Minor update but worth mentioning.
Lights Debug and Frustum implemented
Category: OpenGL
AABB, Rotation, Scaling, Movement & Picking!
Object can be moved, scaled, rotated – through LUA atm
Axis-aligned bounding box implemented – now I need develop rays and we are almost there 😀
Just quick update – I have picking implemented.
Normals, Normals, Normals..
huzzzaaaa!
Materials!
It happened! – still need improvement but hey – it works!
Introducing Material Manager!!
Just quick update:
– Material Manager implemented,
Need to test:
– More than 4 lights
– Normals for different objects – I have weird felling that something is wrong
Next step:
– .mtl support for .obj
Lua + Lights + Sponza Atrium = 30 FPS
Some progress in development, Yay! – how cool is to have a few days off, so you can spend a quality time with close-ones and at the same time to have enough time to develop something in the project!? 🙂
Vertex and Geometry shaders (version 3.30) support up to 5 lights – positions, colours, intensity is kept in Lua script, yes I have a support for Lua scripting – nothing crazy yet, but I am working on it!
Need to implement a space partitioning at some point.
anyway, I have 30FPS.. definitely needs optimization, however next step: shadows.
I’ll make it smoke!
After hours spend on research and readings great publications like: GPU Gems, Coder Mind or Philip Rideout’s, Miles Macklin’s blogs aim of my Honours Project gets clearer and clearer.
I want to create simple Smoke Effect.
“Particle effects like smoke, fire and foam can be efficiently rendered without using hacks. Voxels are also being used by some big Hollywood special effects studio’s to render hair, fur and grass. ” – quote from Ray Tracey’s Blog
All important calculation will be proceed on GPU – I will do my best – using GLSL.
After couple hours spend on learning GLSL I have got that:
Loads of artefacts, however it is not so bad for just couple hours.
Next step will be to implement Perlin noise to get echo – base for my particles.
