Shadow?

[Hromon]

Does WaveEngine have shadow support from the box? О.о

And is there an approximate release date for 3.0?

Thanks.

Hi Hromon,

We are working on a new Dynamic Shadow System for WaveEngine 3.2 preview to support all our lights types: Spot, Directional, Point and Area lights.

We have spent the last year rewriting the entire engine and before dynamic shadows we had a lot of things to do, so now only static shadows (lightmaps) are supported officially from the box.

But we understand this as the next most important thing we have to do for this new code base.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks from ansfer.

I love the architecture of your engine and am eager to know when there will be a stable 3.0 release?

From today you can download the WaveEngine 3.1 version with .NET 5 and C# 9 support. And try all the new samples based on this version from: https://github.com/WaveEngine/Samples.

Hope you like it!
