i added a postbuild step with the lastest patch that cares about the file. it copies the file to the bin folder. haven't you added this part of patch?

You're right, I forgot apply changes to project file. I'll fix it in next commit

Just don't feed the trools, they will go away If everything works out fine, devsh will soon concentrate on his project thread, so please just keep the topic focused on the new driver and development. Thanks

The project files for Visual Studio Express 2010 don't include the sources needed for the DX11 driver compilation. I can manually add them, though, but it could be better if they were already included on the branch

Also, i have experimented and got satisfactory results creating the SPHERE_MAP shader, and the REFLECTION_MAP should come after soon enough. For the programmable pipelines could be a good idea that the users could replace the fixed pipeline shader with custom ones . That way, the whole looks of the engine could change according to the needs of the users

And got them working



Don't pay attention to the low FPS, it is due that it is compiled on Debug mode, on Release it reaches the expected speeds

[Granyte]

That looks pretty sweet is the transparent material blending bug also fixed?

[Mel]

Sadly no, i have only fixed the shaders. What is the transparent material problem?

[Granyte]

There was a conflict with the z sorting
