I absolutely dont undertsnad why JCL was interested in paying for more than 2 month. I mean: THIS plugin could push 3DGamestudio with a solid Lightning implimentation.

I would be very happy to see this for A8.
My Bombermanclone could really use it(mh..explosions with nice dynamic shadows^^)

Ps: Motivation Mail on its way

Please do an A8 version of it. It would be a revolution in graphics for gamestudio.

What about making a demo indoor and outdoor as big as that of Sphere from Matt AufderHeide.
I can say for my part that I don't trust any shader compilation before I see a big level that runs smooth and fast and that contains almost every common situation of plattformer or fps shooter levels, and a tutorial that shows me how to implement it in my game.
I wasted too much time with such things.

The Sphere demos werent bigger than mine. As I remember right the indoor demo has had 3 dynamic lights with shadows. My one has 7 and additional simple lights.
The outdoor demo wasnt more than a terrain with a bit vegetation and a simple water shader. My one consits of the sponza palace and a lot pillars placed on a terrain (simple multitex) with some simple lights and cascaded shadowmapping.

Eventually Sphere was a commercial solution, LF is free.

I dont plan to extend LF anymore since it lags in several aspects.
If it isnt much to tweak I will add the A8 support in about 2 months.
Eventually LF has not enough materials/effects to be a suitable shader pipeline for a bigger project.

Sorry, I missed actually the demo with the terrain , because I hadn't a graphic card with shader 3.0 that time.(EDIT: or I forgot that I'd seen it, when I had a look at it later, because it is a night scenery?. [BTW: What a great atmosphere for a Thief-like game! You could make a puzzle game, where the thief has always to stay in the shadow, and for that he has to wait for the moon wandering over the sky to use certain shadows in certain edges to get his way from shadow to shadow.])
My thoughts were about selling LF for A8 commercially, because JCL didn't want to pay you for adapting it to A8, but I somehow forgot about telling this in my post. Sorry.

Yeah, I guess alot of people would pay for a good, read-to-use shader pipeline...

Yeah ( I too )

Hey, I'm still interested on an A8 Version of LightFrog. Pleeeezeee, I will sent you a thousand of motivation pm's, if I have to.

Send him thousands of motivation dollars if you are really interested.

i dont think you quite understand what a "motivational" email is
