Questions!!!
00:00:33 [Hipster_Puma]: Did you expect this much fame?

00:02:04 [SneakyMak]: Will 3 dimensional volumetric clouds ever make its way back into the mod? Perhaps in an uber version of seus or something similar?

00:06:08 [Percival91]: Could you perhaps release a shader pack that is optimized to work with low-end laptop videocards (Intel HD graphics 4000 for instance)?

00:11:37 [RingDaze]: How did you get into coding?

00:12:05 [ploooopp]: Could you please make everything customizable, not through config files but by actual tabs in the game? For example being able to turn on and off volumetric clouds and water shading.

00:14:47 [fivepillar]: what was the hardest part about coding your shaders?

00:16:12 [Stickman278]: Do you think you changed the way the community shares screenshots forever?

00:22:50 [M1k3r_]: Do you have any plans of making another mod that changes the visual appearance of Minecraft in some way?

00:25:46 [MegaPixelPerfect]: Do the Shaders ever feel more like a chore, than an enjoyable project to you?

00:29:28 [Hampthecoolest]: Is there any possible way to get anti-aliasing to work with your mod?

00:36:05 [Stazza85 and Fuzsion]: Will you ever bring godrays back to SEUS?

00:40:54 [Omegadecisive]: What happened to the Sound Reverberation Mod you talked about a while back?

00:46:30 [FriarNurgle]: Mac version?

[LunisequiouS]:
00:48:42 1.Would it be possible to make regular and stained glass blocks/panes reflective similar to how water and the ground (when it rains) look, so you could essentially make mirrors in Minecraft?

00:52:35 2.Do you plan to update Parallax Occlusion Mapping to work again without visual artifacts in 1.7?

00:59:40 3.What other features are you looking into implementing into SEUS in the future? What else can we expect?

01:03:15 [magma83]: What is the first screen-shot taken with SEUS, and was the first beta rudimentary or already robust?

01:06:14 [Miniappolis]: Would you ever consider your own launcher that updates itself?

01:07:54 [CraftPotato13]: Will you ever fix the bug with stained glass?

01:08:54 [blockitect]: Would you ever consider live streaming (twitch/justin.tv) some of your work?

01:12:43 [SpartanSK117]: Have you considered doing Minecraft videos for example showcasing updates and commentating over it?
