@stadi - Matt Fairfax is working on it right now. I think it will be available on Monday. Something like 3,000 revisions went on between 1.0 and 1.1 Alpha

1.1 has a massive amount of changes and fixes. I've never seen such a busy SVN trunk.

One that caught my eye is the new SSAO shader. Not only it's much better looking (now it only affects ambient lighting, properly merging with the direct lighting), it's incredibly fast. I'd say it's on-par with Crysis' SSAO both in looks and performance now.

The sketch editor is very nice too. The only thing missing is the inability of setting materials per-face. It's also fantastic for placing quick invisible walls on your level and design coarse structures that'll be populated with meshes. Anyone though about using them for complex zones and portals? Seems perfectly suited for the job.

Crikey! Manoel's right! SSAO works as you'd want without murdering framerate!

Can I make an infinite fractal making a new prefab using instances of itself? Or would that cause a singularity?

@Steve: it works so well it now defaults to "on"! It's nice to see a game using SSAO that runs at vsync'ed 60fps on my 4850 =)

Heck, I get 45+ fps in Deathball on a 7900GS, with both SSAO and PSSM shadows.

I must say, I was prepared to pay up to $500 for the forest kit (I have been saving for a while). I Believe it was totaly worth it!
Now to have it included for free is amazing!
You are a great company and the engine you are making is incredible especialy for the price.

Thanks again GG.
