Hey everyone! Time for a work blog! I meant to do this days ago, but kept getting invested in dev work and before I knew it, it was well into the early hours. And you know I like to type, so I kept having to put it off. So, what's been going on? Quite a bit of stuff, that's what! Roadmap Progress Ro...

So, if you've been in the discord, reading posts on here, or followed my workblog at all, you've no doubt seen a lot of talking about Physically Based Rendering. There's a lot of primers and explanations on what exactly that is, so I won't really go into the details of that here, but I do want to go...

marauder2k9 Cool, more test maps will definitely be handy.

@Timmy: I think once we get it functional, we need to have a test map to demo/test features and have a corner that's a 'confetti party' - aka a million bloody confetti particles flying everywhere at all times :P You know.....for testing. Also, did an update for the August milestone. Running a little...

It still works to just call Test::Func direction in the console, right?

Yeah, we'd noted the issue with the cube projection. It was deigned a bit lower priority due to how expensive that mode of pointlights is, so it's less often used, but we're definitely aware of it. Current suspicion is that it has something to do with depth precision. We want to do an inverse depth ...

One question... Will this version work on Window 10 when one loads into the world editor and clicks on the menu buttons? Last one had some serious crashing issues with that. One would load the game demo and it worked but as soon as one entered the World Editor it would crash the very minute one pus...

@Headclot Yeah, I think that'd be a good way to go about it. I was figuring we'd do like a rolling update at the conclusion of each month, but it'd probably feel a little more dynamic to go with the immediate updates. @Code_Man: Big bits would be Physically Based Rendering(PBR) and subsequent likely...

Ah, yeah, I've seen some similar techniques before. That one does look to produce some pretty nice results. Main thing for the horizon/hemisphere sampling techniques is they can be a little expensive but if works in PoE it's probably pretty efficient.

Good find

Yep, that's correct, me and Lukas talked about it briefly in the discord, but it'll definitely be much easier for people to help out if the expected tasks are more narrow focused. So we were talking about breaking down responsibility into various groups, and give 'em a fancy name. Examples of what w...
