3DS Max animation bone alignment issue
|
Hi all,
Simple problem here (I think). I have have a character model from a friend that is all rigged and ready to animate. However, if I rotate his thigh like he's kicking, the bottom of his foot stays parallel to the floor.
Here's a pic.

Polygon explosion
|
Polygon explosion is a method to blow a mesh out radially into arbitrary polygons. This is accomplished with a gradient texture and the clip() instruction in a pixel shader.
Here's a video of it in action:

3ds Max Face Map and Render To Texture
|
Hi,
I have an unwrapped 3ds Max model and a diffuse texture. What I'd like to do is to take a second texture with 'Face Map' selected so that it is applied to each quad in my model, and then render-to-texture but using the original unwrapped uvs.... |

Performance of Using Clip Planes
|
Does anyone happen to know how clipplanes peform? (Using D3DRS_CLIPPLANEENABLE and SetClipPlane())
I'll get around to testing it eventually, but was wondering what other's experience with it was. I'm assuming its probably pretty darn fast.

PSSMs and PSMs
|
Has anyone had any great success combining Parallel Split Shadow Maps and some form of Perspective Shadow Maps?
I've got the PSSM part working pretty well, but am interested in getting a little more out of each shadow map.
Any thoughts, comment... |

General Performance question about shadowing
|
In my current project, the shadowing pass takes roughly 8-9ms per frame. I'm shooting for 33ms/frame. So roughly a quarter of my frame time is spent on the shadows.
My scene is a basic outdoor environment, with 15-20 characters, terrain, a... |

Frame rate differences between fullscreen and windowed
|
Hey,
Sometimes, If I start my app in windowed mode, my fps will be around 30. If I toggle to Full-Screen it'll jump to 60. If I toggle back to windowed it'll stay around 60.
And sometimes when I start in windowed mode, my fps will just be 60.... |

Radial Blur implementation

Hi,
So I've implemented my first radial blur shader. The blur starts some set distance from the center, leaving an unblurred circle in the center. I have a nice looking blur, but I was wondering what yall thought bout my implementation.

Problem editing my resource file in Visual Studios (solved)

When I open up my resource view to edit my .rc I get a message saying "Open in another editor" and I'm unable to add buttons, menus and such.
I've closed everything except VS and still get this problem. I even tried rebooting and making it the fi... |

SetTexture() overhead
|
I was wondering what happens (in-depth) during a settexture call that makes them so expensive.
So for one, it breaks up batching primitives.
Also, the new texture data will need to be loaded into cache.
There's more to it right?
Also... |

3DS Max animation bone alignment issue

Thanks for the advice.
I'm not familiar with max, so I found that exporting it out as .FBX, and reimporting fixed my problem for me. |

Meshes rendering weirdly
|
Check that z-reading/writing is on.
g_pd3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZENABLE, D3DZB_TRUE);
g_pd3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZWRITEENABLE, TRUE); |

Hey that looks pretty sweet. Lots of potential with that kind of game-play.
I look forward to playing this one. |

Polygon explosion

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions.
A buddy suggested doing a twister-like effect while its exploding, PolyTwist I guess. That'd be pretty easy, just rotate the pelvis, and spine bones while PolyExploding.
I thought it'd also be interesti... |

Wow, some of those screens could pass as photos at a glance.
What kind of performance are you getting on what kind of hardware? |

Polygon explosion

Hodgman, yeah thats a pretty good idea and I'll look into trying that out. The only thing is though with PolyDodge I wanted to avoid having the polies go through the ground.

Sun rays whatever...

To help save on performance, you can perform your radial blur/iteration step in a down-sampled render-target, similar to other post-process fx.
Btw, here are some other screenshots of games that do some derivation of this effect:

Sun rays whatever...

I'm not familiar with Hoffman & Preetham, but one way those sun rays could be implemented:
1) After the scene is rendered, set your rendertarget to something other than your main color buffer. But keep your old depth buffer.
2) Clear this... |

Man, thats a really refreshing change from the typical look game devs go for.
Looks good, reminds me why I got into game programming in the first place. |

parallax mapping problem

You should also double check the code that generates those values. Try mapping the texture differently onto you floor and make sure that everything is still correct. |
