Work on integrating new Shade-C Evo in IceX3 Leveleditor. Most things are working now. Hope I can release soon the anounced version of IceX3. But it's still a lot to do.

Daaaamn that looks good, oli!

this is a great insppiration to go into shade-c evo
will you post in the shade-c thread your fixes or contact Boh-Havok only?

I will post the fixes, but there not so many Most things I've done are workarounds. I've added fog to shade-c evo, but for that I've had to kick out the emissive mask (never used this ever).

And the wrong fog color I reported as bug, is now working, but just because I adjusted the color by eye.

Sky is still blurred with DOF, but I think it looks nice in combination with fog (nice fadeout of level). But only if the sky has no clouds

And shadow has no alpha clipping yet (EDIT: I've solved it, now it's working )

great news. this evo pack is much more complex than the old ones, probably it requires a lot of time to really get familiar with it... I see you made a compatible terrain multitexturing shader, but I'm afraid a compatible water shader would be a much more difficult thing...

I already spend a lot of time months ago with the first version of shade-c evo. The API is very easy to use, it took me 5 minutes to convert my multitex shader to evo format.

A water shader without transparency would be also no problem. But if the water shall be transparent it'S quite complicated. I didn't test it yet, but I guess the current 1-layer transparency is not enough. Hope the final version comes with more transparency layers.

yes I see it's well organized. what I don't know how fast it works in case of large open terrains with many static and many dynamic/animated entities. I could take out and modify from old shade-c packages what I need to get a fast system, but there are some limitations...
water: I think one layer transparency can do the job as a refraction view, and its coverage over mirror view is only modified by the water depth.

This is what I will test upcoming week. But there's missing some LoD techniques in EVO that need to be implemented.

final testing goes well of MapBuilder 2.3, I just have to check all the example maps in all shadow modes and resave them to be updated, then ready. maybe I'll have time to add game examples too within the editor package for easier usage...

Looks very nice
