Will wait further coding until things stablize and an official release is made.
Will continue to monitor your work to get some insite as to how things work & what needs to be updated.
Best!

Edit: So couldn't resist! With the "old" version of Love 0.9, the conversion of my rotating textured cube was a snap.
Would post code but no assurance that "newer" versions of Love 0.9 would require furthe modifications.
Ill pit this feature on the back burner until 9 is more ready. Shame because that cube is exactly hat I am looking for.

Maybe you can get my code to work if you hatched-out some of the non-essential stuff & rename some of the other.
Love 0.9.0 really has a lot of interesting new features!

Trying to understand what's going on with the transition from Love 0.8 to 0.9.
How will pixel effects be performed after newPixelEffect is removed and all we have is newGeometry (pixel shader vs vertex shader)?
Geometry is great for texturing and coloring geometries but how will sceen lighting be done?

They are still supported, they're just named Shaders, and vertex shaders have also been added.

Sure will be interesting to see how!
Got any simple examples.
Would like to add lighting to my rotating (textured) cube.
Edit:
Sure would think I'd read my own posts and look at my own code.
Sorry for this post.
Problem now is that the effect is applied to each textured face and not the screen.
Looks like I'll have to draw the textured cube to a canvas and then apply lighting to the canvas.
More fun.
Edit: Yup! That did it. Draw to canvas and the apply Shader to canvas.
Any more recent Love 0.9.0 builds for windows?

I like it. Well, that there's no noticeable distortion in the image. Exactly what I'm going to need for my project.

What are the speed differences if you were to say draw about 1000 Geometry polygons vs. 1000 normally drawn polygons? This is what I'm most interested in.

Creating Geometries every frame will be less efficient than drawing the same ones without re-creation. This is another advantage of using the vertex shader for 3D projection: polygons and the projection matrix are decoupled - although Geometries are still limited to convex polygons (in terms of 2d space.)

I'm talking about whatever method Ref is using above. I want to know how much of an impact it has on speed if you were to draw say a hundred of those cubes with textures vs. a hundred flat shaded polygons.
