  http://www.youtube.com/v/76TQONRrgM0 http://www.youtube.com/v/76TQONRrgM0 I have been playing around with XNA using DWM, GDI and the good old Win32 API's and think I can create a kind of 3D desktop with them. The intention is to also leverage the... Posted Jan 29 2010, 12:10 PM by Nemo Krad with | with 8 comment(s) Filed under: XNA 3.1, Multi-touch, DWM, GDI+, Windows7

  Yes, it's still lighting, or is it...!lighting? lol Anyway, think I have resolved my deferred shadow mapping issues tonight, well with cone lights at the very least, point light shadows next I think, but think they will be quite expensive.

• Last instancing post...

  Yes, more instancing, this time I have put the instance class into a manager so I can have multiple instance streams. Looking good I think.
