I can't thank you enough for this work.

Plus I find that for a detailed skydome with stars, gradients, etc, to look good at 1280x1024, the actual texture needs to be ...

I'm thinking use a vertex shader for the deformation, and a pixel shader with sliding alpha texture to create 'holes' in the wall. I've never personally used a VS for deformation before. I've only seen the results. You may not even need to slide the texture. If you applied a static alpha 'rip' textu...

Nobody wants to learn a homegrown pseudolanguage that they'll never ever, ever use again, and it's just...

I just solved a zbuffer / render order issue I had with two EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL meshes. The parent node is a spherical planet while the child node is a slightly larger spherical atmosphere. At some angles there would be pixel zfighting, at other angles the inner planet would not render at ...
