OctaCore Game Thanks, the engine was custom-build, almost everything was written from scratch. The game was written in C/C++, OpenGL is used for rendering and OpenAL for the sound/music. OctaCore on IndieDB/ModDB OctaCore on GreatGamesExperiment

Image Based Lighting using Deferred Shading Quote:Original post by Viik My first thought about 64 shadow maps was like - it should be really slow, but it's damn fast. How did you achive such performance with so much render to texture? Basically your whole scene is rasterized 68 times or so. I...

Image Based Lighting using Deferred Shading Quote:Original post by mokaschitta that looks really great! Couldnt you use only one shadow map (and reuse it for each light) though and accumulate the shading results in another rendertarget? 64 seems te be way too much for practical use....

The Garden OpenGL Demo Thanks for the comments! Quote:Original post by Dom_152 Looks nice but I only get 1 FPS at 800 x 600. My card is a Radeon 9800 SE Overclocked to Radeon 9800 Pro power. Sounds like shaders falling back to software mode. As Ezbez said, try...
