Irrlicht Engine

Hi.
I implemented PSSM from nadro's irrCg example to XEffect.
I added PCF,VSM,alpha transparent(no only casting like normal xeffect but also with receiving) and texture support.
In a short time I will upload source.

Screen shots (palm generated with tree[d])




New hard shadows


Uploaded with ImageShack.us
(This is directional light. Light works at about 4 000 x 4 000 size of world )
It also works with xeffect post-process effect's.

Special thanks to nadro and devsh

Sorry for my bad english because i'm using google translate

Hey cool! Nice to see people still improving XEffects

Do you have a link to a demo/source or something?

Cheers,

I'm trying to add harder shadow's.
I think that today I will upload full source code and simple demo
BTW.I write simple post-process fog using depth pass.

This is really excellent, good working!

I tried to make PSSM long time ago, if I can check out your sources I might even get it to work

ps. does it work with hlsl (DirectX) ?

I added download url in main post (red text).

I don't know why it's only works with OpenGL(shaders are in CG).

PS. In 15/30 minutes i'll upload new version with small demo with possibility change the perfomance
PS.2 Is there somebody here who has low poly castle model?

Ładnie!

Agreed, the hard shadows look really good(only need a better ground texture )

Looks great! Any chance of making this work with latest Irrlicht 1.8 build which has IrrCg added in?

is this dual paraboloid mapping ? anywya i find tree[d] a bit obscure

Best of all tree[d] is free to use, and you can include the trees you make in your own projects, commercial or free, as long as they are not model packs, texture packs, 3D model generators, or texture generators.

Especially regarding "3D model generators" and "texture generators". What if a game engine is generating a mesh (I.E. terrain or particles) or a texture (I.E building mipmaps)? O_O

Tree[d] IS obscure... I find it quite impossible to use, ngplant is better, but just as weird and speedtree costs a million
Oh and there's still Arbaro, but I think that just wants to kill its users

It 's the thing I dream of..... ,I 've learned some basics shadowmaps knowledge but it's so hard to me to understand PSSM clearly and do it on Irr(though I 've downloaded many examples )

Heheh - maybe today i'll send to irrlicht forum something that i'm creating now - beautyInRender .
With beautyInRender you can render your scene with:
-deffered rendering
-shadows(PSVSM)
-post processing(Motion Blur(done),Depth of Field,Bloom,Blur etc.(Work in progress)
