Until now, I haven’t release any code examples because my huge 3d engine size, but in order to write the article for ShaderX7 book I wrote a lite openGL framework and I want to share which they are interested in the near future. In all forms and by contract issues…
A lot of time without any post, bad, bad, bad. I’ve been busy writing the demo for shaderX7 article, thanks to Nico for the 3d mesh for the demo ^^. Well, I’ve been testing some terrain implementations: SOARX, Clipmapping but the winner by far is the chunked lod algorithm. http://tulrich.com/geekstuff/chunklod.html…
I just been uploaded a video of the planet: The unique improvement is the presence of normal mapping.
Finally, I wrote an article called “Screen-space approximate local irradiance” for ShaderX7 book that will be released in lastest days of December 2008. yiiiiihaaaa!!! :p On July I’ll try to finish the demo with full source code that will be included in the cd-rom. For this hot summer: A lot…
New improvements has been added to my 3d planet (that suspiciously, looks-like to our earth :p). * Added cloud layer. It completes one full round each 30 minutes. * Data (frontier, coast lines, etc) near blending when the camera is near to the planet. * Stars texture map for not…
Because I know that I’ll never conquer the world, I tried to build my own earth in order to conquer and tyrannize it… muahahhahaha (very, very evil laught) It uses the planetary scattering algorithm of Sam O’neill, and at now I’ll try to find some use to it… [quivers, Google…
from nedmalloc website: “nedmalloc is a VERY fast, VERY scalable, multithreaded memory allocator with little memory fragmentation… It is more than 125 times faster than the standard Win32 memory allocator, 4-10 times faster than the standard FreeBSD memory allocator and up to twice as fast as ptmalloc2, the standard Linux…
After tuning a lot of parameters, I got decent results that has been increased by adding an horizontal and vertical blur filter. sweeeeet.
I’ve added real-time reprojection cache to the engine. For SSAO looks like a winner technique because it uses expensive shader. Red pixels aren’t re-computed because they are stored in an auxiliar buffer to be reprojected. When camera moves slowly or it’s stopped the FPS reaches to infinite and beyond… :p
Code::Blocks 8.02 has been released! http://www.codeblocks.org From codeblocks page: “Thursday, 28 February 2008 18:34 Our long awaited release is finally here! Representing the hard work of 14+ developers for more 2+ years since our last official release (and many changes in the roadmap in between), it is finally made available…
