Virtual Ping Pong Virtual Ping Pong This game should be pretty intuitive. Just click to hit the ball and try to defeat the great Ponginator 4000. This is meant to be my demo to show off my basic game programming skills. I created everything from scratch other th...

Blending Question Hi, I'm trying to blend two images, where one image is like a mask, and represents what I want to be drawn on the screen, and the other image represents a pattern of what I want to be drawn as the texture for the mask. For example. The...

water and cubemap Here is something I threw together over the last couple days. The Stanford bunny generates a dynamic cubemap every frame for real-time realistic reflections. The water uses projection mapping for a reflection and refraction. There is also a dynami...

Normal Mapping I finally got my global normal mapping to work. As you can see by the texture below, the normal map is generated with the global normals. That means the object won't be able to rotate without some complicated math to change the normals around, but...

Silly Blending Question I swear I've been searching... somehow I just can't get the solution. I'm making smoke for my game and I've got the masking to work just fine. I'm using: glBlendFunc(GL_DST_COLOR,GL_ZERO); // draw masked image and then glBlendFunc(GL_ZE...

Cubemap Textures I've tried searching numerous times but unfortunately I haven't had any luck. I'm trying to create a simple ray-tracer using GLSL and so far I have been able to create dynamic cubemaps for certain objects and store them as textures. My question is,...

Virtual Ping Pong This is my latest creation. It's designed to be implemented into a Virtual Reality room called a CAVE at Virginia Tech but basically it's virtual ping pong at the moment. I'm planning to add in some menus and have a playable demo up by the end of t...

Very simple specular lighting I have done this before so I'm really not sure why it isn't working now but I have tried everything and I'm completely confused. Basically I'm using basic opengl lighting with a single directional light in my scene. The diffuse lighting works jus...

Getting Exact Eye Position I need to get the exact location of the camera in my scene. Normally I would just use a camera class for all translations and rotations but I'm using a tookit called Diverse for a virtual environment and there are some translations made behind the s...

Fire Water Works I've just been trying to create some eye candy for my portfolio, which is pretty much non-existent, so with a little inspiration from the July 4th I decided to do a scene with water and fireworks reflecting off the water. It can handle up to six dif...

Blending Question Oh, and the black part of the image should be completely transparent. 
Posted January 15, 2009 11:49:56 PM
Silly Blending Question Well I tried quite a number of combinations with no luck... I decided to write a shader to do the blending for me.

Silly Blending Question You're totally right, that was my mistake, the second blend function is actually... glBlendFunc(GL_ONE,GL_ONE); And you're right about me not using my alpha value anywhere, my question is, where would I use it? Like for the second part shoul...

water and cubemap I do the motion blur effect by using the framebuffer to make a texture of the scene and I then store the last 8 frames in an array. I blur the last frame to get a smoother look by using a Gaussian blur. Then I send the 8 textures to my shader which...

water and cubemap Just added a new bloom effect.

water and cubemap Here's a link to a little demo showing off the effects if anyone is interested. Link!

ToyRacers That looks really cool. I like the shaders. 
Posted March 16, 2008 10:37:09 PM
water and cubemap I sure did... Finally, haha. I also just added a little motion blur effect with GLSL and the framebuffer.

water and cubemap Quote:Original post by stein Okay... Yea, I see the shadows "bleed" a little in your last shot. What language are you writing your shaders in? Is it possible to see how you do your bluring? It's distance-based, I see :) I'm writing my shaders...
