Dynamic Lighting in Source

[MrOpenGamer]

Whoever made this video needs to go fucking kill themselves. Stupid cunt.

[MrBlockersPro]

Lol'd when the zombines started chasing you and you were like OH SHIT and then one took out a grenade and waved it in the air like a hippy and suicided.

[JLUFantasy]

its not. just env_projectedtexture

[superdvdman]

What kind of zombies are those? Wich mod and if needed, wich game will the type of zombies come in? :D

[leerman22]

@superdvdman please watch /watch?v=fEkWH8DB7b0

[zackhanscom]

nice bugged shadows after the :50 mark

[MrtwoVideoCards]

@zackhanscom

Technically not bugged. It's a combination of two planes meeting together at a single axis, in fact all lights that cast in an omni-directional base have this problem unless properly implemented in games. Though I'd have to remind you this video is well over 1 year old, and shows a pre-alpha version of this implementation. Way to be on the late train my friend.

@MrtwoVideoCards

Hah is that a pun? (Gordon Freeman arrives at City 17 on one of the last trains into the city)

[DRKOFRCE216]

thats what left 4 deads lights are like

[PowerFusionX]

Parent this to a tank train, and target it to the center of the map and make the tank train go around the map in a circle. Giving the illusion of a day/night cycle. =)

[MrtwoVideoCards]

@PowerFusionX

Sadly the FarZ can't handle a distance like that optimally. New games Like Alien Swarm however can!

[PowerFusionX]

@MrtwoVideoCards That's cause Alien Swarm runs off the Source Engine 2010. =D!

Do this in Alien Swarm. :3

[MrtwoVideoCards]

@PowerFusionX

It's already been done. You can check a few threads about it on Interlopers.And of course I know AS runs on a newer version of Source. Though I wouldn't call it 2010.

[legolasisahobbo]

@PowerFusionX arent all games on source 2009 now couldn't it work on that

[chrisxdeboy]

How'd you go about doing this?

[suckmysilencer747]

1:10 HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

[ggova]

@suckmysilencer747 Ha Ha, funny moment

[adood101]

Will you be releasing this open sourced at all?

I need a dynamic omnidirectional light in my mod.

[MoskowFreak1111]

to bad no real-time reflections/radiosity

[Johanop]

Is this deatmatch or singelplayer? cus when i try to add zombies my map just broke

[mantax55]

Can a light, like the 'sun' give off dynamic shows?

[BeachpartyClan]

thats a lot of shadow glitching....

[AdudenamedKemp]

You must have a damn fast computer.

[Doghoundwikiti]

Mmmmm. Man how do you make env_textureprojection and flashlight at same time? If i try to do this in ep2, my flashlight get fucked and it projectz the env_textureprojection shadows :V

[sk8ingeveryday]

What Ent did you use? env_projectedtexture right?

[awettowel]

Wow, how long did that take to compile?

[MrtwoVideoCards]

10 seconds.

-Final

-Both

-Staticproppolys

-StaticPropIndicies

-8 Threads on VBSP and VRAD

[KooKas2oo8]

@awettowel That's the glory of dynamic shadows .. if we can get lighting to a stage where it is fully realtime, then there will be no more use for VRAD...

[youre0mother]

how to?shadow control?

[TheBazzPounderz]

buggy shadows

[MrtwoVideoCards]

You're Buggy!

[idesignandcreate]

You guys are genius at source, C17 will be awesome!

[TheGhostsprite]

i dont get it plz reply

[VRCkid11]

how to u make the ammo crates i need help

[depholade]

I need to know this to :\

[VRCkid11]

go to item_ammocrate finally figered it out

[xy274]

howed u make spawn points

[t3hh0r53]

very cool video. nice to see the lighting exposed like this.

[atomicsparkmachinima]

Are you using light_dynamic? And is this part of the source engine or have you implemented this yourselfs?

[HamishM150]

This is part of the source engine, it's the env_projectedtexture entity. As far as I can see he's using multiple entities stitched together to give the idea of an omni-light, but I may be wrong.

