To really sort of drive the point home, I tried to setup a similar scene in the regular engine and take some comparison shots. Here is regular magic light in the old engine: And here is the smooth lighting version: I'm still playing with the values of the second one but I need to wait until I have more of the geometry complete so that I can do proper comparisons. Having a big sand block in the way instead of a little light block skews the whole view. i didnt fully understand what you where meaning by smooth lighting untill i saw this.... wow its going to make the game so much better ;] i cant wait to have a look at what some places will look like with the difernt lighting. but it also might make building a slight bit harder because there wond be defined blocks itl look so real hehe

I don't like celebrating my birthday.. (sad I know, don't see a point..) All i do since last year is ask for something if i want something (which i didn't last year, and I ended up getting like $80-$90 ) seems strange due to you posting the date of your birthday or something about your birthday on at least 2 different topics :PPPPP

Colored lights. Add zem for the new update. Unless you already have them planned. Inverted lights would be better. Maybe blackholes.

I'm confused. Isn't that what the majority of this thread has been about?

I thought you were just showcasing the new smoothing. It would be cool to have an RGB slider pop-up when selecting magic lights. They are magic anyway.

I thought you were just showcasing the new smoothing. It would be cool to have an RGB slider pop-up when selecting magic lights. They are magic anyway. There will be specific lights with specific colors. It can't be a slider really because it still has to boil down to some block type + geometry.

So this is where modding kicks in to get people to create different colored lights.

I think he used the Menu's lighting and ported it over .

Nah, that uses more conventional lighting. I'm sort of redoing/refreshing the engine from the ground up and I'd been meaning to investigate smooth lighting for a while. One thing led to another and smooth lighting = colored lighting, also. Right now I'm getting the block libraries to work again in the new framework. Fortunately, I was able to keep the groovy API mostly the same for those but there are enough changes to keep me busy... plus I want to make some of the types more "pure" than they were before from a coding perspective. By this weekend, I hope to be actually loading real terrain again.

Also note: the menus and their effects are pretty much done. I haven't hooked up all of the paths but I can create and load worlds, etc... I should make a video of the world selector because it's pretty cool.
