That means that the shaders written with NVidias CG system (works with other gfx cards too) didn't work for you -- those are used on almost every object in that Chesapeake Bay demo (which is still not really published, but you can find the WIP in the demo links the installer puts to windows start menu). Is strange that they didn't work on windows, I've only seen that problem on Linux when have had Ogre without CG support .. has worked on Windows with the prebuilt binaries with all gfx cards I've encountered. On Linux you should check the plugins-unix.cfg ogre plugin config file -- I think it has the CG plugin disabled by default .. works for me when enable that. > I am hoping that starting fresh with the prototype 2.0 might be easier (for > certain definitions of 'easier' :-D ).

Thanks, that one was actually made by us at Playsign for the TOY project :) (Silja did the modeling and Tomi the texturing, Pekko the basic idea of having those modular platforms which can be easily used for different configurations which are then easy to extend with new platforms for new apps etc). > Glenn ~Toni -- http://groups.google.com/group/realxtend http://www.realxtend.org
