it's a bit better.  I went from a 11% conversion rate to 18% last month.  While I'm getting more downloads and purchases, the new price point puts me about right where I was before the change averaging only 2 or 3 sales a day.  Now at 80 points i'm seeing 5 to 6 (which is double, but less than half of the previous ...

[quote user="Stainless"]Water is a very complex issue, it depends on what you need it for. If you want water on a large scale, like oceans, you use one set of techniques. If you want non interactive water you use another. It sounds like you want small scale interactive, in which case you probably want to look at iWave ...

All I see is "Such and Such is gaming the system!".  Who cares!  Apparently only the MVP's.  I say if they would have let us know before hand this wouldn't have happened.  Now that it has happened, griping on a forum post will do you mvp's no good.  Take it up with microsoft.  As for the rest of ...

i dropped down to 80 points and didn't see any more sales.  I've since given up on the service and moved on to other things.... :/

The only way to "read" information from the GPU to the CPU is by use of render targets and draw calls.  You won't be able to get an Int32 array back from a shader after the draw unless you DRAW that information to a render target (thus drawing that geometry twice, one for what info you need passed back to you, and one to draw ...

[quote user="Funkbrotha10"][quote user="Steve Hazen"]go to the solution explorer, rightclick your model in the content folder, select properties.
