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

[Awdax]

adsfasdcigaretteaf i want this now

is compatibility with non-default bricks done? It would be nice if we could submit non-"default bricks only" builds for visual testing.

Yes. Any DTS Shape will render a shadow. I suppose this will also make vehicle making easier for Add-On producers since they won't need to do the shadows themselves, unless they want people with the shaders disabled to see it.

I bet they will make it so they will see if even if they turn it off.

or make it as an easter egg

imagine a car that has a normal shadow but then materializes into a flip-off without shaders

[Isjix]

I'm anxious for some more pictures. lol

Not this topic in a nutshell.

[Mr.Noßody]

Will the awkward lighting be resolved with this as well?
Will prints still glow?
Is there going to be a "Terrain Brick Pack" to emulate terrain without upping the brick count?

Damn, so many questions.
Oh wait, some of these were already answered.

[Jubel]

And so many answered ones.

[Mr.Noßody]

Yeah yeah, I got it.
Damn your ninja.

After this update I will never have to see that horrid "Unstable" brick error again will I!

May it rest in peace... ?

Here's a try at the fanart

v0002 Bedroom, nostalgiaaaa.

Also this means maps will take a hell of a lot less space, which is always a good thing.

Speaking of space, even in RTB 1.045 one of the most popular maps was Celestial Dreams. It wasn't exactly Slate, but it was just a bunch of floating baseplates. IMO, that's like a lower-tier version of a flat map.

Also, Digital Designer was quite popular, same idea there.

Adressing this to Kompressor,

Is this officially v21 or an update with the launcher?

All updates are updates with the launcher. -- kompressor
