[Don't Design Libraries Like This]

You should use Graphics Magick. Same calls, better performance. http://www.graphicsmagick.org/

[Beta update available]

I had a bug once in GLSL where I forgot to initialize a float variable in a shader. Nvidia set the value to 0. AMD had the value assigned to a random number, so I had some weird color flickering bug on AMD but my code rendered fine on Nvidia.

 

Nvidia is defiantly the better GPU to buy, although for developers, test on all platforms.

[Beta update available]

Interesting to note that System::Print accepts C strings.

[Building Turret AI: Part 2]

That's a nice turret, but I think it would be better if it looked more like this: http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-model-sentry-gun/814754

[Designing the Leadwerks Hoodie]

Will these be available for purchase as well? I need a new jacket for my trip to England in late June.

[Relocation]

If I had a choice to live somewhere in the US, I would not choose San Fransisco, too expensive for living, and $100k a year is still living poor there.

 

I would probably choose a university town. Somewhere like Spokane. I personally like trees, and there is little chance of drought up there.

 

California is overly priced IMO. San Diego is a nice city to visit IMO. But not to live.

[Very Low-Level Advancements]

Does this mean that Linux and Windows versions of LE will soon be on the same level?

 

Isn't the linux version stuck around 3.0 or somewhere around there?

[The Financials of Custom Content]

You could look at cheaper modeling options.

 

I'm guessing you went through a 3d model "shop" that does freelance 3d modeling for a rate probably around 60-120 an hour?

 

I would look towards Fiverr as an alternative choice. $3k for a model is kind of pricey considering what you could do to just pay 3d modeler to do it. It would require more management on your end. Probably a longer turn around as well.

 

The model does look very good though.

[PBR Lighting in Leadwerks]

How does this affect performance with scene rendering?

 

There's obviously more texture color lookups, a few more multiplication operations, and more memory used by the textures.

[Beta update available]

This has been an annoying issue in the editor. Glad it is getting resolved.

[Building a Steam Purchase Server]

If you ever run into any difficulties feel free to send me a message. Web development is about 70% of what I do for a living.

 

On the SSL cert. Make sure the CA that you buy from wasn't on the list rejected by Microsoft. http://www.pcworld.com/article/3017157/security/microsoft-move-to-revoke-trust-in-20-root-certificates-could-wreak-havoc-on-sites.html

[Vegetation Interaction]

If you can't resolve soemthing, even if we can use vegitation for grass and bushes that would be great.

[Vegetation Interaction]

How will the nav mesh work with this? Will it know to redirect around trees?

 

Is it possible to tie lua scripts to the trees as well? Say you wanted to use the vegitation system to add many player interactable objects.

 

When can we expect this in beta?

[Legos and Game Artwork]

I buy my models off of http://www.3dmodels-textures.com/. You might want to talk with them. Their work integrates with Leadwerks fairly well.

[Beefing up the Script Editor]

10/10 would script again!

[Vectronic: What Now?]

If you want to know bad graphics manufactureres, don't look towards AMD. Look towards Intel. Better yet, look at Intel on Linux. I don't think Intel even has an OpenGL 4.0 driver on Linux. Just OpenGL 3.1

[Development]

Kudos for your water. It is something I found difficult while trying to implement it in OpenGL.

 

Will we be allowed to use tesselation and geometry shaders to provide waves since your water won't be having any?
