Hey guys!!
Here is pixel shader example with new 3dstate 7.01 Alpha engine.
A possibilities are endless, you can even change environmental map without compiling (with NVidia's Cg language).
Enjoy!!
Here is a picture

what is that sample programmed in, if i may ask? (looks like one of the demos from the site, so i assume it's not pb, is it?)

benny, i'm just as confused as you
although if misterdr managed to do it in purebasic, kudos to him, if not yet, he now knows what we expect
...
ah, wait a sec, there is this small link hidden down there... downloading it now... again at 2k / sec
...
hmm... no source in there, just an executable that is in size different from the one i found on the 3dstate site, but in functionality appears to be the same...
misterdr, am i doing something wrong?

Hey blueznl ... nice detective work
maybe misterdr could share his
purebasic source with us.
will see ....
Heheh

Good eye
I didn't wrote link
Or maybe I didn't wrote to see how many people is interested in this engine
here is the link:

Why the larger 3dstate.pb ? more to define for the new engine ?
Are you thinking of making this into a 'proper' library ?
Great work!, I like the simplicity of the engine..... I hope when Fred gets to increase the built-in 3d functions they are as easy.....

well, this engine is definitely one of the candidates... i am not that impressed with ogre, but i am looking for something that's smart enough to do the shadows for me (so i don't have to bother myself)
$400 isn't much for a commercial license, it's a bit much for a first try though... well, i can always make up a nice story and release many different 'versions' hehehehe, ahum <shut up, bluez, you're giving away state secrets?
i have been busy writing some game concepts and making some graphics lately for commercial stuff, and i don't picture myself as a professional programmer...
yet... something like the 3dstate engine might be what i need to impress and convince some other people (read: those with money
) that i'm pretty much dead serious about things...
gonna' have a look at your code, misterdr, did you rewrite their c(++) sample in purebasic?
...
definitely interesting, i'm a bit unhappy with the pricing for a full package though... 400 isn't too bad, but a few times that to get all the tools is getting a bit more worrysome...
...
hmm... have you tried to animate anything? the few samples they included were not that impressive
...
oh, a remark on your code, don't check everytime if a function exists (in the dll), that'll cause severe slowdowns... find the address and use callfunctionfast, that's a lot faster

I think the little text in the corner is OK to put up with for development... and once you have a game you can buy the $399 commercial version for the game.....
As I said before, if you're not expecting to make > $399 then why are you bothering ?!
I wan't a 3Dstate library

why a lib? doesn't look too bad without one, properly documented examples i'd even like better!
but if it does shadows, i might do something with it... hmm...

As far as I can see, all lights and shadows are pre rendered and baked into the textures. There is no sign of realtime shadows.

in this sample, yes... unfortunately, their webiste is not conclusive enough....
there's must be some affordable engine out there somewhere that can do it... i'm eyeing irrlicht more and more, looks like it can do it, but whoho, it's definitely beyound my (current, stay positive
) level of programming...

Looks very impressive!
