More sky

I added several random features to the sky, such as fog and haze. For comments, see the original thread.
Dynamic Sky
August 20th, 2005
I added dynamic clear sky effects; the sun, moon, and stars all move realistically throughout the day. Clouds are coming soon 8) For comments, see the original thread.
More shaders
August 18th, 2005
I have been messing around with shaders some more, and put together a nifty chromatic dispersion shader and an odd garnet shader. I will probably start on some basic features that I have not added yet like model loading. For comments, see the original thread.
Beginning User Interface
August 13th, 2005
I started on the UI for the in-game editor; so far it supports draggable floating or set windows with static text and buttons (working!). For comments, see the original thread.
Better Physics-Based Animation
August 10th, 2005
I spent a few hours today changing the stick figure guy to a rabbit by adding arms and ears and making him walk on his toes. Also added variable speed, and several other changes. For comments, see the original thread.
Physics-based animation
August 9th, 2005
Today I started working on procedural physics-based animation: the controls shift the character's center of mass, and his AI moves his legs to maintain balance. All or most of the Lugaru 2 animations will be using this same idea. Edit: Fixed gif link For comments, see the original thread.
Terrain Progress
August 2nd, 2005
I got texture layers working like in Lugaru, except with higher resolution textures. Here is snow terrain with two texture layers: Also I am starting on the grass technology: For comments, see the original thread.
