Demo
A first demo you find in MyrddinLandscapeDemo.zip (click Télécharger ce fichier for download)
You will need Microsoft .NET framework 2.0.

If the program exit and complains about missing MSV*.dll, run included vcredist_x86.exe.
Press F1 for help in the demo.
Keep in mind that it is a demo and so there are still bugs...
Here is a list of bugs/artifacts that i know yet:
- minor water plane depth fighting glitches
- sun reflection need to be more realistic
- small freezes when camera page changes due to page loading: need to implement multithread async streaming yet
- minor shadowmap deph fighting
This demo is for personal use only.
MOgre and OGRE main sites can use it for free for showcase.
