Blog post
After my last blog post, I received plenty of emails asking to see the planet shaders I was working on in action. So, here's a demo you can download which gives you a fly-by of the earth in TGEA1.7.
Download the demo here, extract the zip somewhere and run it.
There's a readme in the zip that gives some brief background information, and I've also commented the shaders (a little) so you should be able to figure out how they work if you want to use it for your own purposes. The main planet shader should work out of the box. The atmosphere shader requires a small modification to the engine if you want to use it in your own project, I'll post the necessary changes in the private forums.
The shaders do not have any fallbacks, so if your graphics card can't handle them, then either the demo won't run, or you'll be missing some visuals.
Enjoy.

Something went horribly wrong with the ID3DXInclude stuff

Yes, it is intended to be stand-alone, and should be fixed now.
