Screenshots taken from the Player.
Here (http://www.parva-project.de/stuff/ts/beta/sky.zip) you can download the skylight which consist of 19 spotlights (those of you which used the plugin lightman.tsx to create arrays of lights know what I mean - now with tS7 you don't need this plugin because you can make it in the LE) to create a domelight-like lighting.
In fact of this many lights with shadows and that there is nothing precomputed, all realtime, it's slow so I recommend a fast GPU ;) |

Very Nice parva, thanks! Looks like you had to pull more than a few strings
to make this.:)
Just because I'm the curious type, I tried to push it to the limit so I set map
size to 2048 and it errored out, but only with 4 of the 19 lights... amazing.
But it works at 1024 and the player speed is a little slower than Modeler. |

hehe, I could just use 2 lights with 2048 shadow map size.
I made the shots with low shadow map size (32 or alike depends on the object) and low bias (16 - 32).
It was just a for fun test. It pushes the GPU to much to the limit and isn't for fast realtime response. But I think we will see somekind of skylight in the future.
Cascaded shadow maps or maybe something special... don't know, but something which create more realistic environment lighting as this pure ambient light and 3 to 5 shadow casting spotlights. |

- öffne den Library Stack
- dann einmal rechts klicken ins Feld Primitives/Lights
- hier "import object" und schwupps ist's drin
- nun einfach das Skylight in den LE ziehen und fertig |

Thanky Parva, this helps.
Irgendwie schade das es keine Anleitungen der Fähigkeiten den Players in Deutsch gibt, ich nutze wenn überhaupt, nur 20 % von TS7.
Der standart Modelingmodus entspricht ja komplett den TS Vorgänger Versionen aber der Player ist für mich ein Buch mit 7 siegeln.
Kann man damit auch modeln ? |

Jo man kann im Player auch modeln.
Rechtsklicken auf das Object, aber nicht wirklich brauchbar zur Zeit weil zu viel fehlt. Der Player ist momentan echt nur ein "Spielzeug" :D |

Yes okay and this is what i already thought about it.
Okay we will wait for the next Truespace upgrade and hope to get more stuff in the player modus. |

Jo one can in the Player also modeln. Right-click on the Object, but not really usefully at present because is missing too much. The Player is momentarily genuinly only a "toy" |

I don't know what else is being said but the initial pictures are an excellent example of the power of the player. I'm pullin for 7.1 myself but wow that was some great realtime work.

@romasb !
Yes sometimes it should be usefull to known more than one language ;)
the talk in german wasn´t negative, just a simple question to parva if it is possible to model in the Player.
I can edit splines on a object in the player mod and would like to use it too in the modeler.
And why we don´t get the support from the player-directX modus with pixelshader, glow or shadow effects in the modeler view ? |

To do that would mean actually updating/adding-to the modeler side of things, which they aren't going to do. The modeler is only there because they haven't put all the tools into the player yet. |

Sweet, are you going to put it into any space/space hanger scenes? I'm looking forward to this one.
