not sure if point lights would be worth the expense, but can't hurt to try.

also, shadow maps? so not making volumes? that is somewhat disappointing, because that could be used to make cool volumetric effects in the nebula.

Nice shadows. If we're going to try and add shadows to point lights, what about tube lights?

wtf why didn't i look in here right after i got back home this weekend what is this i don't even hnnnnng

Also how in the world do we keep getting people like Valathil who come out of nowhere and add multiple amazing things to the engine.  It's like the SCP puts out some sort of siren call.

Oh yes.  This community has some very awesome mods, and these awesome mods are probably what gets people's attention. :)

BTW is the "depth fail shadow mapping" that Valathil's talking about Creative's patented volume shadowing technique or is it something totally different?

1. Shadow mapping is not shadow volumes.
2. Software patents are stupid and evil.
