Hi, Im starting new with esenthel but unclear about a few things. I looked around the available source code and could not find any examples to show importing a complete world from the world editor. How can I import the world, so it looks exactly like it does in the editor? What is the point of having the editor if I have to do all the setup again in C++, please someone clarify this.

Cheers..

Well there is..

check tutorial here: EsenthelEngineSDK\Tutorials\Source\Advanced\4 - Demos, Game Basics\Game Basics\03 - World with Character.cpp

Have already looked at that, it doesn't do much. When I import my own world, the clouds are not showing, well none of the environment is showing like I have in the editor, do I need to load the environment somehow? for example if I modify the ambient occlusion settings in the editor, why aren't they changed when I load my world?

You need to program that yourself, If you take a look at the Bloody Massacre source you can use the environment settings + the cloud/fog codes etc.

But all these can be found also in the tutorial sources

You can also create an instance of:

Edit::EnvironmentOptions Env;
Edit::VideoOptions Vid;

...
Init() {
Env.create(); Vid.create(); // etc

and load/save the settings from a text file with it.

Thanks!

I still have the free license not the paid version and evaluating until decide to buy. So far it looks good however still need to know a few more things. It is very important to us that we can for example be able to do custom shaders including Post FX such as a custom Bokeh depth of field, Anamorphic streaks etc.
