Hi Alexander,

You can get the docs / pics from this zipfile:

>2
Don't know how easy it is to create the cubemap, please ask snailrose on
Elysiun.
>3) Your demo image shows "Dynamic lighting".
per pixel dynamic lighting indeed. nicer then vertex-lighting, and more
dynamic then lightmaps. dynamics shadows should be possible to, but the
shaders need to be written...
Thanks for feedback,
Erwin
