Improved PCF Shadowmaps
|
Recently I played Crysis Warhead and Lego Batman which are two prime examples of how shadows should and shouldn't look. While Crysis features slick looking soft shadows, Lego Batman features almost all the possible artifacts you can get using shadowm... |

As part of a job application, I was asked to simulate a soft box constrained to a plane. In addition, the box should support user interaction using the mouse. This task was completed in one week.
Don’t know if I got that job yet, but the resu... |

Problem with MD5 texture mapping
|
I thought it would be nice to add MD5Mesh support in my engine, but things didn't go so well with the texture mapping. The texture seems to be mapped in the wrong direction. As an example, see the text on the case in the following image:

Shadowmaps and out-door rendering
|
Hi
I would like to add shadow maps to my out-door scene.
The problem is that since the visible area is large, the result is very grainy.
What can I do to improve the visual quality of the shadows? |

Writing effect files for different type of hardware in DX

Hi
Up until now, all the effect files I wrote where designed for a specific hardware. This made things easy since I was always sure that the PS and VS versions I am using are supported by the hardware.

Problem with sprite scale

Hi
I have a problem with direct X sprite interface.
What I want to do is render something to a render target once and then display it on a small part of the screen for a few frames over the main scene (sort of an overlay).
My target is 2... |

Passing member function pointer
|
In C++ you may want to avoid the static function pointers and use object pointers (references) instead.
In general, you do not want to use a pointer to a member function in C++ (altough there are always exceptions) as this is more C like approch. |

Dog Fight

Can you do that kind of reflection without shaders? I think he is using stenciel reflection which is flat. |

Looks very good. I like the industrial theme.
What are you using for your engine (rendering, physics and so forth)?
Would be interesting to see how your project develops. |

Problem with lighting on terrain
|
It looks like you didn't calculate the normals properly or your lighting equation is wrong (if you are not using the fixed pipeline).
An easy way to calculate the vertex normals is to to average for each vertex the face normals it belongs to. i.e:... |

Shadow Mapping for large terrain - Help Needed!!!

Yup, the image looks bad...
Shadow for terrain is not an easy task. From the image I would say the calculation is completely wrong.
Rendering back faces of the terrain is not going to help you, since the terrain is not a closed shape (actually it... |
