SetAFilter(16) makes things look good by removing the square pixelized garbage.

It's when you click on your name on the top right corner, and choose "Manage Blogs". If you don't have that option, then you probably need to be a registered user, which gives you also tons of other benefits, like market place, lots of free assets and tools, etc....

I don't think "cutting" holes are possible hsing the traditional height-map method in Leadwerks.
It has been possible to cut holes in terrains since years in LE2
-
But Josh just said that 3 weeks will be probably enough time to buy LE2, and get the cheap upgrade to LE3. So LE3 might be released even earlier than 3 weeks.
-
Intensity is just a fake setting which only multiplies the actual colors, so if you have colors of 240 or higher and then use a intensity of higher than 1, it will only overburn the colors making them all gray and white. There is never a need for anything else than intensity 1.0, because you can adjust the colors yourself much more elegantly.

LE3 is only under bugfixing now, should be soon out
I am also bugfixing things now, so things will work well together with LE3 when it comes out. -
Yeah, according to the majority of the responses the biggest demand was to keep the ads, but have them flow in a non-intrusive way. And an own area for them is the only right decision. I think the community is happy now again
-
Yeah but false+0.00001 is already better than true, because it would be more than 50% of the democratic vote between false and true. So false and true are actually the same thing, since only a microscopic difference is needed to make either win.
-
In case of confusion, I always look up on Webster and use the definition which says "archaic". It means the origininal and best definition, since everything over time gets only worse and more distorted:

So rather means faster and more immediate. Sounds good to me!
I could have used also the world "instead", but it didn't sound melodically correct to me. It was too clinical.
-
It's not very smart to have multiple meanings for the same word, because it only costs more time and money for everyone to figure out what was meant. Each word must be have a unique meaning.
-
Yeah, that is a good solution, although I would have called "Promotion" rather "Market Place". Promotion means in Finland at least that you get a higher job position in your company, and it has nothing to do with selling 3D models.
"Market Place" has also a kind of medieval and roleplaying and game related touch to it, which makes it stand out from a name like "Commericials" or "Advertisements" in a positive way.

I noticed you have no keywords on your Arteria3D main page:
<meta name="keywords" content="" />
You should put there some keywords like Models, Leadwerks, Assets, Textures, Characters, Animations, Buildings, etc...
-
I told Arteria3D about my new SuperBasic forum, which has also dedicated Market Place area (see my sig). At least you can see model and game ads there, if Leadwerks doesn't want to allow ads.
-
I still don't think it has anything to do with the cube, but you should check why your knight is positioned where it is positioned. Maybe there is is a copy of the cube, since it's invisible as you said.
-
Yeah, it's possible even with LE2. Basically how it can be done is like this:
1) first have the car made with a few big physics blocks
2) when a big enough force impacts on the physics blocks, remove them and replace them with little physics blocks at each vertex of the mesh
3) let the deformation happen automatically with the impact force the original big block experienced
4) compose some seperatable parts like doors and wheel covers with the same little physics blocks, but connect them with fixed joints
-
Your cube was probably always at 0,0,0, and it actually never found the cube.
-
I agree, there should be no other ads than useful for game/app development with Leadwerks.
-
Yeah, and I found the Arteria3D lifetime offer, which has been very valuable for me. Then I also ordered some custom models from them. Why not just make an ads area, where everyone one go shopping, and the ads are not lost in the random off-topic threads. Leadwerks could even make money with the ads, like $1 per single ad posting, $100 for a one year ad license, etc....
And when people have finished a game made with Leadwerks, they can't either post about it in the forum, because it's a commercial product?
-
I wonder what's so bad about the ads. For me they are valuable resources when I need to buy some models for my games. If all forums would forbid ads, where would artists announce their latest works then? Nobody uses general forums, but only forums which are made for specific purposes.

Ramps work just fine, I think...

I think that will cause ifstream internally to break it again down to some default size, which might be worse than 16384 (even bigger sizes can be slower, especially if they don't share a common divisor with the cluster size).
-
You can't compare them directly, and when you use FILE* correctly, it is much faster than ifstream. I think ifstream has a default buffer size which is is bigger than 1, and if you use FILE* and read always 1 byte at a time, then your FILE* is slower. To get FILE* to maximum speed, you need to analyze the media's cluster size and adjust your buffer size to that. There are more things to consider also, like what the cluster size of the harddisk is and/or how the raid was setup.
But a good default would be 16384, if you don't do any further media analysis to optimize the buffer size. Indeed, if you ever have setup raid disks, most OS will suggest a strip size of 16384, because it comes closest to the average file size on a file server, and the strip size should never be smaller than the cluster size on the harddisk.
-
I have tested different ways to read files, to find out which method is the fastest. As a result, I was able to write a fastcopy.exe which was much faster than Windows' own copy command
-
The 0 is the offset from either beginning or end. Just set it to length/2 if you want half of the file from the beginning:
is.seekg (0, ios::end); // goto end of file
length = is.tellg(); // get length of file
is.seekg (length/2, ios::beg); // goto half of file
