Is there a way to Level Shadec Bloom up to a level like urs?
I mena... ShadeC Bloom is so Ugly

Some demo will be there for sure, maybe doing an upload later or so. But first i'll check out wmb map support so i have this built in before releasing, for you to play around

@FEL: this would require rather big changes, sorry

but bloom is not everything, and I must admit that I usually over-use this effect and shouldn't care that much about it.
It's better to focus on gampley

Edit: @MQ32: interested in a demo aswell

Okay, i'll do one. But you will be disappointed i think. It just looks exactly like gamestudio, level blocks excluded (they render with 0.5 fps, why so ever)
And well, lots of stuff is missing (no visible debug panel or input console), only a default shader and nothing special at all

Do displacement and be quiet XD

pro tip: do not use displacement mapping!

ultra pro tip: Do use tesselation.


I'm SO sorry, but AckNext won't support any kind of level blocks. Gamestudio does some ultra advanced hackery internally and i coundn't figure out how the meshes are built and how they are textured and so on. But you can convert your levels to mdl7 and be happy:

uber pro tip: Having good displacement in a game needs a shitload of work to keep the quality high and consistent, which is hard for indie devs, even experienced ones. Also Acknex isn't famouse for it's fast rendering.

That's what I meant but I was too lazy to write everything down.

And by the way, pom with silhoulette correction is still faster, esp. for high frequency detail ;(

Edit: ...not trying to be offensive or anything.
Oh and my grumpy attitude doesn't mean that I wouldn't be pleased to to see tesselation working in A8.

@MasterQ32: I think no blocks is no problem. by the way, in $$m files generated on wmb building from wmp, thare are some info about their data.

Yeah i know the $$m Files. But i think it's better NOT to support them as they are depracated. So only support for "modelled" WMB levels, should be enough to build great games...
Later i'm going to improve the shader/material system so gamestudio materials will "just" apply onto AckNext rendering

EDIT: First custom shader (hosted in the original gamestudio.fx file):
