I think Half Life 2 looked a lot nicer than Doom 3, artistically wise, Doom 3 used more shaders right?
Good level design doesnt neccessarrily mean has to be all shaders as well.
I used your level demo Matt, it looks great but the shaders slow it right down, do you think Gamestudio is not great for shader used that much? Ok my pc is ageing a but these days but Doom 3 was ok frame rate.
That surely says something about the gamestusdio engine as it stands is sketchy for too many shaders.
I will probably use your plugin when I update my pc but I like levels that will have good frame rates on a good range of computers.
In real life, our eye focuses on particular areas of interest, and the rest is blurred. So in real life, we dont see 'shaders' everywhere only what we focus in on.
Wit Gamestudio thats what I find works best, a lot of careful non shader bits and the main 'hero' parts using shaders....
