The next version of GameGuru Loader will include realtime spot light shadows, i still consider this a beta and need your feedback so we can fix any issues you might have. To enable it set "useSpotLightShadows = 1".

It also include a improved PBR probe shader, bug fixes, and support for the latest GameGuru PBR media packs.

Sorry about the voice over in the video, i had to record it after the video was made.

Improved PBR probe shader:




Dynamic spot shadows:




Check the details, zoom in on the pictures:

Wow, that's some really good shadow work. Congrats! And those tools looks pretty much photorealistic!

While I'm coding solely in AppGameKit, tier 1, I do own GameGuru. It would be pretty awesome if I could replace the dated lightening with this.

How hard would it be to get those raw shaders, if I exported from GG to AppGameKit? Too much spaghetti code to untangle?

Also, does this nice stuff play along with the VR plugin? (It requires its own sync stuff with AGKVR.Render( ) which may cause trouble )

Looks awesome! But... where are these spot lights at? When I was working on my fps adventure game the only lights I found listed in the api were point lights and the single directional light of the sun.

Or are you saying you added spot lights to AppGameKit tier 1?

Thanks

Think you misunderstand this , everything above (video/screenshots) is running in AppGameKit TIER 1.

Only the level design is made in GamerGuru after that it run in Tier 1.

Yes the point light system and shadows is part of the Tier 1 GG Loader source code and was added to the included PBR shaders for use in AppGameKit

That's what I was thinking it must be something you made. It just seems strange to me why something like this wouldn't be included right in the AppGameKit engine so all AppGameKit users can take advantage of it and produce nicer looking games. Hopefully it will be added natively at some point.

Thanks for the fast reply! Your spot light system looks great.

basicFanatic: Ups missed your question

Yes this will work with the VR plugin , you will need to make some small changes.

smallg made a description here about how to get it to work with the VR DLC:

Also checkout some of the videos smallg made while testing this:
