Author Topic: Roblox - New dynamic lighting (Read 7560 times)

So Roblox has released some videos of the current features they are working on such as new water, high res brick textures, and my favorite, lighting. I would just like to show you guys what the new features will look like.

These new features make Roblox look pretty amazing. I am not sure how they will accomplish this, last time I checked, Roblox has frame limiters that keep your PC locked at 59FPS max. In one of the videos, the guy says that with all of the shaders running in real time he is getting over 30FPS. What do you guys think?
You can go to http://www.youtube.com/user/roblox to see more of the features they are adding.

And somehow they manage to design the worst shadow & basic light reflection shaders ever.

top video looks really laggy, and it's an official video so that's pretty lol.

They probably did this to compete with us.

What do i think?

I think the roblox guy is lying and that this is in reality, 10 FPS.

Actually, probably lower, I know my FPS stuff because I've dealt with low FPS during my time.

This update will make Roblox at least twice as slow as it already is.

lol he says "crossroads" and explains it like its awesome roblox history.

in blockland standards we would all rate it a solid 2/10 for time and effort. as its just terrible regarding skill or aesthetics.

Bisjac · July 20, 2012, 06:44:44 PM
