could you upload the model somewhere so i can test?

Nothing at all. That example does nothing besides load the model, and use the predefined materials. Checking the materials in jmonkeyplatform, nothing that should result in this. It was all fine, then I upgraded […]

that’s strange…
Do you have some Alpha blending enabled on the model or something fancy in the additional render state?

Yeah, the builtin lighting material is used. And yeah the direction is wrong, but in this case it doesnt matter. And reading up on it, using depth textures arent as bad as it once was. I remember it was a big […]

That’s what I was saying. I thought I’d have to tweak it a bit, but didn’t have too.

Also added the glow technique to the moons and it works fine. Being small they’re engulfed in the glow pretty fast, […]

I guess with careful tweaking I could do that. I do want the sun’s glow to bleed-in inside the planet, its luminosity is far greater, but what we’re seeing above doesn’t really work.

It’s […]

I think the planet needs to have a glow technique that renders black.

I think your brain is tired.

Orange and Yellow spheres are suns (it’s a binary system). The blue sphere is a Neptune-like planet and the 3 small brown spheres are moons.

The blue planet is, obviously, in […]

…my brain cannot decode the picture I know I should probably be seeing some solar system but I don’t
Anyway afaik adding bloom required some changes in the whole material system, are you sure you […]

@fredrikaxk do you use the built in lighting material?

also your shadows direction is pointing up, don’t know if that’s intended.

The single component R32F texture format is preferred […]

The OpenGL specification required depth textures in version 1.4. They can be read directly by shaders. So I don’t see what the issue is.

Because you need to know the depth for many effects like fog, light scattering etc etc

In that example, I dont set it up in code at all, all materials are set up in the j3o file. That exact example is a basic game with this in simpleinitapp to setup shadows:

Also, any reason why jme3 uses depth […]

How do you set up your materials?

yeah i forgot about the alphaTest flag sorry.
that cool it works

It’s a RenderState not a Parameter, every material has it.
are you sure you placed it in the additionalRenderState section?

ok you have to play with the alpha falloff of the your red circle material.
if it’s in a j3m file use

if you create it by code

could you test that please?
