2012/02/05 - Shadows and Shaders vs. Interiors and Terrain [Fan Art Too]

[Flush535]

Kompressor, when this comes out I'm going to take a 9x MegaShotFactor DOF screenshot of the best build I can find with 32x CSAA and 16x Anisotropic filtering, then scale it down and crop it for a new advertisement. Blockland will sell like hotcakes. We'll be at ID 100,000 by the end of the year.

(I want a percentage.)

Yes.

They don't create shadows and they still pass through bricks currently
It's not JUST shadows! Learn to read!

The game can not progress any further, removing terrain and interiors will allow it to have more and better updates

Then I hope komp and badspot will make a replacement.

I said that in my post.

We will not. -- kompressor

In this picture the shadows go to the bottom right, but the stud textures indicate shadows should go to the bottom left.

Is this not important because the studs are textures and do not actually cast shadows or can this actually be fixed?
(I think studs are textures anyway)

[Kalphiter]

A neutral stud should probably be used.

[Socky]

wait aren't the studs on adjustable plate textures?

i would kill myself if adjustable plate died :(

Ok so i have a question
How come on a map like skylands can I only see 550 meters, while I can see well over 1000 on a terrian map?
Automatic draw distance is disabled.

This isn't a provocative post just a curious one

Draw distance is also in the map's settings I believe. For example on Plate I could see for virtual miles.

Don't know if this has been addressed, but will the possibility for a better day and night modification be possible with this update to the lighting engine and elimination of terrain maps?

It has been addressed. I think it is a possibility. -- kompressor

:D

Do plates make shadows too? I haven't seen any shadows on any of the plates in the images so far...

Everything makes shadows... more or less. -- kompressor

That specular junk is still burning my face off.

The New Image looks Sweet!

We will be tuning the look. But if you got it, flaunt it. At least for the beauty shots.
