Damn I just noticed that #define BONES seems to break the shadows of animated entities (it shows them as they were not animated). So there is choice to make; more fps and somewhat lame shadows or worse fps and 'animated' shadows. I quess that is why the fps gain was pretty high and why your fps went higher when you disabled sun shadows.

, have you set it like this
#define BONES //enable gpu support
in the right .fx file? Also what kind of gpu do you have? (dont know if that matters) Might also has to do with how complex your models' bones setups are.

Yes I set #define BONES on the fx file that uses the character's material. I'm thinking about using a lower poly variant of the model for the shadows to get more performance, like you can do in engine shadows using shadow_lod, but not sure it that would be possible in shade-c.

, omg I did not know this feature, after adding it to the .fx files I now have twice as much fps in my project... blush


Hmm In my case it didn't make a difference.

I would bet it is a license issue. GPU bones animation is A8Pro only.

The shader that records depths from the light source has to animate the models too, so adding #define BONES to it could work.

Just a guess, I never used shadec laugh

(for others add #define BONES to sc_lights_shadowmap.fx found in shadec/fx folder. Note that is costs you a bit of fps but its still alot better than cpu bones)

I've been playing last days with shade-c EVO trying to get it working with gamestudio's multitexture terrain shader but got no luck. Tried setting forward rendering for it but didn't work. Has anyone got any sucess getting a multitexture terrain shader to work on shade-c evo?

Getting the gamestudio multiterrain shader to work with it would be nice as it's the one that GED uses so we could paint terrains using it.

Edit: would be cool if you look into this topic from time to time. Then we could collect all questions in here.

@painkiller
Also interested in terrain support. If i remember right we only had bad workarounds or using models instead frown

Well, in general I wouldn't consider 177 fps that fast. But yeah, nowadays gpu accelerated animations are a must.

For me 60fps in Fullscreen are more than ok.

edit:
Of course its not "that" fast. But its smooth looking. Since yesterday most of my acknex "Problems" are gone. For now, iam happy again. Powered all Settings up, added double amount of enemys, increased camera_far and and and...that with 100fps more.

Next Problem will be "ok" looking blood with shadeC evo. Already tryed some stuff, lets see how things are going.
