Haven't posted in a while... programming

you used a simple .jpg copy / paste over and over on the wall patterns right?

thats really cool what's does? like DOS program?

Does as in ... does. You know...

Like:

Does that taste good?

So basically I said "does C count?", but since I wanted some pauses in there, it turned out "... does ... C count?"

As for the textures, Peab (one of the modelers) made them. Like I said, 2 modelers, 2 programmers (me = lead programmer) - I'm just the programmer

Well, I DO do some graphics stuff. I had to edit the material for the whole scene to use my different shader and so on. But the actual texture and geometry itself is by my modeler.

I completely re-wrote the parallax shader from the ground up according to this doc:











Last thing I got to do for this shader is spotlight support.

great job man, keep it up and maybe you will be making the next battlefield 3

Quake 7 here we come!

Video 1

Video 2

If you don't want to waste time, just watch Video 2 - Spotlights. If you got time to watch details and stuff, watch both of them, 1 first, 2 second.

(shows bumpy parallax, multi-lights with multi-passes, spotlight, tangent generation per-vertex)

1st = bump map mode
2nd = 3x parallax mode

Graphics look amazing :grinthumb ! Good Luck....you need to to a mass Demo for all of us here to play !

Thanks! BTW, the purple... "spot" you see is actually a blue spotlight. It simply combines with the red and makes that purple "spot". Technically, my shader supports infinite lights... although, the processing power it'd need for say... 100 lights ... is, well...

If anyone has a spare 8800ultra to donate for my ... *cough* uhm, developing needs...

:blush:

How far are you in the develpement? Is there a plot for the game :suspicou ? You should post it on SourceForge !

Not too far. Just a bit of physics and this per-pixel shader that does everything from parallax to emissive mapping.

Yes, we're working on a plot. In fact, we've got a draft document of the intro. Not sure if we should post it yet, so I won't.

Here's a VERY SIMPLE demo that will test your PC to it's limits (hopefully).

There's no parallax or bump mapping, or even texturing. But there are, what I tend to call them, perfect lights. Lights that are all entirely calculated for every.single.pixel.

Press space to place up to 7 additional lights. WASD to move.

nevermind. I missed the password when reading your post

Mmk

How's it run? BTW, it's found in bin/release.

Yeah I tried it out and it ran very well (took all my processor cycles too )
That might be a little overkill for the lighting in a game though... Slow computers ftw

Lol. I'll leave it in as an option for high-end rigs. Otherwise it'll be semi-per-pixel.

As for processor cycles... =) No sleep() in it, will eat up all you can give it.

And... shadows!

(1 green spotlight, 1 ... something-ish point light, 1 yellow point light at camera not causing shadows)

Demo was pretty good!

You should in the next demo add some guys guarding a big portal and you shoot boxes at them to make them cry then you go and kick them in the balls and rush into the portal! Muahahahaha

I liked the demo too ! Good work so far !

Cool, nice to hear that!

Out of curiosity, how'd it run? I'm interested as to how a heavy pixel shader runs on different cards... For simple testing, place max lights in a close-to-one spot and make sure they're all in view.

An FPS, what settings you use (including whether it was GL or D3D) would be fine I guess. And a gfx, too, unless you have it in your sig or something.

For me, at 1440x900 fullscreen, 6x AA it runs at ~30FPS on D3D (you know my trusty good 'ol PS2 X850XT that I love but hate that it's restricting my pixel shaders)...

More parallax goodness!



(wow, I better start working on the portals...)
