Mobile phone 3d game This is a Java mobile phone game reminiscent of a nice little game from Sega with monkeys in it. While it's graphically not too impressive (remember, it's for cell phones) it might still be interesting for people who are into mobile phone programming...

Is M3G on SonyEricsson/Siemens usable at all? Seems like a lot of vendors have started to support 3D APIs in their latest models. So I happily tested the great new 3D world on mobile phones just to very quickly notice some things: - The SonyEricsson 3d sample looks consist of nothing mor...

Projective texturing and render to texture problem What I’m trying to do is render the current scene 1:1 into a texture and then project this texture onto a water plane (the next step would be mirroring the camera but I’m not there yet). Problem is, I just can’t figure out...

Capping of stencil buffer shadow volumes I’m currently trying to implement John Carmack style stencil buffer shadows (also known as the z-fail method) and have come to the point where i have to cap them. The problem is, for doing so i guess i have to triangulate the silhouette. Bu...

Extended PSM (research paper, demo, code) Wow, I've only checked out the demo but that looks REALLY great. Especially the long stretched shadows with the light source being very low at the start of the demo. Could this be the holy grail of shadow mapping? Just one small question...

Variable FPS, any gotchas? Doing engine (physics?) in constant intervals sounds fine to me, but wondering if it's necessary to cap the max framerate on a 3d mobile phone game is, a bit naive? If you achieve smooth framerates on a wide range of devices currently out t...

Fio: a Fallout-alike Isometric Engine Quote:Original post by Omega147 Quote:Original post by al_lea For i dont have a decent map editor now, it's much easier to convert a fallout2's map to Fio's map format(just to exercise the engine) and reuse Fallout2's graphic files(.frm). And scrip...

grass rendering There's an article in GPU Gems 1 about rendering grass which I think describes the most commonly used technique. You can see an implementation of it in the Codecreatures Benchmark (should be downloadable for free). I guess nvidia uses the same ef...

Biops 2 (FPS) How picky people suddenly are, weapon model needs more polies? I'm not sure if the assault rifle in Halo 1 had more polies (reminds me a bit of that one), looks ok to me. Actually I like this screenshot much more then most of the FPS engine s...

Terrain too rough Hippokrates, I once had exactly the same problem as you. Stairs in all my hills. What did I do to get rid of them? Just like some other people already suggested: use 16bit heightmaps! I tried smoothing in the renderer first but this never w...

Deferred Lighting Do you mean deferred rendering or just realtime lighting? Because deferred rendering is more then just another lighting model. Realtime lighting with stencil shadows or shadow maps doesn't require a deferred renderer. Regardless of what you mean I gu...

GPRS Quote:Original post by Boruki Unfortunately, as the title might have shown, this is a C++ server applet with a Java based client on a mobile phone/pda trying to connect to it. I know. That's exactly what I described. Maybe you have been...

GPRS Well, the real time multiplayer J2ME games I'm aware of all require UMTS phones. On 3G GPRS networks you generally only have turn based games (with a latency of 1500ms and more). But maybe technology in this area has moved on and I'm...
