Renderware: getting co-ordinates of a position on model Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way that I can get the co-ordinates of a place on a (animated) model? Specifically I need to get the shoulder, elbow and hand positions, which can all move (in more than one dimension), and each is aff...

loading textures into video card memory Can anyone tell me how to load textures into the video cards memory? At the moment I am using display lists but I think they only use normal system memory. For models you use a thing called vertex buffer objects, but I'm not sure what the equiva...

Renderware for PS2 I have managed to get work experience with the possibility of a job later next year. The position is coding for the PS2. I found out that I will be using Renderware for the PS2, which is something I have ZERO knowledge of. I desperately want to get a...

Fighting Game V2 I started a thread a while ago about a game I have been writting for some time. It is a fighting game like Mortal Kombat. I tried to add this post to the end of that thread but it refused to work. Anyway the earlier version that some people tried had...

3D particle system Does any one know where I could get some code for a 3D particle system? I want to have a blood fountain type effect, like in Kill Bill. All the particle systems I have found use sprites. I want to be able to move the camera etc. Yes I know I cou...

loading models I have been trying unsuccessfully to adapt the model loading code from gametutorials.com to openGL ES. Has anyone actually got this or other model loading code working? I so could you please post it? Thanks Jonathan

3ds Vs md2 I was reading through some posts about loading models and a few people said that md2 is a better format to use because of the size of the files. Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in performance as well? Which is better / worse? Jonathan

One in the Chamber Hi everyone If any of you have the spare time could you please check out the game I have just finished? You can find everything you need at: http://www.outofgear.gotdns.com/games.html And could you let me know if it did/didn't work? Jonat...

The Tank Game If you have some spare time please have a look at my game. It requires Java3D to be installed on your machine. Here is the zip if you already have the Java and Java3D SDKs; http://www.outofgear.gotdns.com/jon/tankzip.zip Or the webstarted...

loading textures into video card memory I could still see the particles with that cull face setting, what does that mean? The problem is that I was rendering transparent particles over each other again and again and again, and I guess that really hurts the processor. Jonathan

loading textures into video card memory OK I spent ages trying to get texture objects working, and when I did it didn't make any difference. I have decided that I have too many glBegin() and glEnd() calls. What I am trying to do now is use VBOs to store all the co-ordinates for my particle...

loading textures into video card memory OK so the thing is that I am using display lists at the moment and they are making ZERO difference to performance. After some reading I have come to the conclusion that this is because I am doing things like move the textures around and change their...

Renderware for PS2 No we don't have access to the Renderware site, I don't know why but they told me they don't. I looked through all the documentation and what I found was really vague. So someone please just humor me. Jonathan

Fighting Game V2 The manual does have the keys, you're right you didn't look hard enough. Getting punched won't cancel a move, but getting kicked will. Was what you saw consistant with this? Ademan555 could you be more specific with what you said about the fightin...

Renderware for PS2 OK guys I can see the way to do this is with a dff file. The problem is, I asked the lead programmer if he could show me how to load and render the sphere, and he said "just have a look at the code I wrote over here..." The thing is the code he wrote...

Renderware for PS2 OK well how about a cube then? I know you would have to define eight points, and form six squares using those eight points. A few places have told me you do that like this: ModelBegin ClumpBegin Vertex –0.05 0.00 -0.05 #1 Vertex –...

Renderware for PS2 OK guys, I started this week and up till today everything was going fine but at the start of the day I got stuck on something and I haven't figured it out. It is now 10:45 PM. How the hell do you draw a sphere? In openGL you call a method cal...
