shaders?
« on: 26 May 2010, 22:13:44 »
hi there, should we use shaders(and normal maps would be needed then) to make glest look more realistic? Shaders are simply waking the idea that an object has more polygones, because the texture will react differently on different directions of light. THe normalmaps are created simply by the gimp plugin u can download...

please tell me if u'd like this...

you are talking about OpenGL, DX11 is way faster, and my card supports it, that is the option in my favour

?? Thats completly offtopic! DirectX/OpenGL has nothing to do with this and I think Glest will hopefully never support DirectX because its Windows only.

Yes, at least mega glest won't support DirectX.

it has! dx, and opengl are coupled to a shader model. Like DX10 has model4.0 DX9 had 3.0 and 2.0 and DX11 has model5.0. I do not mean the shader processors within the GPU, but the shaders as meant as the thing that make light have influence on textures, with the use of normal maps...

oh and if u want to integrate it, i'd be happy to make all the normal maps!
