I choosed the ultimate global but limited medium to... |

Snow level from Mario Galaxy - How did they do it?

See it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqOSSr23i6w

[Solved] Tangent at any point of a Catmull-Rom
|
I have a catmull-rom spline defined by the vertices of the control points.
How do I get the tangents at any (interpolated) point, not just the control ones?
One answer would be by deriving the spline equation at a particular t, but I don't... |

NARG

I've started (in total secrecy mind you:) NARG - not another racing game that is!
But instead of getting out something playable I'm doing it the other way and setting it all up from the end and going backwards!
We all dread the "it works o... |

From your description sounds fantastic! And it's a software rasterizer!

Snow level from Mario Galaxy - How did they do it?

Must be a multitexture effect with some bumpmapping(not quite sure if the Wii can pull normal maps)
Can't be particles as it would require way too many and also the snow 'regen' is done in a "whole" layering effect not a per-sprite basis...

catmull-rom question

That's the key.
To allow editing you will need control points. But for each 2-point segment you will need another 2 for extra control. From t... |

Thanks guys, but I found a very simple solution:
The tangent at any point is the (normalized) vector difference between two nearby points! |

Well I got a wonderful reply from Dylan where he encouraged me, said the money was well enough, the important thing is to code code code, prototype ideas, see what works best and build from that.
So there!:) |
