Thanks for your kind words and your support :)

Both, there have always been a problem with DOF in the old wicked engine DX11 that's why it was never added to MAX, I fixed that and will add it to MAX shortly. The snow is also new and still wip, I like to also add depth buffer support to it :)

@@MakingGames It looks a lot better than the current snow. Max seems a fair bit speedier as well thanks to your optimisation work!

It is really fast and perfectly smooth here, but yes looks like the recording is ruin it , wait until you can try it yourself looks superb :)

GameGuru MAX - using wicked engine DX11 version :)

Thanks for the kind words and your support :)

Thanks my friend :)

Its was just something quickly put together , well I did add dither that's add a lot , I dont even know what "vertex wobbling" is, so yes there are tons that could be improved, Thanks :)

🤣

Yes I know it was a really fun test, my brain was trying to translate my thoughts to English and gave me my worst coding session ever. You really need to practice live video/coding :)

Ha yes I did not really look into all this was just asked yesterday to make something and decided just to make something live, but yes there are many ways to improve this , perhaps also adding some dithering ... , thanks :)

Thanks really appreciate your support :)

Did you not wonder why it came with a oxygen tank ? , you should also have read the small text to :)

Ha yes it do sound funny, and thanks for all your work :)

Shaders :)

GameGuru MAX already include a terrain editor you can use , depending on your needs perhaps you dont need it , but yes MAX Easy Terrain is a separate app that you can purchase. Try the free demo of GameGuru MAX first and check if it already got what you need: store.steampowered.com/app/1247290/GameGuru_MAX/ :)

@@MakingGames thanks

Good suggestion , I will look into it :)

Yes billboards are a great addition to LODs, the perfect fit would be having a billboard for LOD4, So when switching to billboard it happen at a greater distance (LOD4) so you dont really notice the popping when switching. There can be problems using it as an alternative depending on the angle the player see the object's, like if you fly over the object it will look wrong top down, this could be fixed by using more rotated planes for the billboards but then again I think as a addition to LOD it would work great :)

@@MakingGames Maybe look at the way that Ultra Engine handles billboards for some inspiration. You can choose how many angles you want, and iirc it even has an option for billboard angles from above and such. (It also fades between billboards with an alpha effect, rather than instantly transitioning between angles.) It'd use more memory of course, but an end-user may want to use billboards for particularly expensive assets. Perhaps even characters for a big battle scene? I.e. you have fake billboard characters off in the distance, with a basic 3 or 4 frame walking animation. On that note, some optimizations particularly for characters would be supreme. Techniques like time-slicing (rather than each character updating their physics and logic each-frame, characters closer to the player update every frame, those further back every other frame, etc. or even characters are automatically placed in "batches" and each "batch" updates at the same time, but only one batch can get processed per-frame.) animation throttling based on distance, etc. You're doing amazing work by the way, bless you and thank you, good sir.

@@fearlesswee5036 Wicked engine already have angle based billboards, I did have a play with it but was not 100% happy with the result I will give it another spin and see if it could work somehow , Thanks :)

Yes that's a good idea, I added a "overlay wireframe" that uses depth so you only see the wireframe on the visible side, so its not so confusing. Wicked Engine make it so easy, and SkinVertex came in handy here. Thanks for all your work :)

Terrain and trees already have LOD , but yes displacement in terrain perhaps ? :)

You need the LOD Generator to make the LOD objects, but you only need to optimize the master objects :)

Thanks :)

Not at the moment , but Lee from TGC have asked people about this, and if there was a need for larger terrains he would consider to add it. You should add it as a feature request on GitHub, if its not already listed, and if it is you should add your comments there so Lee will see it :) github.com/TheGameCreators/GameGuruRepo/issues

Hi Duke , Thanks for the kind words :) , you already have MAXET to make custom terrain textures and landscapes, vegetation is not really open for customizing yet ( only if you replace the original textures ) but sure when we can change the vegetation folder to our own I will also add support for that, perhaps I will even make the changes in MAX for allowing customized vegetation if I get the time, really busy with the optimizing at the moment, the optimizing is really needed before any WOW features/function can be added to Max :)

Its all included in the Wicked Engine , it's one of the ImGui Samples :)

Sorry for the delay, was not able to read it, I translated it and you should contact support from where you purchased the product. I'm not able to make refunds as it's TGC that are selling the product , Hope this helps :)

Hi you got my e-mail: plemsoft@gmail.com :)

Thanks I will try to boost it a little for the next video :)

Thanks , yes I like the Flax engine, and many features is able to export to Flax :)

Yes strange it deleted it ? , anyway I got it now and a good suggestion , I will give it a try and see how it improves the fps :)

Been trying to ask about "animation" throttling, which is a technique where animations are rendered at a lower framerate based on factors like distance to camera, and the amount of processing time devoted to animations last frame. I think it could be a good optimization trick in scenes where you have a lot of animating entities, but can't just outright cull them. (Think a forest scene with a lot of animated foliage, or a big fight scene with dozens of characters.) It could be helpful for MAX to have in it's toolbelt.
