Converting from other formats to DDS using DevIL
|
I'm trying to use DevIL (through Tao) to import images from various formats and convert them to DDS (also doing some other processing like resizing, building mipmaps and so on). I manage to load the file (and display it to the user as a preview)... |

Designing a game engine...

Hello,
In the past couple of weeks I started the (huge) task of designing a game engine from the ground up. I have read a couple of books that were good and I learned something from each one, but still the task proves very difficult. I am try... |

Portable game engine - C or C++?
|
Hello guys,
I've begun research for coding a cross-platform, portable game engine (rendering engine at first). Before you ask, this engine is not because I want to build a specific game with it, it is more of an exercise, a general purpose renderi... |

Vortex Arena

Hello.
Vortex Arena is a free game (actually it's not quite finished, more of a game prototype intended to expose a game design idea that I had) that me and a friend put up together last year in our free time.
You can check the project here:... |

Ocean Shader
|
Not an expert in shaders, but I'm sure the water is not looking realistic (if that was the point of this). It is too shiny (don't know if it's the best term to describe it), but your shot looks more close to mercury than to water to say so. I think y... |

Save HeightMap to file
|
255 levels of height won't cut it in all circumstances. You might want more, and that means using 16 bit instead of 8 for representing them. That really should be enough for anything you can imagine game related. The way you encode it in the file it... |

Visual Studio 2010: Opinions?

For me it works much better than 2008 (I do WPF work and also driver development work, so a lit bit of both ends) and I just love it. It is true it is a little slow when designing complex WPF interfaces, but in my opinion is a very solid piece of sof... |

C help!
|
This looks like your homework:) A suggestion would be to use strtok to tokenize the string by the space character, then get only the members you want and use atol (or a variation of it) to convert them to integers. |

Where is the COLLADA SDK?
|
Those online projects (similar to the ones on sourceforge.net) need a SVN client (source control software) to be donwloaded and used. Install for example TortoiseSVN and use that to checkout all files in a folder. |

Converting from other formats to DDS using DevIL
|
I found the issue. The problem is that Tao in it's latest implementation (v2.1) uses internally the .dll of DevIL 1.6.6, which doesn't have DDS saving implemented (although strange enough, it did saved using the SaveImage). I have tried using the .dl... |

Same error with those too, even with the no compression one. But it works with TGA and BMP. |

True Role Playing Game

It's hard for me to put all my thoughts down regarding this issue (I'm not an English native speaker), but I'll try.
You mentioned the fact that RP forums have their own medium, which is writing. That is the exact reason why they are closer to ro... |

GLSL mean filter

Gaussian blur is a high quality blur technique, you could get away with cheaper and not so good looking techniques for real time applications.
I haven't done a blur filter myself for real time applications, only for image processing, so I ca... |

Building normals array for glDrawElements()

Quote:Original post by Brother Bob
I said exactly one normal for each vertex. So if you have 30 vertices, you need 30 normals; one for each vertex.
A vertex that has two different normals are two different vertices, and cannot be shared... |
