#501 @Alfio
That's some seriously awesome work.

#502 yeah, that's nice. 'should be in the Vanilla.

Are you controlling the depth/mipping level when you adjust the sharpness ?
(it's hard to tell in the video)

#503 @Rene... thanks =)

@EB: No, yet i don't using the ZDepth. I intended to use them later, just to correct some artfact and to implement other functions... like the motionblur.

#504 That looks hella lot better Alfio. very handy tool too

#505 This version, i release it as a resource. So much so it is a very simple shader.

#506 Another test with the first map. All the material are without Normal/Spec maps, and i have to change the default ssao postfx with the new ssao postfx by Ryan Mounts implementation.

#507 Nice Alfio ... also chilling music. :)

#508 @Alfio
Very cool. Looks great.

#509 Very nice Alfio. How did you make the city? Is the lighting from Purelight?

#510 No... the lighting is realtime (scatter sky), for now i using only the diffuse map. For the normal mapping, i think i will use my new shader that generates the normalmaps (with parallax on alpha channel) on the fly, so without precalculated bitmap. I also just replaced the SSAO, and seems to perform better. Especially the annoying artifacts are gone =)

#511 A new video of AoD, now showing ambient animations and AI:

#512 looking good Oscar.

#513 Beautiful, Oscar!

#514 Very cool!

It looks like there is a little "ice skating" going on there. Do you have ground transforms on those walking animations?

#515 No, we don't have ground transform on them. They are pretty old animations, from the TGE times of the game. As a matter of fact, they are walking on a grid, without any contact with the terrain.

#516 A ground transform allows the engine to scale the animation playback speed by the horizontal speed the model is moving. This allows you to change their speed without having to redo all of the animations and have them still look like their feet are properly hitting the ground and "sticking" as they walk (no matter what surface they are actually walking on).

#517 Sweet! I'll check with my animation and programmer for that. Thanks! =)

#518 After a few hours of work, i was able to re-implement my old voice chat system.

#519 Great stuff Alfio - if you have the time it would be worth a blog on here to share what you've done with the voicechat, I'd guess from the text you're using Teamspeak.

I'd be really interested to know more about how you've integrated it.

#520 @Andy: Just today i finished to implement the audio positioning in 3D space. Now i should see if errors are generated in some way. Once... i proceed to the optimization and to the creation of a GUI for the configuration.

I want to also implement the PushToTalk and Private/Group Calls functions.
