Current Features: - High Dynamic Range Rendering - Depth of Field with dynamic autofocus - Easily attach more Post Processing Effects, set their mtl.skills and mtl.skins (works with the PPEs supplied with A7) - Small library of ready to use Post Processing Effects (including heat haze, a toon- and sketch shader) - Ready to use object shaders (including velvety, carpaint and a skin shader) - lite-c only, no plugins are used - easy integration to do list: - include dynamic hdr gamma correction - include volumetric sunlight shader - include volumetric particle shader - get ambience occlusion to work - include ambience occlusion shader - add vecSkill vars to object shaders and write a function to easily set them - clean up object shaders - finish vector art shader and implement it - add more shaders (let me know what you want): + "number 23"-like post processing effect - finish manual - fix bugs/make shade-c more user friendly/etc. - everything else i forgot Grab it here (There's also a compiled testapp) I hope there aren't too many bugs in the code and typos in the manual. Well then, enjoy and give feedback please Shade-C EVO Lite-C Shader Framework

I really wanted to start in the next few hours to add these shaders on my own but you were first ^^ [EDIT] Is there a way to switch through the shaders in the test bed? [EDIT2] Quote: IMPORTANT NOTE: shade-c uses entity.skills89-99. Make sure they aren't used by your project! This is bad. Why don't you use a linked datastructure to reduce the necessary skills to 1 ??? [EDIT3] I noticed that you use 5 or 6 stages for HDR. Isnt it possible to reduce it to one shader? Wouldnt this also increase rendering speed? Can s_mtl_hdrColor be used to add a color filter to the scene? [EDIT4] Could you please describe in short how I can extract the DOF and HDR shader from your framework to integrate them into my own? Last edited by HeelX; 03/23/08 19:07.

Quote: I noticed that you use 5 or 6 stages for HDR. Isnt it possible to reduce it to one shader? Wouldnt this also increase rendering speed? Can s_mtl_hdrColor be used to add a color filter to the scene? Yessum i use 6 stages. 1 stage: downsample the scene for speed reasons. 2 stage: do a highpass 3 stage: blur the screen (gaussian i think, i always mix box and gaussian) 4 stage: horizontal blur 5 stage: vertical blur 6 stage: upsample and combine hdr with the scene (tonemapping) so basically you could cut this down to 4 stages, by not using the horizontal and vertical blur. If you know a way to do HDR in one pass i would be more than interisted in this s_mtl_hdrColor is a remaining of my testscene. It's not used by anything ad has no purpose. Thanks for pointing it out. Applying a color filter to the final hdr stage sounds like a good idea however.

Good testbeds allow the user to see everything your <insert app.. in this case shade-C> features. If you are too tired to make a super-adjustable thing, make different demos or different "pages"/"scenes" with different shaders. Quote: What do you mean by linked datastructure? An array? Reducing the needed skills to 1 would be great. It seems that you are storing data in these skills. Though, saying the user that these skills are unavoidable used by shade-C makes a bitter taste on the tongue :-) I was in same situation some weeks ago: for a customer I made a plugin. At first there were only 6 skills I needed, after some development iterations I used over 30 skills to save and log running data which very necessary and not able to be reduced anymore. So I created a struct which holds the data and write the adress of the struct into only one skill. The co-routine which works on that entity with this data than restores by casting each frame a pointer to that datastructure. To remove the entity I wrote a special function which checks if the linking skill is != 0. If yes, the entity is using that plugin and the linked datastructure, so it removes it first and after that ent_remove is called. Easy, isnt it? Quote: If you know a way to do HDR in one pass i would be more than interisted in this I will investigate that later when I figured out how to rip HDR from your "framework". Quote: Applying a color filter to the final hdr stage sounds like a good idea however. That would be nice if you can add this comes in handy when you are programming day/night cycles, like giving the scene a blue touch at night and a warm orange tone when its sunrise. Quote: I'll have a look at it, but it shouldn't be to much work. But not today, i'm too tired. Thanks! [EDIT] Maybe you can add a function that removes all stages.

Reading this it comes to my mind: what about fog, do your shaders work with fog, too? http://www.puppenheim.org/ http://www.wuerfels-welt.de Old Game Tutorial: http://www.puppenheim.org/MITutorial.zip Free Game Editor: http://puppenheim.org/AlienalsWeihnachtsmann.zip http://www.puppenheim.org/blender_starting_main_settings.txt

When I try to run my game it says: Code: Error in 'MAIN' line 13: 'var' undeclared identifier < var s_rtScale = 256; //render-target size> <include ^s_shadeC.c>;> MAIN.WDL 1:2 (): Script error s_shadeC.c All I did was include the s_shadec.c file and call s_initshaders
