sure wont tell us about xD because it's your way to earn money  thax in advance ps. how can i have 5 stars on the rating an you have only 3 but i'm nowhere close to you.

you were rated only once, matt 116 times. shaders can't "view" into the game world, i think he is speaking about sphere, a plugin he writes to overcome the "render to texture"-pro-only feature limitation. but he's replacing the inbuilt renderer - i'm not sure here - which makes not much sense imo...
(don't get me wrong, it's probably the best solution for what you're doing).

I'm talking about a new plugin, not Sphere, that does screen effects like diffraction, HDR, bloom, depthf of field.. etc..
Sphere doesnt totally replace the A6 renderer, but does do much of the rendering internally, this is because the A6 renderer is not set up for things like realtime shadow mapping and so on. Sphere and my new plugin does a LOT more than replace render to texture.
In fact, using the Pro redner-to-texture is not ideal for many effects because you cant control draw order, so you get a one-frame lag, and so on.

Wow, this sounds sweet. Hopefully the DOF, diffraction, mabye even motion blur ect. works alongside the bloom/HDR. Hopefully each graphical feature will be standalone as well, that way a user can easily implement it in their projects without all the menu code, templates, other entities(terrain) overhead that Sphere2 had. A problem I've had with Sphere 2.0 is that everything seems connected, and it's quite hard to implement different graphic/fx features in my project. I've tried implementing the water for example, but it's connected with the terrain, a couple other functions with much in them, and I couldn't seem to figure out where the rendering for refraction/reflection is from. Also, know when you might be done this new plugin? btw - Your right about the render-to-texture not being as great.
