Thanks for the quick response, I love it when devs have their threads on insta-notification! Never heard about SpaceTripper either, I'll check it out on the internetz.

So are the shader and lighting effects very advanced, or just basic stuff?

Also, if you can, giving the car a dynamic shadow would be really awesome (a shadow that has the shape of the car but appears in the opposite direction depending on the lighting (like in GT Racing, but not faked.))

From what I remember when Luke showed me the shader stuff a couple of months back, the sun (light source) altered the way the shadows and the colours on the track moved about, making it very dynamic and more realistic. This is for the track mind and not the car... not sure what is planned for the car at this stage.

I was experimenting with using spherical harmonic lighting to do internal reflections on the track, which was kind of cool, and not an effect I can recall seeing used in a game, however, I can see why now. Although, it did look kind of cool, it just isn't worth it for how how much resources it uses up. I don't think the iPhone will cope.

Where still not sure what new effects will make it into JCS2, but a more realistic shadow is under consideration, but not confirmed yet. One thing that you can definitely expect is a much improved lighting model on the car.

There's a Space Tripper link in his signature. Click on it.

That sounds great!
