Terrain Editor

This is a two month project I just completed. It is not as polished as I'd like and there are several things I wish I had done differently, however the results are to my liking.

[MDX 2.0] SDK Light Sample
|
I took the SDK Light Sample and converted it to mdx 2.0. I couldn't get the cylinder to light. So I took out the vertex buffer and just used a sphere for simplicity.
I've been looking through posts and changing my code for hours now and still no... |

MDX - Low FPS with terrain
|
Unless I'm mistaken, a Quadtree is the way to go.
I've implemented one. I tried the route of using one index buffer, limited in size. I update the indices every frame based on camera frustum. This was way too slow.
Attempt 2.... |

MDX - Lighting Texture Splatted Terrain [RESOLVED]
|
I can't seem to figure out why my terrain doesn't light. I've tried changing the vertex color itself & tried hardware lighting. I believe it has to do with the TextureStages, but I've got no idea.

Texture Blending

I trying to blend a mask texture and a regular texture together. The problem is that the detail of the regular texture doesn't show. It becomes one color.

event.h contains a class cEvent, which uses eventcontroller's singleton
eventcontroller.h contains a class cEventController, which uses a pointer of cEvent

I believe the ** means a pointer to a multidimensional array. It could also be written as *ppData[]. I've also seen ** used to reference an arr... |

Thanks again for the comments!
I certainly will take a look at each of those techniques now that the heat of the dead-line is long gone. |

[MDX 2.0] SDK Light Sample
|
I've noticed others have had the same problem as I, and they too haven't received help. Maybe it will remain a mystery. I just find it hard to believe that lighting in mdx 2.0 is just down right broken. |

c# direct3d read from vertexbuffer

Lets say you're using CustomVertex.PositionOnly.
Then you should be able to do it with:
CustomVertex.PositionOnly[] array =
vertexbuffer.Lock(0, LockFlags.ReadOnly) as CustomVertex.PositionOnly[];
vertexbuffer.UnLock(); // when done... |

What are your views on the Torque Engine?

I played around with it for a bit close to a year ago. I unfortunately bought a book (can't remember the name), that wasted my time. I didn't buy the license at the time because I was still confused and I didn't understand what was going on wi... |
