Jacky has much more important things to do than read the first post.

But I bet people keep asking over and over.

« on: February 11, 2012, 01:06:26 PM »Kom, could you move all the shadow+shader pics to the op so everyone can see them without having to dig through a 140+ page topic?
Not in this thread. Maybe in a later one.

« on: February 10, 2012, 12:48:19 AM »Will global lighting affect enclosed areas? Because I build a box, and it's usually still bright inside, as on the outside. Will the shadow system fix this?
Bricks will cast shadows.

I give it one thumb up. Not great for kids but OK for its niche.

Please don't post saves in this thread. I will open a new thread for shadow-oriented saves later.

« on: February 08, 2012, 03:01:25 PM »are you releasing it that soon that you keep telling us to wait? or do you just not want to reveal anything when it's released so that we're more surprised?
No comment.

« on: February 08, 2012, 02:49:11 PM »What's the difference between shadows and shaders?
Shaders are a technique for telling the GPU how to draw stuff.
Shadows are... shadows, they make stuff that lights don't shine on darker.
You can use shaders to implement shadows (but it is possible to implement shadows without shaders).
If you've noticed the specular on the blocks, that is an example of a non-shadow shader effect.
I'm sure in time we'll add a lot more neat stuff. Right now we just want to get shadows solid and ship an update that works for everyone!

BTW this thread is NOT about discussing interior file formats/how they were made etc.
So consider that off topic.

« on: February 08, 2012, 12:21:16 PM »Aww shucks. I forgot that one major detail. The interiors are made in Torque Constructor aren't they? In that case I have no need for the files.
Right.
