=== Flightgear gets shadows and lights === | |||
The Rembrandt project, that began as a proof-of-concept mock-up and was hosted in a separate repository tree, is being merged into the main repository. A new switch (--enable-rembrandt or --prop:/sim/rendering/rembrandt=true for fgrun) is available to start FlightGear with the new renderer. Without the switch, the scene should be displayed as usual. With the switch on you can get that : | |||
[[File:Rembrandt-vinson-iar80.jpg|640px]][[File:Rembrandt-ksfo-iar80.jpg|640px]] | |||
or that : | |||

The renderer as several know bugs (shadow disappears at angle, x/X shows color artifacts, ...) and few models and shaders are ready for the new renderer. A [[Project Rembrandt|wiki page]] collects the technical details of the project and should help designers to convert their models. Don't hesitate to contribute to that page to bring clarification if needed. | |||
