I think it's about time we started a show off thread for cool Torque 3D stuff.
Screenshots are great... but a YouTube HD video gives you massive bonus points. :)
Ready... Set.... GO!

I hadn't looked at those. Thanks for the links =)
Sickhead is actually responsible for the Zone and Portal objects that will be in Beta 3.
By "automatic" zone and portal generation, I mean automatically placing Zone and Portal objects where the Interior/DIF equivalents already exist in the level file and not in generating new Zone and Portal objects during the mesh exporting process from the 3D modeling application (since this is already done during the Constructor/map2dif export process).

@Matt and others: Thanks very much for explaining. It makes sense now. I'm really happy to hear that there'll be Zones and Portals in Beta3.Does that mean that no more light leaks into other rooms? :O

@Sorin - We haven't hooked up light queries to Zones just yet, so we may not have that ready for Beta 3. Still we will have that working for the final release for sure.

@tom - So will there be support for the parallax mapping in Beta 3 or is that just a custom modification that you made to the HLSL shader for the terrain?

@James - I just checked it in.... you'll have parallax on both terrain and Materials in beta 3.

It still looks rather nifty with shadows turned off.

If you avoid overlapping light radii when using shadows performance is good, even on my crappy 7series card. It's when you've got lots of overlap that fps begins to grind to a halt as it desperately tries to calculate the casts of multiple shadows.It still looks rather nifty with shadows turned off.
