lol pourquoi y'a des traits sous mes cailloux ????? sacrilège !!!

bien ..euhhhh .. à cause de ça , LOL

ayest , recollés ..

mais .. pffff ... chuis laborieux (

as it is holidays here , I retried 3DSMax

it took me one day to do that because I had forgetten all

the idea to have the shadows changing comes from jacinto

of course you know from where comes the avatar , thanx Thyme copyright


btw it is a pain for me to have the lights changing in he same time as the maps


next time I will try to put a Touch Sensor

Excellent job. Lightmaps ad alot of realism to a model.

thanx Bruce ,

btw it took me one day LOL for this poor result

Have you examples of - more or less - shadows in vrml ?
- more or less dynamic shadows ? -

I am sure it will be the future , but dont know who worked about

I wonder why SecondLife dont work on that ,
they have "dynamic movements " for hair or clothes ,
but nothing about shadows .

If I am not wrong .


I spoke just now with my great son Asheanor ,
and he told me that it is a prob for the puters to get them .


I know nothing about all that

You mean for example the shadow of a tree which is moving when the tree is moving too ?
They have but it takes more prims (something like polygones) and you know they are limited by the number of prims in a sims (world).
So they have to make some choices when they decide to build something.

If I am not mistaken, BS Contact 7.2 addresses dynamic shadowing. In truth, I have not had a chance to look into it, but I have heard that there are some problems with it....

Nice work/world, Alain.

Unfortunately, shadow/light mapping has been seldomly used in VRML, but it has been allways possible (even under VRML 1.0).

Shadowmaps (and other) are a 'production-time' job ... I mean, you must do the job on your modelling software, and you must be good with it. Nothing will do the job for you later, during 'run-time'.

I can only remember Fersen and Chrysagon doing it... ah! ... and now Alain ... sure there have been others...

This ability, combined with a good understanding and usage of standard VRML lights and materials (Griff!), have given the (visually) best worlds to VRML.

'Dynamic shadows' are probably the thing to come (or already here), but beleive me :

1) not every hardware can handle them

2) if the rest of the world - it's textures and lights - are poorly done, the result will still be as poor as a traditional 'cone-cylinder-box' world..

Resuming : the features of 'modern' vrml-x3dviewers are less important than the artist's skills.

Peter dixit.

thanks for the "encouragements " , Peter

I spent my evening trying the "Touch" ,

http://dumenieu.free.fr/louizeforum/seamless/zoetshad3shadowschange_chiseled_touch.wrl

I wonder why I have not a techie or a pig at home to make me more quick LOL

btw thanks Thyme to allowed me unlighting Zoe ( or Lucy ? LOL , I am always lost with the names - altzheimer



reedit :

better I think

http://dumenieu.free.fr/louizeforum/seamless/zoetshad3shadowschange_chiseled_touch2.wrl



and re reedit , thanks too to jacinto , because
by hazar he gaves me the idea phoning me that morning , LOL
as I was just re trying 3DSMax

It's true that all the real work is done in the modeling stage, unfortunately some of it can create fairly large texture files, but if done right, it looks great. Here is a humble sample I played with using lightmaps and animated lighting to get the desired effect.

... yes, those are nice, subtile, shadows.

And nowadays, whilest people are watching HD videos on youtube, we should not bother about filesizes that much. The upper limits of poly-count have also been shifted by modern bandwidth and hardware.

It has been said repeadetly - and I agree : VRML was born before it's time.

Alain très sympa ton travail sur les lightmap

Oui Omind, j'ai vu ça et c'est très intéressant
