Is it possible for future releases to have shadow maps with the same impact on computer resources as stencil shadows?

Where I can download this demo map?

Ok thanks and sorry for hijacking the thread. If someone could point me to a software that can be used to design game ready vegetation I could give a try (with some guidance maybe). Currently I have installed on my machine C4D and I have some experience with it for simple things.

I guess it's a wild dream for DM to have vegetation casting and recieving shadows.

I have finally realised what is the real difference between stencil and map shadows. The problem here is that shadow maps are very gpu intensive. Are other games that cast foliage shadows using maps? like say far cry new dawn for example.

I see. One more thing, can this vegetation cast stencil shadows?

That looks perfect. Aren't there any ready to use in game foliage models for download over the internet? edit: If there are no free models to download or they do not worth it, I am willing to donate as long as there is a reasonable participation from other members to split the price.

Looks interesting. I guess the reason that its is not used often may be the difficulty of implementing it in a scene? It would be perfect if someone could just brush it on surfaces for example with a deticated tool.

That second shot with the reflective water is very atmospheric. I am thinking if used properly in future missions it will have the same leverage as the first implementation of soft shadows for the dark mod. One thing I believe TDM is lagging in the realism department is the lack of high quality low height vegetation. It is unbelievable how much more realistic a scene can be with that aspect added. But who am I to tell.

I face the same issue with the non "ticking" objective after reading everything mentioned. Although I loved the mission and specifically the gameplay. Would realy like to see a bigger mission in the future with those qualities.

I see this beta is taking some time. How big of a mission are we talking about?

I would like to see the in game mission menu listing missions with the most recent released on top

You mean that this mission is at a similar level with Iris?

Congratulations on the release. I am amazed with your skill.

This is your first mission release? You got to be kidding me. I have never seen something like that in darkmod
