hogsy Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Hi there, I'm just curious if anyone knows if there's planned to be a migration path from Leadwerks to Ultra Engine? Or is it perhaps too early to say? It's a little awkward but I was considering starting what may end up as a long-term project with Leadwerks, but I'm unsure whether that's actually a good idea when there's a new engine is on the horizon, but it would be reassuring if there's perhaps a migration path planned for users of the previous engine.

Josh Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 The new engine will load all the same file formats as Leadwerks, although you will probably end up using DDS or Basis texture files instead of Leadwerks TEX. Leadwerks uses Blinn-Phong materials (specular / gloss) and Ultra Engine uses PBR (metallic / roughness). The new API has a lot of changes, primarily the use of shared pointers instead of raw pointers, but the commands are very similar and if you understand one you will likely understand the other. 1 Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
