OH MAN I LOVE POKEMON!

But really, looks nice. I think the bloom might be a little overdone though

Only 32fps ? It could use some optimizing. Or does it scale very well.

Well the screen does not look as hi tech as the techniques(that BIGASS list) are, performance is dramatic for that PC specs. But overall it's nice, and kinda reminds graphics some years ago with low fps on kinda hi-end todays computer.

@wing64:
Nice. But don't you have a polygon offset too big in your shadow mapping? Or maybe players are not touching the floor

grumpymonkey · Post by **grumpymonkey** » Wed Oct 13, 2010 9:20 pm

Yea it looks like they are floating. A higher res texture for the floor might help. otherwise good job

First, Thanks for all comment.
Second, About low fps i'm not sure depend on deferred shader and i'm hope same you need make more than current fps. (but fps > 30 i'm happy)

There the question would be: does this project really need the deferred rendering? Does it use more than 8 dynamic lights on your scenes, or you can't help but to use them?

Else, the forward rendering gives a better performance at high resolutions, or even, renders at higher resolutions at all and has antialiasing. And the rest of the characteristics listed can be present.

The only "drawback" is that you would have to figure how to draw the antialiased backbuffer into a rendertarget for the postprocessing.

@wing64 that looks really nice!
You said total tri-count is 355K, approximately how many tris do each of the characters have?
They look very beefy, no less than 10K i imagine

wing64 · Post by **wing64** » Wed Oct 20, 2010 5:04 am

@Mel: This project need deffered shader.
@fmx: U right, > 10k.
