Cédric presents a new demo of the ExtraLight package capabilities with this cell shading renderer.

In few days a complete documentation of ExtraLight will be available, withsource code!

Check this out!

I’m very happy to announce the release of Extralight package from Cedric Jules for Sandy.

ExtraLight offers a texture based lightening, which is by definition a bit heavier in file size but also much more CPU friendly.  Get all the information from its dedicated webpage clicking on the banner above.

Cedric offers a new demo to celebrate this release, very impressive as always!

Good job Cedric

The space around your objects is no longer empty thanks to new attributes class, MediumAttributes. You can already use it to create wide range of optical effects, such as fog:

All you have to do is to add the attribute to your objects with few lines of code - click on the link above to see simple demo (with source). I really hope people will appreciate the potential of this little addition.

Here we are! Now we have a new Material Attribute object, the GouraudAttribute.

Basically this attribute brings some gouraud shading to your objects.

This little demo shows you the simplicity required to obtain that result.

Oh I almost forgot to say that the source code is attached to the demo, right under the swf

Important: This new GouraudAttribute isn’t available in the official 3.0 package, but in the SVN trunk!

Update: The effect has been improved a bit, so screenshot, demo and svn are updated.
