undulating water surface to simulate waves I'm not sure I get this, can you explain more clearly? I think it's non-trivial to not have a flat plane as the water surface using this method. Btw, do you own a Toyota? :wink: I just meant using the shader in conjunction with geometry-based water surface...

Hi

Lookin' goooood

Wow the (shader) level of submissions is certainly rising

That's rather strange, I would have thought that CUDA support implied physX support. It's possible that in this case it's some non-CUDA option that uses pixel shaders to do the computations? Never heard of this being the case for PhysX though...

Question is how we would identify the geometry. The pointers are one thing, but which other elements need to be stored? And how to pass along the other things, which can be altered, but use the same geometry buffers. It's definitely possible somehow, but I'm not yet sure when we would come to this ...

It's come such a long way since we started, now we just need a little hand getting over the final hurdles as unfortunately I've become too bogged down to contribute much in the project. If you want to be part of a high quality project that I've personally poured a lot of my blood sweat and tears int...

Wow some of those look like parts of New Zealand/Australia

I highly don't recommend MD2 or MD3, they are outdated formats that use keyframe animation. Try to stick to B3D, MS3D or X.

Yep, the most important thing to keep in mind is doing a depth test when combining the static and moving buffers, everything else is pretty straightforward.

Hah.. epic.

Wait did this turn into an rb memorial thread!?

Eh the main reason of my post was to share my implementation, which skimming you post I don't see any mention of. Maybe there is something in there that would be useful.

Can you place a breakpoint somewhere after XEffects->update() and make sure that the materials are getting set back to their correct values? What does your draw loop look like?

Also, what are you doing for the terrain, is it excluded from light calculations?

The depth from the camera will change, but not from the light...

Shadow maps are the depth from the *light* from the *light* point of view. Your view position is irrelevant.