[JasperTheDoxie]

Does anyone know how to get portal objects and textures into my Garry's Mod levels?

[Snipaaz]

can you make a tutorial?

[dissforlife]

this is beautiful lol

[yoyoboy70]

did you make this using env_projectedtexture and if so how did you get rid of normal shadows.

[yoyoboy70]

did you make a mod or just do this with hammer

[DaManWitDaPower]

how did u amke the ammo crates?

[erikouwehand]

OMG! cool!

[mbertovich]

The Source Engine really needs to use shadowing like this in their games especially in Left 4 Dead. I still don't understand why they don't look into it the shadows look great.

[MrtwoVideoCards]

Actually L4D uses a system thats much better than ours (sadly). Aside that though it still isn't yet fully dynamic though yet.

[Kaszas2000]

That lighting would look good with real-time global illumination (radiosity). Would it be possible in SOURCE engine?

[erikouwehand]

they have only dynamic shadows in l4d not lights!

[ENDORPHINSAM]

@MrtwoVideoCards Actualy it has finaly become fully dynamic! :D

[LordEzerith]

@MrtwoVideoCards It is now :3

[GiveMeBass93]

@mbertovich Laggy, Buggy and easy to crash :3

[Zero2562130]

@mbertovich Valf iz stupodf

[supergamer1221]

@mbertovich Because Source can handle only one dynamic light at a time...

Oops I just responded to a 3 year old comment :P

[SFAriel5]

Wow i was just reading l4d topics and look what link ive found? And look WHO ive found! :D

Hey, hope u remember me.

[MrtwoVideoCards]

Hey Ariel! Haven't talked to you in quite a while man.

[FPsupertoaster]

Does this work on light_env?

if so please make a simple map with a jungle tree prop hehe

[hymlok005]

As a current developer of a Sourcemod, I adore this! I mean, it looks absolutely amazing! So, is this new dynamic shadowing more optimized than the EP2 flashlight defaults? Because, those lag on lower end computers. But, still, this looks awesome. :)

Also, I don't mean to rush, but when shall this be finished? I've been looking for some new shadow shaders for a rather long time. Is it going to be public? Because I would LOVE to have this in my modification! It's just... beautiful! haha

[MrtwoVideoCards]

Indeed it will, hopefully we can get it finished this December.

[crazyhugs]

really , wat is it called?

[MrtwoVideoCards]

The mod? If so it's City17 Episode 1

[2sauber2]

That amazing.

[Hex72]

I really like the dynamic lighting system they've included in the new source engine. They'll run smoothly as a penis once I build my new machine. Nice vid. :)

[2sauber2]

Dude. he's working on the dynamic lighting system.

[Hex72]

I know, and he's done a pretty cool job, but there is dynamic lighting programmed into the HL2:Ep2 engine. I was commenting on how I liked that tooooo! :)

[2sauber2]

Lol, Yeah he is. I forgot that about ep2 :P.

[MrtwoVideoCards]

Indeed there is, we're just playing around with it, and seeing what we can add.

[superdinoman]

looks neat, but the shadows are kinda stretched looking.

[MrtwoVideoCards]

That's a result of us using the Wrong projected texture. Should be fixed in a final Release.

[erikouwehand]

really nice, thats what i really wanted ! doom 3 has some good use of lighting, i want to do the same with half life 2

[ma1kas]

OH MY GOD THIS IS ORGASMIC please release it soon also please enable those shadows on dw8 mode becouse games like fear doom 3 fab;e the lost chapters have them

[ma1kas]

oh my god this is orgasmic kee pworking on it

also will this work on dx8 please,id like t osee those great ighting effects on source.

do not say something like they are not suportive for old video cards becouse games like f.e.a.r. and doom 3 has dinamic shadows

[radomaj]

I hope it gets released soon! But I shouldn't rush you. Take your time, Gear.

[MrtwoVideoCards]

Oh hey Radomaj! Thanks man
