Stress testing the movement and rendering systems.
Also, having fun with massive battles.

We're considering making this a gamemode for Star Ruler called "Gauntlet".
One system per player, a minimum of 8 planets and a maximum of 25 per system. It is utter madness; I can barely hold off the swarm of ships flooding into my system all the time. Anyway, this screenshot submission I guess I'll title "Sudden Death".

We may resubmit later with a different screenshot if we feel we have a better one handy.

Hm, note: I didn't notice I had an application running in the background when I took these screens. The actual output of the game is higher than in the screenshot. Also, I didn't notice that I left the profiling on; didn't mean to put the framerate in the shot.

Hey virion how did you place that grass in your scene. Did you do it by hand or does your editor do it automatically?

Virion · Post by **Virion** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 3:09 pm

by hand.

but i can duplicate the selected model by pressing a button so it's pretty fast.

if this is plagiarism... remove it

but i used the grass scene node to demonstrate my geom shaders

~60 blades of grass on an image
400 planes
52 geometry replications in the shader

~1.248 million blades of grass

Hardware mapping hint
at 60 FPS

oh and as opposed to 24 thousand at the same FPS

Nice picture Virion. Your project's coming along nicely.

Very nice devsh, geometry shaders can be a good solution in large environments.
