Yann's Lerp Shadow Mapping Technique

I was reading the other day about shadows on gamedev and came around the posts that Yann made for getting good results for shadow mapping. He gave some basic psuedo code for doing a type of PCF shadow mapping, but instead of just taking surroun... |

Realistic Water Using Bump Mapping

Just so everyone else here knows when they come and read this and want to comment on the specular highlighting. The intent was not to make the realistic light from the position of the height map, it was JUST to show the bump mapping with the li... |

Realistic Water Using Bump Mapping

Yah, I was just thinking about car games that have a reflection of the world as the car is driving through the whole world and was wondering what they do for their cube or sphere map. I find it hard to believe that they would render the world in 6 d... |

Realistic Water Using Bump Mapping

In regards to cubemap reflections.... to create the cubemap do you have to render the world from 6 directions every frame? Like, in a racing game, when te reflections are bouncing off of the car as it drives by, is that what they do? or just do pa... |

Realistic Water Using Bump Mapping

Yah, I could not just render the terrain upside down like was suggested, and not do backface culling, which might help as well.
I am curious about the cubemap thing that was mentioned, how do you mean? What kind of effect would that give? Not su... |

Hey cool, that KINDA worked :)
Now it looks like this:
It looks like there is shaded spheres in the outside pixels. Weird. If you look at the other guy's pictures in the post I mention at the top, the Coliseum image has banding, but t... |

When is someone ready to move on from C++?

That's a good question. Me and many other people don't give the computer science degrees much recognition because many people can't actually come out of college being able to really program anything efficiently because they just spent most of their... |

Realistic Water Using Bump Mapping

Hey thanks for the comments.
playmesumch00ns: If I don't do specular lighting, then how would the bump map be seen so clearly? Just normal diffuse lighting? Yah, you are right, the sky box already has the sun burned into the background.
