Hi everyone,

Since Thuesday i've some free time, a LOT of free time, so i work on my game and my old Sponza's demo : new render settings, coding some stuff i was hoping to do earlier, and blablabla...

So here a first screen shoot with a comparison with and without ambient occlusion :

UPDATE
Here the link to the updated demo : windows version : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QS93AN40

MacOS version (not tested, if anyone can test it, let me know if it works) : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3Z7JKSOO

In with version you can enable / disable  post-processing effects,  activate a day /night cycle, i added the automatic lens-flare effect and ,after a research, I've reoriented the model to match real sun's position.

Quick update:

I'm working on a "benchmark recorder" for Sponza. It will create a file like that :

Code:

59.906898
59.907063
59.864304
59.890038
59.861610
59.927204
59.895592
59.879108
59.908901
59.887550
59.881474
59.878696
59.882286
59.893265
59.879963
59.886532
59.886040
59.873394
59.928181
59.912289
******
End Loop
Average FPS : 59.890198
******

But also show the result on the hud with min, max and average FPS. The file creation process works, i still have to create the HUD.

[pixel_legolas]

wasnt there some kind of "bug" that always show the fps in hz, most monitors are 60hz now and it constantly showed that? Was it fixed?

[LutinMalefique]

i remember had seen something like that somewhere in the forum.  It'd may be a technical stuff choosed by Helios for some reason, i can't explain.
But with the exported game, the gamecore's FPS corresponds to Fraps one, so it should work...

[LutinMalefique]

The updated version is done, now frame rate is display in the HUD and every 10 seconds an average FPS is calculated.
I'd planned to create a file to store those results but file creation process does not work with export game, i haven't succeed to fix that.

PS : Thanks to David, file creation works. The file is created in MyGames/Gamecore/Sponza. You can download an updated version here:
