I'll be out of a job! Not that I, or anyone else for that matter, is probably complaining.

I tried the latest version of the shadows-enabled exe and I have to say that this addition gave a whole new perspective on SCP. I tried it on FS1Port also and the results were exceptional!!!

Ok, i might have an fps drop when i turn towards a cap ship (maybe i should chk again my starting settings), but the eyecandy... the shadow... OMFG!!!

Absolutely Great Work Bobboau, sometimes I wish I could do at least half of what you guys do on SCP...

Btw, whould it be possible to turn shadows on and off from the launcher when they are fully implemented on an official -forgive me if  i used the wrong word- release? (just a thought)

well, you need to make SPIRE 2.0 or something.. go one better.

Yeah, be cheeky - hack it into the Unreal 3.0 engine and sit back - knowing your engine is DX9 compliant *coughs*...

i'd love to see that.


actually, it'd be cool if somebody made some ultra high-res textures for use in renders.

Hey, that's almost the acronym...

Setekh's Personal Intuitive Render Engine.

I forget what the old one was. Something to do with shadows, I think...then it became spirit or something.

Is anyone else noticing the funky swirly colors in the shadows where there normally would be a shine? (Is this fixed in the 3rd build) Can we make it so shine is not applied to shadowed areas? (This should fix that problem) Oh and does the third build include Taylors memory leak fix?

I can only say the shadows are great. It's almost playable.

I heard of many Nvidia shadow technologies, like "Shadow Buffers" and "Ultra Shadow".

Is there any way these features could prove useful ?

[Taristin]

Don't bet on him doing it. he has a high end ATi card. Look for ATi features.

[DaBrain]

Oh that's bad... Nvidia powers my machine ...

[Taristin]

Well, I have an nForce machine too, but I still went the ATi route.

[Bobboau]

I hae an nForce mobo, but an ATI card (Radeon 9800 pro 128, and yes that makes me better than you )

[Flipside]

That's why we got truform Pity really, since I own an NVidia too

[DaBrain]

But Bob what if ... uhm ... well ... you win a Geforce? You should really go for the shadow buffer thing.
