Water renderer These images show a new water renderer that I have created for the open source RTS TaSpring. It supports the usual stuff for water rendering like reflections, refractions, specular highlights, fresnel etc. The cool part though is that it renders the...

FBO without depth attachment? In the spec for framebuffer_object there is an example for how to use FBOs without a color buffer and just drawing to the depth buffer (I must confess that I havent read the entire spec). But is it possible to do the opposite and only attach a c...

How can this happen Take a look at this screenshot. As can be seen in the watch window it comparing 507 + 4 with 512 but for some reason it thinks 513<512 and manages to get into the if statement and crash. How can this happen ?

VirtualAlloc+HeapCreate ? Me and some others are working on a RTS (taspring.clan-sy.com) that is starting to shape up. The problem is keeping computers in networked games syncronized. The networking format is build upon sending just the user input and having all computer...

Vertex program and clipplanes It seems like ClipPlanes doesnt work together with vertex programs on Nvidia cards while it works perfectly on ATI cards. Does anyone know what the spec says? (yes im lazy i suppose). With clipplanes, without clipplanes.

Getting info from crash address I am creating a game that might soon have progressed far enough that some public testing is in order. My problem is that if the program crash on your own computer you can easily get visual to show the function it crashed on in a release bui...

Restricted access to data Im currently writing a RTS game that uses syncronized simulation on all machines and just sending user input over the network. The problem is that some parts of the programs are unsyncronized (everything having to do with drawing etc) and some s...

A Robust Alternative to Perspective Shadow Mapping To see this type of shadows (using sqrt for compression) being used in a more complete game see TaSpring.

Water renderer Wolf: The vertex shader texturing doesnt seem (on GF6600GT at least) to be the bottleneck, I get the same framerate with or without it. I dont think it would run well on Radeon 9x00 cards anyway. obsesedgamer: We are using our own engine ...

Water renderer I have added a fallback path that draws the water flat without using textures in the vertex shader now. It doesnt look as good but it should work on ATI cards.

Water renderer I do a texture lookup in the vertex shader which I use to transform the height of the vertices.

Water renderer Leo_E_49: Yes I have increased the ambient waves a bit after I took those screenshots taby: Not sure what their work is, I used an equation from some nvidia paper for the fresnel effect (b + (1-b) * cos(angle)^5).
