Hey Xavyiy awesome work so far. Take a look at this, maybe you could do it like that:

Keep it up dude, you rock.

[Xavyiy]

Yes, during the development I've taken that first video as reference

Maybe in 'fast-time' it can looks different, but you can see that in very slow motion the movement is almost the same than in the video (Check the last ray, at the second 47) =)
Edit: The "only" difference is that in real thunderstorms the "children rays" seem to fade before the big flash(when the path is created between the cloud and the ground), in my simulation I highlight these little children rays to get a better visual result..., anyway, I'll try to make that parametrizable(this way the user is going to be able to decide the behaviour) and set as default the better visual configuration for SkyX.

One time I'll have implemented it in SkyX, I'll work on good colours for the rays, but that really depends of the thunderstorm... sometimes you can see almost orange rays and other times almost blue ones! =)

hi,

how to make the skyX library affect the date time of the entire scene : terrain, meshes, ... etc to get a date time cycle scene ?

just by changing the date/time of the skyx Component

Someone posted in this thread I think how to do this. It was in this thread or somewhere on these forums - use the search button!

Has anyone found a fix for the stencil shadows? Do you thinking editing the skyx source so the created sky meshes don't receive shadows might fix it? Edit: Looking at the material I'd guess not?

ok another one

first picture without Fog


and with the fog


please can some one have an idea on how to get the fog working correctly with skyx

i really want to use skyx for it's volumletric clouds system and the fog is a key feature in my app

Xavyiy are you here ?!

The easiest solution is to add "fog_override true none" to every pass in every material in SkyX.material.

[amigoface]

hi Stinkfist,

thanks for the response but unfortunally it dosen't work

like you suggested i have added "fog_override true none" in evrey pass of skyx.material in the ogitor but without success

any help is welcome

Hi guys,

Just wrote the post asking how to run SkyX on linux, but little distracted, googled a little, and now SkyX works!
To solve this I take glsl shaders from http://ppa.launchpad.net/sonsilentsea-t ... 1-3.tar.gz

So, SkyX looks awesome! Thanks for great work!

[Stinkfist]

@amigoface

Weird. Worked fine for me in my app.

[amigoface]

just to be sure

Code: Select all

fog_override true none

this is the exact line that i have to add to every skyx.material pass ?


what version of ogre/skyx are you using ?

[Stinkfist]

Yes, "fog_override true none". I've put it after each "lighting off" line, lines 183, 381, 449, 516, 575, and 687. Ogre 1.7.3, SkyX 0.1. However, I must add that the fog color still affects on regular clouds, but least the clouds are visible.

[advicecat]

When adding volumetric clouds to SkyX, my framerate drops to 40 fps (even 20 fps, when look up, directly on the clouds). Is it normal?
Linux, GF 8500 GT, 270.41.06-0ubuntu1, nothing but SkyX on the scene.

[JackTheRipper]

Hello, I'm new here, from China.What you did is Awesome,I'm very interested to see how it works,but I can't understand the code,how you build the sky,the clouds.So, Would you do me a favour to give me some explanation, or tell me where I can get something principle.Thank you

[Valentin Perrelle]

Hello,

I am using a non-orthodox coordinate system where z goes to the sky instead of y. Is there a way to tell SkyX to rotate his origin ?

[Xavyiy]

There is a Z-up fork of the 3.1 version I did a year ago for a client, here is the download link: http://modclub.rigsofrods.com/xavi/SkyX ... .1_ZUp.rar

[Valentin Perrelle]

I just realized... that's what "z-up fork" meant ! I've seen it on your website, but never understood what it was. Thank you very much !
