Skewbe Mapping
|
This is an example of a new algorithm I developed called skewbe mapping, which I intended for use with omnidirectional shadow maps, and can drastically improve the image quality of the shadows, as the images demonstrate. However, because the algorith... |

Macro to get variable type? (C++)
|
I'm trying to write a macro for some stuff in C++, and one thing I want to do is get the type of a parameter input into the macro.
For example, if I wanted to make a macro that returns the parameter's name as a string, I could do the followi... |

Larrabee @ SIGGRAPH
|
Intel has made their paper ready ahead of time. Pretty interesting read, I found. It's a shame that the final chip hasn't been produced yet, so we don't know 'how many' Larrabee units there'll be in the consumer available models. Hopefully it'll be e... |

Question about STM-based programming

I was reading one of Promit's journal entries earlier tonight, and in it he mentions something called STM. I read up a bit about it on wikipedia and while I think that I have a pretty good handle on it, but there is one thing I'm... |

Adding various types of objects to a level in an elegant manner
|
I've been doing some work with Unreal, UnrealScript, and UnrealEd lately, and one thing that I think is fairly cool about Unreal is how you can create a new type of object using UnrealScript relatively easily, and just by virtue of letting Unrea... |

Buy these PS3s so we can buy a bunch of Wii's!

Saw this on kotaku and I thought it was just funny as hell. Advertising the Wii while selling PS3's? It just doesn't get more ironic than that, eh? |

College really isn't necessary

I guess it'd be nice to marry her. She'd probably be so complacent and dependent that you'd be able to tell her to "get in the kitchen and make me some pie" whenever you want, as often as you want!

Forward rendering limitations?
|
Quote:why would be impossible to have 2000 lights like you have in deferred rendering?
It's not. But try doing that in a forward renderer and see what kind of performance you'll get. |

Skewbe Mapping
|
Forget about this.
This is more interesting, robust, and has the same goal. Skewbe mapping was the idle thoughts of a university kid after a couple weeks of hack-filled work. |

Parabolic solar panel in space!

I'm definitely for this. My town in Simcity 2000 had a microwave power plant working great for years.

Borderlands: No ping rate displayed on servers... Why?

Because the game was designed primarily for consoles, and they didn't invest the resources into significantly rebuilding the UI for PCs. |

You can wait about 10 years though and wait untill they release the source, like iD software does.
Even then, parts of the code will still be commercially confidential, and would have to be removed, e.g. hooks into t... |

Reduce shadow swimming for rotating camera

Oh yeah, that'll happen. As long as you round the look-at point to the nearest pixel,... |
