Hi all,

Since i'm new to this board, let me introduce myself. My name is Xander Wink

I just finished v1 of my shadowing system which I would like to share with you. Please leave your feedback here or on my blog!
(How does it perform (Click on the flash file and toggle the Stats with 'P'), what features are you missing, or would you like to see etc.)



Check it out here:
Shadows v1

A new and faster version can be found here:
Shadows v2

Kind regards,
Xander

You're right!  I did have fun with those shadows.  Looks good and runs pretty steadily at 18FPS/15MB on my laptop.

Looks pretty good, is it based on Catalin Zimas XNA shadows?

Hi owendeery,

I took the scene of that demo, and reskinned it, and partly used their ConvexHull. At the end I was still adding some new occluders to the scene.

The actual shadowing code is based on the paper you find here:

Looks pretty! Unfortunately its running pretty slow here at around 7-8 fps. Note that my desktop is already around 3-4 years old though.

This is brilliant! I make Flash games but I'm not much of a programmer, I can't get over this.

Same for me.
Even at 8fps though I can imagine a stealth game that uses this would be shockingly good.

Both versions ran at a stable 30 fps, looks realy nice. Blink
Running this stable in flash is amazing! I can't craft anything close to these graphics, not yet I hope.  Hand Thumbs Up Left
