Leadwerks Sandbox Preview

[doctaroosta]

i tryed to download this but it wouldnt facking open!

[ATPS12]

can you drive that monster truck

[matthewcamz]

wow

[Schoasch1995]

i just made the VC++ tutorial and it closes down immediately... =( does this work on my pc?

[lRever]

don't care :)

[milkshake7656]

Was this made in Endorphin or something? I recognize the red, green, and blue arrows from Endorphin.

[lRever]

idiot >.>

[milkshake7656]

Idiot? I'm not a pro at physics and stuff. When I ask questions I want them to be answered and not get a rude respose.

[Leadwerks]

Endorphin didn't come up with the idea for red, green, and blue arrows.

[GordonFreeMANness]

@milkshake7656 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL etc.

[lukedaed]

is there a demo for this.

[Leadwerks]

Yes, go to our website to download the demo.

[OGMO11]

hey, I downloaded it, but when I fire the sandbox up, or any of its things, it just pops up and closes down again

[Leadwerks]

Run the OpenAL installer and make sure your drivers are up to date.

[OGMO11]

yeah, I ran that a while ago (about 2 weeks ago) so im pretty shure they are up to date, maybe my pc just cant handle it...

[diamondback476]

may you give me a link to the demo download page

[Mittycroner]

go to the website.

[masterxilo]

sorry, just read that: "Dynamic day/night cycles are supported, as well as real-time weather changes

"

[Leadwerks]

Go to our forum on our website and we will answer all your questions. Just google "Leadwerks Engine".

[masterxilo]

- is it as easy to apply shaders to objects as with dbp?

[masterxilo]

I might buy this, but first some more questions:

- does it have object instancing? (I think so, otherwise you couldn't have that many oildrums at once)

- is there an editor for ragdoll setup so I could make ragdoll bodies or ferns like in crysis?

- does it have a particle system?

- a weather system?

- a sound engine?

does te physics engine have wind or can we set the direction of the gravity

- a day/night cycle? How difficult would it be to make a daynight cycle?

[masterxilo]

and 5 more things:

- does the LOD system have billbording (for trees)

- does it have builtin offset mapping

- is vertex/polygon manipulation possible? is it fast? Could I make my own terrain editor with it?

- does it come with that sandbox and an editor where we can set up the collision models (build them with the collision primitives)

- can we sell the programs that we make with it?

[Leadwerks]

-Yes, you can make tree billboards.

-The engine has parallax mapping.

-Meshes can be edited in real-time, but it is no-cost if you use a vertex shader.

-The terrain commands allow you to write your own terrain editor.

-The Sandbox editor doesn't exist yet, so no.

-A tool is supplied for creating collision models, either as primitives, convex hulls, or triangle collision from a low-poly mesh.

-Yes, you can make commercial games.

[masterxilo]

thx

oh, and 2 other things:

1. can I attach spotlights to objects or can it anly be infront of the camera

2. how many lines of code would I have to write to see a rotating cube onscreen? more than with dark gdk?

[Leadwerks]

-You can parent a spotlight to any object.

-You can have up to 8 lights onscreen at any time. The total number of lights is unlimited.

-It would probably take about 10 lines of code to draw a rotating cube.

[masterxilo]

1. Does leadwerks have ragdolls?

2. How many lights casting realtime shadows can be there at the same time?

3. Does it have a LOD system? (so: can we make an entity and add one or two lod models to it that switch automatically based on dist)

[Leadwerks]

1. Yes, but they have to be created from joints and bodies, you don't just make a call to "CreateRagoDoll()".

2. Up to 8 lights can be onscreen at once. Hardware occlusion queries are used to cull lights on a per-pixel basis.

3. Of course it has an LOD system. :)

[Zipstacracksta]

YES! Its real time!

[reidy1012]

If you ever sell this i think you will make a lot of money, it looks great the graphics is good quality all it needs is ragdolls.

[reidy1012]

Wow this is realy nice, i was wondering if you could send me a beta version of this to use it conjunction with a game im writing in blitz 3d just send me a messege to youtube account whether i would be allowed.

[damiensturdy]

Looking good so far! Keep up the good work!

[z4g0VGC]

wow :O!!

[jrfps]

"it is a matter of doing it in a way that is easy to control"

I agree

"easy" Is the most important!!!

[jrfps]

can you show a ragdoll example?

[Leadwerks]

I don't have ragdolls implemented yet. It's not so much a problem if doing it, as it is a matter of doing it in a way that is easy to control. I will add it soon.

[JerezJulio]

can you edit the monster truck :)

[Leadwerks]

Yeah, I can probably make a vehicle of it and roll it around.

[huttkiller]

ur smart

[quaidster]

what program is that

[Leadwerks]

A new one I am writing!
