it has a documentation.

yea, the documentation is good, but he could expand it little more. with some examples or tutorials (for people that are not quite familiar with shaders)

I am sure that BoH_Havok would be happy if you would expand it...
You should know that creating a documentation is a lot of boring work which takes a lot of time.

hehe, i know. well i understood everything except adding shaders to models in level (i understood it but not completely) and i think that small example or just small written tutorial could be great

I'll upload the source of the demolevel once i have the time + internet access at home (=> weekend). That should get you started.
If you have more suggestions: Keep them coming

I'll reply to the other posts at the weekend, too.

I'm still waiting for this to be version 1.x to add it to our "for developers" section!

You've done a good job BoH, I've devoted myself to making small changes to the toon shader, and am trying new stuff. Thanks for it by the way, you're going in Kino One's credits .

I think there may be something wrong with the water shader, the reflections of these flames are going crazy:

Apart from that, these shaders are awwwwweeessssommmmee! definately one of the greatest things ever to happen to gamestudio

Your shaders really blow my mind. And from what I can understand from the code you've already released, I think it's not that hard to add your shaders to existing scenes. I just portet my scene to light-c for this but I just can't get the shaders to work with my objects. The DoF-Effect I tried so far. Well I'm rather new to GS...

I'm looking forward to see how the source code looks like, maybe I can get it to work then.

Thanks for your great work!

any news?

erbismi: the waterplane has to has a z value of 0, otherwise you will get bugs. Example: vector(102,9212,0) works, vector(102,9212,1) does not work. I hope i will be able to fix this soon.


I'm still working on shade-c of course, but university is more important for me now / needs more time. We are having lots of workshops in 3dsmax, photoshop, illustrator and whatnot. There's also lots of homework to do. A typical day currently looks like this: Go to university, get home in the afternoon, do the homework, go to sleep. It's a little stressful at the moment, but hey: it's fun!
Workshops in Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop are finished and the others will also come to an end in ~2 weeks, so i have more time for other things again.


I actually did work a little on shade-c however as i want to further improve it myself. Here's what has been done so far:

- enabling/disabling/changing post processing effects at runtime is working 85%. HDRR is still producing errors in some cases. getting this finished has highest priority

- started on a new ambience occlusion shader. It's finally a good looking one, kinda like the "stochastic global illumination"-option you see in some modeling apps. It's not useable for games at the moment however as there are some artifacts in some cases. has low priority atm.

- started working on screen spaced shadows. If this turn out well, you could virtually use unlimited lights which would all cast dynamic soft shadows. This is still in a very early stage. Have to do some more geek talk with the guys at the university. High priority (as this is really interisting to realize and .. well... we all want dynamic soft shadows don't we? )


That's it for now. I will release the next version when enabling/disabling/changing post processing effects works correctly so TechMuc can integrate Shade-C into his wysiwyg-editor.

have a nice week everyone!
