great to know about that, thanks.
Most of the stuff works fine in 1.7.0.
I have not tried it out yet. Thank you for your test!
I’ve written a simple fog shader using post-processing technique. Get it at:
code.google.com/p/pandademomaster/downloads/list
demo_fog.zip, it is an add-on to the demomaster
It is not working in version 1.7.0. My machine is still at version 1.6.2 so I am not able to tell you how to fix it on 1.7.0.
I believe the DOF demo (and shadow demos) is also broken if the depth buffer is not working as told.
I’m attempting to add the sun shader in my own program. However when I do so I get this:
The sun looks normal when it is in the lower left corner. What am I doing wrong? 
Can you post your code ?
Yes! Sorry! I should be forbidden from posting late at night.

Awesome. Thankyou sir.
I tried to recreate the show Panda shaders with the exact same sphere-tbn.egg and same textures you used and the difference is huge:
On the left my code and demomaster on the right.
Normal map is not being applied, there’s bloom everywhere and specially there’s some weird lines on the top and the right of the screen.
Do you know what am I missing ?

run()I think you have to turn auto shader on.
Indeed, forgot that line.
Do you also get these white lines if you run my code ?
What white lines are you referring to ?
May be you are talking about the text you have set as the title for each sphere. They are TextNode and you can see the text if you zoom in a bit.
On the top of the window as on it’s right, you can see two white/grey lines which doesn’t appear with demomaster but shows up with my code.
The apparence of these two lines changes when I resize the window.
Here’s an other screenshot:
I tried the demos (v0.8) with recent build of the Panda SDK. Most of the demos crash with some .dylib error, Terminal just saying Bus Error.
Here’s one of many crash logs:
pastebin.com/sRPvczqz
This one should be from the cubemap ocean demo:
pastebin.com/e8Yp79cp
tallmystcarpet, bloom is a post process, it effects the whole screen. Those lines are this bug: bugs.launchpad.net/panda3d/+bug/424640
Bradamante, I think those errors may be this bug: [Bus Error on Mac with IntelGMA 950)
I get the bus error on my mac that has that issue, but not on mine that does not have that issue.
The aquarium which discussed here:
[Aquarium effects)
is finally available here: code.google.com/p/pandademomaster/downloads/list
It is far from the end-product that I would like to have. Especially the underwater effects are bad, the plants are bad, and I would like to use some more shaders in the static scene demo, so many incomplete items …. also if the fish eyes can be moved….
Unfortunately I am so busy on something else, I am afraid this little project is up to here. Have fun and play with the fishes, feed them and create bubbles with your mouse.
I don’t know what you had in mind to achieve but just like this I say it is awesome - the fishes move so sweet and realistic and the environment is believable. To make it perfect need just to tweak the fog (fishes looks unaffected) and maybe it feels the lack of shadows but not much more I think.
great job Cheung, congrats and thankyou for share it!
Running here with Panda3D 1.7.1, built from a CVS checkout on Linux. It all works great… absolutely fabulous contribution, love it!
Cheers,
Gary
You need to comment lines 271,272 in demomain.py for it not to crash with Panda3D 1.8.0.
