Distort/Shimmer Effect Respecting Depth
|
I was wondering if anyone knows of a distort/shimmer effect, or anything post process effect that respects depth?
So for example, when you have a heat shimmer, it'll only distort the samples behind it, and not sample from objects that are dra... |

I am having trouble appending to the steam out buffer
UINT offest = -1;

The buffer only has info from the last draw call, then seems to get overwritten each time.
Any info is appreciated... |

Sending Integers to a Pixel Shader
|
Okay, so I want to send ints to a pixel shader form a vertex shader(not as a uniform constant)
So, Ill just send them as floats right? But, TEXCOORD's get interpolated and that invalidates the ints when it does that?
Is there a solution to this... |

So is there a dance genre that I don't know... |

Volume Intersection Sphere to Sphere
|
I am trying to find the volume of the intersection of a sphere and a sphere.
I found a equation from Mathworld but it seems to give me negitive volumes.
here's what I coded for it:
float v = PI*sq(r1+r2-d)*(sq(d)+(2.0f*d*r2)-(3.0f*sq(r2))+(2... |

What's your opinion of the 3DS
|
Quote:Original post by Rattrap
I'm curious to see if I can see a 3DS in 3D. I've had eye alignment issues since I can remember, which basically results in my right eye being dominant. Thus I don't really see in 3D (or have depth perception). Any... |

Z-buffer check: when is it done?

Quote:Original post by Nik02
In D3D11, you can enable depth writes on less-than or greater-than basis compared to the incoming calculated depth. This way, you don't necessarily disable early z optimizations if you can ensure your output depth i... |

Z-buffer check: when is it done?

I believe the the video card has a another depth buffer(Hierarchical Z Buffer) that it uses to test at this early state. It wont be able to do this if your pixel shader outputs depth, or other things like alpha test or change depth test direction. An... |

Clouds

When I did it, I used http://www.markmark.net/clouds/RTCRPubs.html
Those papers/slides should talk about all the cool stuff, lighting, scattering and impostors. |

[DX9, C++] Pixel shader texture sources and targets

As far as I know you cannot do this.
So you'll have to create another texture to render to, and depending on what you're doing you'll want to switch the textures so you can read from the last rendered texture next frame.

Fast Real-time Translucent Rendering Technique Using Spherical Harmonics

This is really cool! and seems actually useful!
Did you store SH data per vertex or pixel? It looks like vertex to me right now from those pictures. |

Distort/Shimmer Effect Respecting Depth

Thanks guys, I guess sampling the depth is the only viable solution. But like you guys said, it's probably doesn't create very noticeable artifacts |

Best way to pay people internationally ?

Ah nuts, so it does look like my options are limited.
I was hoping there would be a flat pay would be best, so I guess a direct bank transfer done monthly would be better then biweekly.
