I do have a blue fog applied, but wasn't that noticeable in that screen.

The game doesn't have any kind of shadows or post effects, when I'll add those it will look more immersive.

I think it looks pretty good now, only thing I notice is that the trees are 2 planes. Are you making an android/iphone game?

got Newton 2.32 working

The documentation regarding this physics engine is LAME! =.=U

Its a wiki, feel free to update it

I don't like how it is organized. You can't see the philosophy of the engine, and the examples won't help the newcomers much. They are too obscured, it feels like the programmers want to hide Newton's simplicity. It is an engine which is missing many important features, like cloth or soft bodies, and that makes it to be seen as a second class engine. But it does its work, and if you aren't asking for more than continuous collision detection, is enough.

If instead of hiding everything behind a layer of complexity, the engine was shown as it is, probably it would be more extended, because it is fairly easy to use.

Agreed. It looks complex at first, but it is actually really easy to get working. And hopefully since they recently released it as open source, things like cloth will be implemented.

@entity... he doesnt win... pow(x,0.0) on a GPU yields 0.0

Well that's great, thanks for letting me know

I guess you're right, I never knew that
That's pretty illogical right there, I can imagine that resulting in some serious headaches
The only documentation I can find for this is on the opengl site which claims pow(x, 0) and pow(0, 0) result in undefined behavior, so I still wouldn't use it
The HLSL documentation completely ignores this 'feature'

a screenie of my embarassingly n00by and new world editor for my engine (which I have coded in 3 days)
An Interesting feature is a fully functional (scrolling (unlike most things in irrlicht)) texture cache browser, the annoying thing is, my inferred lighting GBuffers can be selected (maybe a good thing??, since you could code a simple post process quad in the editor or a water scene node etc?)

I couldn't sleep so I started digging through all my old projects scattered around my laptop
I stumbled upon an 'ancient' framework I did based on a modified irrlicht engine (not sure which irrlicht version, should look that up) which basically is the ancestor of my current irrlicht prototyping framework
This thing still used havok for physics

This is a vortex simulation done in havok, I could spawn massive amounts of random meshes with actually pretty awesome performance
The codebase itself was a huge mess though, I don't think any code from this thing actually survived in the latest framework

EDIT:

Fun fact: I always gave the random meshes a rather large mass which resulted in some serious ass-kicking if you went too close to the vortex
This demo literally beat the sh*t out of you

A early Multipass forward rendering lightmanger for infinite number of lights per mesh

Radikalizm · Post by **Radikalizm** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 10:32 pm

Wouldn't that become really expensive with a lot of lights?

omaremad · Post by **omaremad** » Wed Jun 08, 2011 9:19 pm

It processes lights in batches of 4 per pass, hence allowing infinite lights without the overhead of a pass per light.

Here is an example scene which runs well, shadow mapping included this time
I will release this light manger (I might call it NOOBLITE) so people can get nice scenes easily.

Soft particles yayy!

[Black borders to view only 'soft' transparency but particles are taking into account its alpha channel]
The attenuation function is not linear, paper here --> NVidia paper
