Can you take a screenshot with more rough surfaces?

NO! 

[Voxel Cone Step Tracing]

Yes, so I can see what is going on more clearly. Normally I expect the effect to be a lot more subtle.

overexposure

Yeah, it's actually caused by the second bounce affecting the original surface the light hit. Still working on it.

@Vida MarcellI don't know, but the code file size is about twice as big as Leadwerks.

I think your screenshots that are less saturated look the best. When the saturation is high everything looks like the same orange tint.

[Voxel raytracing]

Yes!

[VXRT WIP]

There are some issues to consider. At what point does the data go over to the GPU? Voxelization of polygons is very hard to go in the GPU rasterizer. If uncompressed voxel data is sent to the GPU, that is going to use a lot of memory bandwidth. What is the latency for such a system going to be, and how does that compare to sending final compressed texture data that was calculated on the CPU?

[Unpacking a model files]

I'm thinking a popup menu item when you right-click on the item in the tree view.

Allright, but then apart from the ui and vulkan, what will change?

PBR materials with voxel raytracing for reflections and GI
glTF support
Import / export plugins
C++ shared pointers
Box and strip lights added
Terrain with 256 different materials
Better Lua debugging with VSCode
C# programming support
Game state serialization for networking and game saves
Entity component system
and MUCH faster performance

[Loading a Quake model and converting to glTF]

I use Newton Dynamics.

I do not plan on adding those features in the 1.0 release but they could be added with an editor extension.

Does it save the animations as well ?

Not yet!

[Asset Editor with model]

I changed the interface up and added a hierarchy tree on the left. This lets you select a limb of a model, but it also lists embedded materials and textures. If you select a texture in the treeview, it will display that texture in the 3D viewport, and the properties dialog would change to show options for a texture.

The tabs also allow multiple files to be opened at once.

[Asset Editor with model]

The babylonjs glTF viewer actually has a pretty good layout that manages to pack all this into one window. Maybe I will base some ideas on that.

The right panel doesn't seem to make sense with models unless it's talking about the texture that's being used on the model? It would actually be nice to be able to view/edit an assets model, material and texture without changing windows. Being the engine loads gltf, I think it would be the only way.

Regarding the first part of what you said, yes, I have not added the controls for model properties yet.

When it comes to modifying materials and textures that are packed into a model file, like in glTF and some other models (Quake and HL)...this is where things gets sort of complicated. I am still thinking about how this should be handled. Right now I have a single asset editor window, which does a nice job of keeping things clean. I thought about adding tabs to it, to keep multiple files open, but it did not look very good. I will have to think about this...

It's a custom widget made with UAK.

Do you plan an model export tool ? Maybe with textures exporting ? That would be top

Yes, the plugin system supports this.

There is a configuration to switch to just one rendering viewport ? instead of 4

There will be.

[Real-time Scripting in Editor]

My design is actually based on my observation of European washing machines. Simplicity is overrated. If the interface is not a little bit confusing at first glance, people will think iti is not very powerful.

[Real-time Scripting in Editor]

Yes, there is already a menu item that selects a script file and runs it.

I know it's an old image / post, but are you using a custom widget for displaying textures with a preview image?

Each thumbnail is a panel widget with a pixmap assigned to it.

Are those vpks I see? Able to access models and other resources therein?

That is the idea. It's all done with the plugin system, so any game can be supported.

Will the external Lua script editor be launched from the editor?

Yes, it will just launch whatever program normally opens a Lua file on your computer.

When I have done things like this in the past with the 3ds Max bend modifier, getting the edges to line up precisely was a major challenge. I had to copy and paste vertex positions on the end because the modifier seems to be very imprecise.
