From OpenGL 2.1 to DirectX 10
|
Hi,
I asked these question on the DirectX/XNA forum, but I wanted to get a range of opinions, so I am posting here as well.
After reading the OpenGL3 spec I have decided that DirectX is the best choice for the long-term future of our com... |

Software Rasterizers
|
Almost a year ago I was looking into some of the Larabee news and wondering about a software rasterizer. Since then, I wrote a deferred renderer for our engine:

OpenAL spatialization is terrible
|
I have noticed that OpenAL's 3D sound spatialization sounds awful. If the sound is to the side, it is really loud, coming out one speaker. If the sound is in front of me, it is completely silent. The direction seems correct, except it seems l... |

Deferred Rendering in Leadwerks Engine
|
Leadwerks Engine features a unified lighting system with dynamic soft shadows. We started with a forward renderer, but it soon became apparent that a deferred approach would be easier to manage. What we didn't know was whether the deferred renderer... |

Rotated grid shadow maps in GLSL

I am trying to add a randomly rotated grid for shadow map lookups on ATI hardware. Since NVidia cards have a PCF filter, I have found this to be completely unnecessary their hardware.
I am trying to produce a sort of stippled effect on... |

Vertex attributes and hardware skinning

Here is my vertex shader:
attribute byte BoneIndice;
uniform mat4 BoneMatrices[256];
void main(void) {
gl_Position = ftransform();
gl_FrontColor=gl_Color;
}
I only want to do one bone/vertex, to start with.
Is "Byte" the co... |

Need FBX - GMF (my own format) converter (paid work)

I am looking for someone to write a converter to load FBX files and save them in my own format.
Here is a preliminary spec:

TV3D vs Leadwerks vs GS vs Neoaxis. Which flavor tastes the best?
|
Yeah, if you want free, go with TV3D. The Leadwerks evaluation kit includes the tools, and the tutorials have a lot of code, so it should give you a good idea of how things work. |

Only the GEForce 8 series supports depth cubemaps, and even then some older drivers won't and have to use the fallbacks. When I talk about an unwrapped cubemap I just mean a 2D texture, and I divide it into 6 arbitrary areas and decide which square... |

I use cubemaps on supporting hardware, and an "unwrapped" cubemap on hardware that doesn't support cube shadowmaps.
I tried "delayed" shadowmap updating once. It was terrible. The point and spotlight shadowmaps get updated when th... |

Yes, all lighting is deferred so it only has to process lighting on a set number of pixels. |

From OpenGL 2.1 to DirectX 10

Okay, I am leaning towards C# and DX10 then. I am strongly in favor of smaller, more managable code that is easy to experiment with and optimize.
I'll probably update our existing technology to use OpenGL 3 when and if AMD makes drivers for it, b... |

OpenGL3.0.. I mean 2.2

Khronos managed to put out a new spec that does absolutely nothing:
-AMD and Intel aren't any more likely to write reliable drivers than they were before.
-NVidia is still the only one that supports SM 4 features, and I see no reason for... |

Thank you for your feedback.
