  1. Oh yeah, there's also Armadillo and ASProtect, and they won't require any changes to your code.
  2. The problem is actually that the light near and far ranges aren't set high enough to render the shadow. This can be set in the light properties dialog.
  3. I'm not sure what else you expect to see in that situation. It looks like that car is travellng about 100 MPH down a narrow dirt road.
  4. How does the iOS file system work? The standard C++ io functions compile just fine, but when I try to read a file it is always not found. Do I have to add files as resources in the Xcode project? I'd really prefer to store files in a real folder, not built into the project. Recompiling an app every time you add an art asset would be a pain.
  5. The Asset Store skin is going to display file thumbnails with transparency and no border. You can take advantage of this by making thumbnails of your items in .png format with alpha transparency. This will look especially good for 3D models. Here's an example: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/files/file/217-codeblocks-template-for-leadwerks-builder'>http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/files/file/217-codeblocks-template-for-leadwerks-builder Downsampled images will look best because it will antialias the alpha map. These will also show up on the category pages: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/files 3D models with alpha transparency will look similar to app icons in Apple's App Store, and look enticing to viewers.
  6. Move those tires inwards a bit to prevent problems. You can put the visual tire mesh wherever you want, but the physics tire should be inside the body.
  7. Seems like a perfect opportunity to use geometry shaders.
  8. There's a new evaluation kit coming this summer that will allow you to try more functionality out. We're waiting right now for ATI to fix a bug in their drivers.
  9. Those values are really high. Change lines 190-193 to this: local pivot local suspensionlength=0.2 local springconstant=20.0 local springdamper=150.0
  10. It's a lot more than that, he's got geometry adding to the surfaces, which is impressive.
  11. Leadwerks Engine 3 will actually allow you to reasonably make games with no programming at all, but the current version does not.
  12. They've added Blitz3D games on Steam, so I'm pretty sure it won't be a big issue.
  13. Your graphics card is not supported. However, it will work for Leadwerks Engine 3.
  14. What graphics card do you have?
  15. All the modeling programs pictured are supported because they all export .fbx or .dae files, and the Leadwerks Engine SDK includes a tool to convert .fbx and .dae files to the internal format used by the engine.
  16. No upgrade policy for 3D World Studio 6 has been announced.
  17. This is a bug in ATI's current drivers. We've reported the issue to them. They emailed me about a week ago and said they were working on it. I will follow up with them and see when the fix is coming: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/tracker/issue-165-terrain-textures-bug-radeon-hd-5850/
  18. Do you mind if I build this effect into the LE3 renderer? It could work for rain, too.
  19. The maximum world size is about the same as Crysis.
  20. There's a tentative list of features here. Please keep in mind some of these things have not been attempted yet, and the final spec may change: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/index.php?/page/le3 It works out to be cheaper overall if you buy LE2 and upgrade to LE3. No word on the upgrade price yet, but I will make it so the LE2 + upgrade costs less than a new LE3 license.
  21. That image was posted by me using the admin account. Of course the wheels in your model have nothing to do with the actual location of the tire ray cast, so make sure that is inside the physics body of the chassis. You posted another video showing vehicles with very high spring constants, causing them to jump all over. Those spring values are very important and vary based on mass and spring length. Adjust those values until you get something that is loose enough to not jump around, but tight enough to hold the chassis up. Beyond that, I suggest posting a demo so we can see the behavior for ourselves.

  24. Yes, it's not meant to be used multiple times with different resolution buffers or different settings. If you change settings it will have to recreate buffers twice each frame. Use regular plain rendering with just lighting, no shadows, for your low-res reflection passes.
