Just in case you have too much framerate...

Sauer has almost, kinda, sorta, maybe, possibly gone a tiny bit next-gen:

If you'll note: no more sharp edges on the shadows, and they no longer clip geometry.

We're just a few tens of million of dollars of budget away from being a poor man's UT3.

Damn, Now I have to buy a new graphic card, Those screenshots really do make SauerBraten look like nextgen but a Geforce 6600GT...:(

Oh well keep us updated about this next-gen stuff, It looks cool.

6600GT and 28fps. Now I know what you meant with "expensive". =D

But nice, very nice!

Actually, performance is much better now.

Running at 1920x1200 on my 6600GT, I get 50 FPS on complex still with shadowmapping on.

FPS numbers are much higher if you don't have a 27" widescreen monitor and need insane resolutions just to stop from seeing 1" wide pixels. ;)

This is the funny thing, because I only develop on a 6600GT, Sauer's performance always seems to stay good on geforce 6 level hardware. Wonder why. :)

Ahh, so this is Shappowmapping instead of stencil shadows, right?
In other words alpha-mapped textures now also cast a correct shadow?

They could if I wanted them to, yes, although the model rendering doesn't have code yet to handle rendering only the alpha channel of a model's skin.

Is anyone else laughing to themselves about a real shadow coming from the bauul model? How old is the bauul now?

No real irony. Skilled artists who donate time to small open source projects are just rare. Usually they all want to work on their own projects, rather than work according to someone else's vision. Though, the same might be said about programmers...

Haha, good point. I wonder how sauer would look if you had a P III and an ATI Rage... =D =D

But damn those shadows... *faints, too*
