[Multiple Shadows]

I'm not doing much 3D work at the moment, but all of this development is getting me really excited for when I return.

[What Makes a Good Brand Name?]

I think the name and the logo is....

 

[What Makes a Good Brand Name?]

TGE = Torque Game Engine =(.

[Shader Enhancements in Leadwerks 4.4]

Those scenes are looking fantastic. Great to see these shaders are pushed with the engine.

[Forum Update]

I really like the new design, looks more professional, documentation is looking great. I wouldn't be surprised if you get a boost in sales from this.

 The only issue I can see is your profile picture border in the top RHS next to your user name is stretched. Also the header and menu in the docs appear on a different alignment to the rest.

[Leadwerks Winter Games Tournament 2016]

If you added leaderboard support, it would be a game.

 

 

TJHeldna has also promised a picture of a Koala bear modeling the hoodie.

 

Tranquilizer first anybody?

 

[Beta update available]

Looks like it's working again now thanks!

[Beta update available]

Since the update my C++ projects no longer work creating a window....

 

 

 

Window *window = Window::Create(windowName, 0, 0, windowWidth, windowHeight, windowFlags);

 

//Create a context

context = Context::Create(window);

 

 

Context *con = Context::GetCurrent(); // Run Debuging... context->window unable to read memory

 

Window *win = con->GetWindow() // <- Returns NULL

[Leadwerks 4.1 Beta]

Seem to be having issues with the volume light and having water mode on. screen goes all bright and weird. Apart from that looks real nice!

[Starting a business]

Good luck and hope it works out for you. I agree with the others i'd just work out a business name and a logo to brand what your working on (That's what we did anyway). I'd be more inclined to use social media, greenlight and indieDB for advertising, even then don't expect much.

 

I use Gamemaker for 2D and you will be surprised how much more quickly you can get results in 2D. There is searchable examples for practically anything and 2D is super fun to create. The exports all work well but it does cost you some $$$, but I suppose if your starting a business you gotta spend money to make money. I think GM is on sale atm too.

[PBR Lighting in Leadwerks]

Great work here, looking forward to see how it progresses.

[Workshop Spam]

You haven't seen the last of the soda can.......mark my words........

[Workshop Spam]

That's a good point. My Steam account is quite valuable with all my purchases these days, I don't want to put that at risk.

[Workshop Spam]

No, I still believe my can was super popular! =)

 

Although I wasn't planing on putting anything in the workshop, that is unbelievably unfair that I'm banned for a day for this, I did nothing wrong. What about the accounts that spam... nothing?

[Workshop Spam]

Here's the email I received..

[Finished character model]

k, I'd think 2048x2048 is almost a minimum for a realistic style character these days.

[Finished character model]

How many polys/texture sizes is he out of interest?

[2016 Plans]

A lot of the functionality I was wanting was done this year which I'm grateful for.

 

I'm hoping for an OSX build, Substance Support, and hope we see the return of the Terrain Tessellation. Networking will be a real nice addition and looking forward to that.

[Intro to LE Post Processing Effects]

Well written and learned a lot from it, thanks. If you ever feel like expanding further it would always be appreciated.

[Vegetation Update]

Having a play with this new feature I'm blown away of how cool it is. Question. Will it be possible to set a min/max size for the layers to get even more variation in the future?

 

A possible improvement would be a min/max depth into the terrain. It would be cool for rocks and trees. I have tree models that would need to be moved lower in the modeling program, but having control in LE for that would be better.

 

Nice work Josh.

[Beta update available with deferred decals]

Only had a quick look before work and my first impressions of the decals are really good. Would have had more time but had a few shaders to update like Shadmars vegetation one, but that was quick enough to do.

 

Looking forward to looking at the particles with collision.

 

Thanks!

[Beta update available]

The Tessellation is fantastic Josh, it's made terrain editing fun again!

[Beta update available]

Hmm the character controller does not conform to the tessellation of the terrain.

[Reverting the Entity Script Field]

Same here, all script fields are blank.

[Small behavioral change]

Yes with the latest update I downloaded an hour or two ago, the map loads in code now. Thanks
