I uploaded a new version and would like those the previous versions were not properly working for to test this one. My solution for the heat refraction is not the best but at least it should work now. As well as the blurred stencils, the DoF and the water.
It can be downloaded here: http://files.filefront.com/DemoLevel+V053rar/;10140487;/fileinfo.html

Thanks!

I tried it several times, one of them, the water was perfect from any perspective above the water. The other times the waters mirroring consists of sort of rests of other 'views'.

Heaze and soft stencil doesn't work this time. Dof doesn't have any sharp focus.

Poor slin :p trying to fix one problem and the whole demo breaks :S
could it be compatibility issues with the other shaders? or is it just some quirks that make them break.

try walking in the water, when you get underneath the surface you suddenly see a hole in the bottom :p atleast it did at my computer,

I'm by god no expert but if I were you, I would make seperate demos for every effect. And if every effect works on all pc's than you can test them together.

hmm dark i think thats the same work to test one or test all.. the better way I think is test all to check how compare they are together

But if a single shader has a problem than the best solution is to test it seperate so that you can exclude that the other things interrupt this shader.
I would never build a softwareproject as one thing. The normal task should be to create every feature seperate and than merge them together. Especially if more people are working together.
Trust me, this is much easier

i cant get it work.(the demo)

i place the d3d9_someting dll in the folder but it is not recognized. it still says it cant find the dll.


nvm. i forgot to install dx9

so i test it the water work fine, the effekts too only the haze shader show the model sides annnd i had a big camera prblem that suck the models in one angel in some camerapositions annd the blur iss tooo much^^

I think that there are some hardware restrictions for render targets I don´t know about.
The concept of this project is that each shader works independant from the others, this means that I just have to uncomment two lines and the shader is excluded from the project (with which I mean that the compiler doesn´t get any line of the code). Because of that it is very easy to make sure that there aren´t compability issues. And my biggest problem is that everything works fine on my system (8800gts 640mb).

The problems are the wrong rendered depthmap, the wrong/not/however rendered refraction map and the sometimes wrong rendered reflection map.
These are all using render to texture. The heat haze worked on more systems before I changed the resolution from 512*512 to 256*256.

i tested the 0.5.3.

bloom,water,radial works fine.

soft-stencils doent work because of the dof view(or quad).
i mean, if shadows gets outside of the dof view they are blurred:



heat haze and shadows of the trees are not working well, heat haze is just gray and the shadows of trees are not using alphas.
