Demo Time:)

[Luuk van Venrooij]

Hi all,

Just wanted to share 2 demo`s I`ve been working on. First of all my software renderer I posted on a while back. I have completed all my goals for this little researched project. It`s a bit slow but mayby I`ll optimise it some day:)

The final feature list:
- double buffering
- proprietary mesh format (borrowed from my current project)
- wireframe rendering
- directional lighting
- gouraud shading
- backface culling
- perspective correct texture mapping with bilinear filtering
- 16 bit depth buffer
- 2x supersampling
- perspective projection
- world space to view space transformation
- fps camera movement
- extensive math library (borrowed from my current project)

Controls are standard WASD and Mouse. You need to open a mesh first in the menu. System should be windows with an x86 cpu;)

The second demo is a mix of some old test projects I had lying arround. It renderers a detailed character with some cool effects:

- parallax mapping
- normal mapping
- specular mapping
- soft self shadowmapping
- rendering of bloom and glow

Controls are standard WASD and Mouse. You probebly need a decent OGL2.0 card to run this. It has not been tested on nvidia hardware jet.

Some screens of both projects:

The monster/bishan model was made by a friend of mine and you can use if as you like. The soldier model is a quake 2 asset and is still property of ID software and shouldn`t be used commercially etc:). The source code is under GLPL.

Greetz,

Wow, very impressive. :)

I tried the char renderer and it ran smooth as. Nice work.

[Traveler]

I have to agree, very smooth! I've tried the characterrendering.zip version and got around ~1100 fps (using ati 4780)

[Luuk van Venrooij]

Thanx guys! Any of you had the chance to run it on nvidia hardware?

[JSoftware]

Works great on my 8600M GT

[NecroDOME]

Looks good!

[Luuk van Venrooij]

Nice to hear that it also runs ok on nvidia:)

(Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT)

Software render worked good, between 29 and 40 fps or more, but there was some texture bugs when zoomed closer. Also when moving view very close the triangles that go offscreen start go buggy and lagging the app very bad.

Character render was looking good without problems, solid 60 fps. Will edit this post later without vsync...

... and its averaging 180 fps.

Thanx for the feedback everyone!

Oooops, wrong thread. ::)

BTW: Impressive. :yes:
