Clever stuff that.  Smiley

best I could manage in DBPro without shader access was to have a single object comprising of loads of separate quads, texturing each of those from a single tile map.  That was much faster than any other method I could find although as it still comprised hundreds of quads it would be an awful lot slower than the example you linked to.

EDIT: Oh and DBPro needed DirectX 9 too  Tongue

Yeah I've expressed my love of shaders before Smiley  You can do some amazing stuff with them using some incredibly simple code.

Haha cool.  Is it all done using a proper physics engine, is it your own or is the physics "faked" ? Smiley

i'm trying to decide how to do foliage.  i know nf can auto cull it bassed on range , so i need a algo to disperse it , bassed on a property map .
then users can ajust a settings.

One of those things that's much easier in 2D with a tilemap Smiley

How do you plan on handling that in 3D then?

camera range and 2d tilemap fog on the radar map , and if a enemy is in a fogged tile / grid area , it won;t render in 3d ,

i will let the terrain render but nothing that could be a discoverable item , untill player is close enough to triger discoverly .

incase of an enemy , hope your view range beats his. LOL

Cool idea that of using a 2D tilemap to control what's visible in 3D.  Clever  Smiley

I watched your other UI vid on Youtube too.  Good work there.  You've got some lovely GUI gadgets to play around with now.

So you plan on replacing all your existing GUI with Frosting?  Sounds like lot of work.  BunnyMonkey!
