[Improved water, fixing refraction and invisible waterlines]

Thanks, I will uploaded it to the asset store for free, it's only small changes in the water.frag and one extra normalmap.

 

Added colortoning to the refraction, so you can basicly have any color to all the water. Clamped selfshadow to a maximum if waveamp is very high.

 

Here is a couple of indoor shots from the tunnels :

 

 

[What are you working on?]

Playing with water shaders

[Improved water, fixing refraction and invisible waterlines]

Added some more viscosity feel, foamish shoreline when waves are bigger and normal shadowing both on reflection and refraction.

 

I will also try real waves in the vertex shader Gerstner or just some sin waves. (have no idea how that will go, so don't excpect anything )

 

 

 

[Improved water, fixing refraction and invisible waterlines]

Not sure fixed would be the correct word, I think it looks more natural when the waterplane refracts the lakefloor and moves dynamicly with the waves. I thought might be a bug in the shader, but I'm not the one to answer that.

The original water shader only look transparent and doesn't refract at all.

 

EdIt: and yes I still working on it..

[Improved water, fixing refraction and invisible waterlines]

Hi

 

First thing i noticed about the water in LE is that the waterline is next to invisible and refraction was not there at all making it look kind of invisble at shallow waters.

I'm an old HLSL guy from 3impact/Rad/OddityEngine so I thought I'd take a crack at the opengl shaders in LE.

 

Here is a shot when refraction is fixed (based on wave height) and the invisble water when very shallow.

 

 

[What would be the simplest way to fetch lights from an scene ?]

Haha, thanks alot.

I just fetched the top most one (hence all the models), I get it now, thanks for the tutorial on entities

[What would be the simplest way to fetch lights from an scene ?]

Thanks, however they all show up as "Model" when using GetEntityKey and class on the tunnel.sbx scene

But by using "name" instead of class I can distinguish them :

atmosphere_1

[What would be the simplest way to fetch lights from an scene ?]

Thanks Aggror.

 

I only get Model and Terrain classes returned, no light when I test using that code.

I used

 

AppLog(tempEntity)

Just to print out all classes returned from the sbx.

[What would be the simplest way to fetch lights from an scene ?]

Hi

 

I found out that LoadScene doesn't fetch lights automagic for me and the old tutorial uses a ProcessScene which doesn't seem to apply anymore.

 

So if my C++ snip goes like this, how do I get the scene lights (without manually creating them and positioning them), Any tip would be appreciated, thanks.

 

//Create a world
world=CreateWorld();
if (!world) {
   MessageBoxA(0,"Error","Failed to create world.",0);
   goto exitapp;
}
//Create render buffers
TBuffer gbuffer=CreateBuffer(ScreenWidth,ScreenHeight,BUFFER_COLOR|BUFFER_DEPTH|BUFFER_NORMAL);
TBuffer lightbuffer=CreateBuffer(ScreenWidth,ScreenHeight,BUFFER_COLOR|BUFFER_DEPTH);
//Create a camera
cam=CreateCamera();
CreateListener(cam);

//Load the scene
TEntity scene=LoadScene("C:/Leadwerks Engine SDK/Maps/tunnels.sbx");

//how do I fetch lights from this scene ?
//

[Old tutorials and files from developer.leadwerks.com missing]

Hi

 

 

Any chance someone has the old hydro.sbx from the wiki CPP tutorial

http://www.leadwerks.com/files/Tutorials/CPP/Loading_A_Scene.pdf

 

And could it be re-uploaded to the asset store ?

[SciFi STRIKE TROOP from Arteria3d]

Looks great

[citygen for $29 normally $700 (dear to share)]

we’re offering the Ürban PAD Indie license, normally $700, for the exceptional price of $29.

Not recommending or anything, just wondering if anyone have experience with this product ?

Seems like a nice product.

Thanks!

This is really useful, work as a charm. I've tried this before, but never got the locking correctly.

I think this looks great : (NVIDIA demo)

 

[One Reason Why There Are Few Leadwerks Games, Maybe]

Did anyone do a pacman (with nice lighting/shadows) yet ?

[Some beginner questions]

Well I don't expect rad being able to produce same eyecandy as LE.

But for rad, great

You should also try the E300 plane F released as a plugin, very responsive and destructable on impact.

 

This thread is now very offtopic... sorry

[Engine CPU usage]

Just an observation, is this normal ?

The editor runs at 100% cpu consume from start.

 

Also this little script, ran from the scripteditor (which should do almost nothing) consumes 100% cpu

 

require("scripts/constants/engine_const")

--Register the abstract path 
RegisterAbstractPath("") 
--Set a graphics mode 
Graphics(800,600) 

while KeyDown(KEY_ESCAPE)==0 do

end 

[Camera movement crashes engine.exe]

works fine here =)

the camera just turns too fast and the controls are switched (a and s, w and d)

 

Yes it does here too, after closing the other 3d apps, wierd.

Local issue on my part I guess.

 

Thanks for the testing

Hi

 

I manage to crash engine.exe when moving camera. This is what I do (just copy paste into the lua editor)

Is this a local problem for me or ?

[Some beginner questions]

Looks great Mike

[Our entity system]

This is what I am used to from 3drad/3impact which is very easy (angelcode c-like syntax)

http://www.3drad.com/Script_reference.htm

 

Alltho I'm very new to LE, the LUA scripting of LE is very simple and easy to understand, even tho we might lack som docs.

turn, setposition, setscale, positionentity, copyentity... etc. straightforward and great.

[Some beginner questions]

hey shad... what're ya doin on this end of the universe... got bored with 3DRAD already?

 

you made some really nice stuff over there... the terrain editor was great... and i liked your infinite terain flythru demo...

 

i think you'll have some real fun over here... leadwerks has better graphics capabilities with less pain than the shader implementation you're used to with RAD...

 

 

 

--Mike

 

3dRad is still great, but physx-integration seems to be the main focus atm, after I got the hang of HLSL I'm more the shader and vertex type.. So I'm starting out fresh here, got myself a lua quadtree and playing around with vertices and LOD. I also might have a look at LE's GLSL shaders some time.

 

Infinite terrain is still on my todo, maybe in LE or 3impact. Too hard in 3drad since I can't displace vertices (except for displacing in the vertex shader via HLSL).

I must admit LE does shadows/lightning very easy/automagic, and the API is so far working out for me.

 

I've been snooping around the forum abit and I find your gameobjects to be a very interesting concept.

How's that sub game coming along by the way ?
