PSSM shadows

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

I am working on implementing Parallel Split Shadow Maps (PSSM), which is one of the most reasonable techniques to have good shadows in a open scene, I will update with screens once I have something looking good :)

COLLADA import dialog test

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Due to some weird C++ CLI and FCollada interaction I had to link the COLLADA import code as a DLL to the NytroStudio, so there will be a nimporter.dll around there. The import goes well, soon I will test out the skinned models too. The export generates .mesh files (binary data for the raw mesh), .model.xml files (definition of submesh-materials), and .material.xml files (textures,shader settings)

Final model inside NytroStudio
