@Joey

Sorry about that, cleared now .

Spent yesterday coding light shaft post processing, finished up on it today.

Also MichaelGale has been working on some simple but powerful networking for BlendELF: http://forum.blendelf.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=29

pp light shafts, am I right?

nevertheless, looks good

Yeah pp light shafts

Network! Yaaay!

Lightshafts look overdone, but it's okay, cause this is supposed to demonstrate them...
I saw some real lightshafts this morning, in the forest... looked very cool...

What I'd really like to see is more stress-test stuff. A larger level. More stuff. LOD... you know, game-situation type stuff. But I assume you have all hands full with the work you're doing atm...

Great. This will probably look fantastic with some vegetation.

BlendELF 0.9 Beta released!

Whats new:
- skeletal animations
- C++ and .NET API
- particles ( + mesh emitters )
- light shaft post processing effect
- joystick support
- physics updates (joints, restitution, sleep threshold and limiting physics to axises)
- IPO curves (for animations)
- more tutorials (GUI, particles, C++)
- rendering optimizations
- bug fixes
- Misc.: global tick rate and speed controls, errors recorded to elf.log, scn and gui built in variables removed (functions now return these objects, check the tutorials), over riding F10

Big thanks for Michael Gale for the .NET bindings.

Great, I love it. It all looks superb.

Maybe you could send us a couple of images and some text and we promote it in our User Gallery:
http://www.dexsoft-games.com/gallery/index.html

We could also use it in the future to showcase our models with it instead of using Marmoset or others. Maybe we can talk via MSN, PM or Mail about it.

Cool stuff and you are very good at presenting it
I didn´t yet look into it in more detail, but is it possible, that your "shader system" is a bit inflexible? I mean, how easy is it to implement something on your own, without touching the engine itself?
It reminds me a bit of ShiVa, in both, the good and the bad, but so far mainly the good And well, I like that license, even though I like MIT even more .

In the current API, there isn't a possibility to create your own shaders (they get chosen automatically depending on what texture maps you specify for a material, like normal/parallax/specular maps). I might make a somewhat easy to use system for custom shaders. Assuming that I'll write a deferred renderer at some point, that feature will might/will be gone for a few or more releases though (assuming that I'll have it implemented by then which is very unsure), since deferred rendering is the most inflexible system ever xD.
