Quadtree entirely on GPU
|
A while back someone commented on one of my planet videos, to ask if I was managing the quadtree for LOD on the CPU or entirely on the GPU via the geometry shader. At the time I didn't give it much thought, because I still needed... |

Managing Shaders/Effects

A bit of background: I have worked a fair amount with OpenGL, but recently decided to take a look at DirectX, specifically DX11 via SlimDX. At this point I have a basic SlimDX application up and running (renders GPU-tesselated quads), but I am having... |

I think the date/time for post edits may be in a different time zone to the post creation dates - a couple of times lately I have seen edit times an hour ahead of the post creation date.
For example, this post by Sneftel was edited the best part o... |

Audio interference

I just bought a very nice pair of headphones from Newegg, and the sound quality is a lot better than my previous cheap headphones. Unfortunately, the headers for my front-panel audio ports are located right under the edge of my video card, and with t... |

Starfall: planet rendering

These are early screens from my planet rendering engine. I also recorded a youtube video so that you can see it in motion (apologies for the awful compression artefacts).

Text rendering on CPU

Referring to this thread from a while back:

Interactive backstory generation

What do you think of interactively generating the protagonist's backstory, as the game is played?
I always feel that the character creation process in your typical RPG breaks immersion, so the idea here is to integrate RPG character creation more... |
