Leadwerks Engine 2.1 & Sandbox Overview

[Randoriify]

I have a ATI Radeon HD series 5700 graphics card VRAM 1Gb , 2.6GHZ AMD Anthlon x4, 4Gb RAM, Windows 7 64bit. Will leadwerks run close to the Demos you have made?

[Leadwerks]

@Randoriify Yes, your system has more than enough power.

[GH0STinTHEmistHD]

Does this work on mac

[Leadwerks]

@GH0STinTHEmistHD Our new game development software Leadwerks3D does work on Mac.

[Kidsownyou1]

200$?! I might settle for 75$ 105$ at best.

[DKM101]

@Kidsownyou1

it's not just a $200 map maker xD

[JVL60]

Impressive! :)

[1985woooman]

So like, what is this really. A game making software? I muted my sound so i didn't think you would have said anything important.

[isatche]

I could swear that first few rooms are from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or it's objects and materials. Do you have (had) some involvement in making or you are just a fan? :)

Great engine BTW

[Leadwerks]

@isatche I'm a big fan. That's why I made a really big fan in the level.

[PIPONIAXIS]

first of all, dude

[emshains]

Linux ?

[MultiJacob123]

when you model the mountin, how did you get a material to it?

[NunYahbisnas]

My COMPUTER CANT HANDEL THIS!!!1

[rekindledsoftware]

@NunYahbisnas Then you need to upgrade. I'm running Leadwerks 2.3 on a single-core 2Ghz with 50+ FPS

[Boxanadu]

can different game engines be used with this? such as the id tech range.

[WarIncorporated]

I am looking for an experienced team. With atleast a bit of experience in game development.I am looking for a CODER and a MODDLER and if i can an ANIMATOR THANKS! PM ME ABOUT IT

[Kamshak1337]

@WarIncorporated dude wtf? Dont start projects as creatative lead, it wont work. do it urself

[Fusionicon]

Was Leadworks written jogl? Just wondering.

[digimikeh]

does this engine is easy or hard to learn?... i have used unity, shiva... those are easy, now.. want to try leadwerks...

[ludsoe]

is there some glitches on the chain reaction the ball made some of the blocks flip out

[matthewcamz]

wow

[razoorsharp]

how are the tools.. i know i should still code the gameplay and such . bit is moving, start point? and world editing included .

I mean i make models and know some but little coding , enough to script a bit but in no way build ground up in c++.. so if i have a library of models, is it easy to copy and paste the world together in 3d? and maybe have a quick run through with no coding.. more like NWN2, Hero Engine, Esenthel Engine. ?? or is it still code intensive?i Mod a lot in NWN2. spoiled a bit

[Taktoniz]

uhh no it doesn't look like Crysis....

Leadwerks engine is a generic rendering engine at best.. it's nothing special.. at all..

[masterpiraka]

Does it need to be? It's a TOOL.

[masterpiraka]

Nothing's really too special about ANY rendering engines anyway. Except that experimetal one that doesnt calculate triangles.

[GordonFreeMANness]

@masterpiraka One? There are lots of those. Surfels, voxels, micropolygons... Pick whatever you want.

[KRIGSSV1N]

shut up you're right tho

[bigsnakedotcom]

Looks like crysis :)

[GordonFreeMANness]

@bigsnakedotcom Looks like STALKER.

[chrisybwell]

lol, I don't know about you but I have never seen has much dust and moisture in the air. In fact, I don't think I have ever seen even a little bit :S

Perhaps a few dots of dust in the air but that's it. Not big beams of it.

[KiwiBlaster516]

Can you export the terrain model as a .3ds or .obj?

[BEASHTS]

I don't get it, where / when can we mess about with this? And how much?

[inricheetos]

Is it still written in blitzmax?

[masterxilo]

yes...

[xXShadowAsasNXx]

did you make this alone?

[bboy1605]

ok so far it loks like everything i need only i dont find multiplayer support :(...in the future will it support this option?

[thetubeaccount]

there is already multiplayer support =)

[bboy1605]

oh shit really? how many players?

[ackillesbac]

how ever many players you want. You have to code it. its a game engine, not a "game generator"

[Poskusin]

No offense, but that's not support. There is no multiplayer support, but it is possible to design a multiplayer game.

[mastawheela]

sweet :) would i be able to use this for a directx 9 game... like a medival game... im going to make one :)

[MetroidFreak12]

WHAT THE HELL IS OPENAL?

[Leadwerks]

It's the sound system Vista uses. The installer is included in the SDK browser, just look at the bottom of the main page and it will say "Install OpenAL".

[MetroidFreak12]

oh sorry im just pissed right now

[MetroidFreak12]

were can i download

[JSR2127]

This is great but does this al work with Unity????

[cypher1554R]

This is simply put: "Amazing" in the purest meaning of the word. Very well done you guys. Can't wait to get me a newer graphics card, so I can put these kind of fancy shaders into my engine.

[unleashedgreen]

Is this a loner program or can other programs work with this like how DarkBasicPro works

[Leadwerks]

You can use any modeling program to make objects.

[Sh4d0wRuNN3r]

Lol this owns Crysis SDK by far.

[nik6069]

do guns come with this

[Leadwerks]

There's an example that shows how to make weapons.

[unleashedgreen]

So does this engine create only FPS or can I create anything else cause I want to make a good Horror Game and this is the best engine i've seen so far

[Leadwerks]

You can make any kind of game. The lighting and special fx would probably be good for a horror game.

See the lesson on character controllers.

[Ryan1m]

I just discovered these videos for this engine it looks amazing. Can I import blender models and meshes into this. Also do I need any other program for this like 3dsmax for it to run or is it standalone.

[Leadwerks]

Ha, do a search for Blender+Leadwerks. Stop by our site and check out the forum for more info.

[mariobyb]

How easy is it to setup a scene like the 1st one in BMax with LE2.1? I mean, is it an huge amount of code?

[Leadwerks]

I provide a code template that will load a scene and set everything up for you.

[masterxilo]

gravity seems to be too high, objects fall to fast and in the end, the ball presses the boxes into the floor, making them jump

[Leadwerks]

It's because the ball's mass is 1000 times the mass of the dominoes. My mistake.

[masterxilo]

how can I create joint?

[QUAKE24andBF2STINKS]

Is using this map editor/engine similar to using GTK Radiant?

[scope51791]

If you buy this, do you get the updates when you make them, or are you going to have to buy the updated version. So you bought it and got the latest release what ever it is...2.1 is it.

[Leadwerks]

If you buy the existing 2.0 you get the upgrade to 2.1 for free. It's nearly ready, and you can try the beta of 2.1 right now.

[scope51791]

Is the beta Free or do you have to purchase 2.0. I am holding off on purchasing Leadwerks until I get a better computer. I hear you need a pretty good computer for Leadwerks.

[Leadwerks]

The beta is only for registered developers.

You need an SM 3.0 card to run the engine. I recommend a GE Force 8800 GTS, but they are getting cheaper every week.

[lukedaed]

hey,is this program easy to use.And do you have to use programing to make a level or game i hope its optional.I'm thining of buying it the graphics are insainly awsome.

[damiensturdy]

Very, very nice work Josh!

[bytegrove]

Impressive!

[dun3SNAK3]

where can i download the sandbox?or do i have to buy it

[Leadwerks]

It comes with the engine.

[Zipstacracksta]

Awesome man

[JeromeSqualor]

this is amazing!! Demo?

[GilGalvanti]

Very impressive ;).

[Jeku]

Wow, nice work :-)
