Generate a random unit vector.
|
Are there any well-known ways to quickly generate a random unit vector in 3D space?
Heres what I'm doing now: (In C++)
Vector(rand()%100 - 50,rand()%100 - 50,rand()%100 - 50); // I could exchange the rand for a mersenne twister I suppose.

Metaballs Demo

Someone integrated some nice Metaball code into Irrlicht, so I optimized it a bit, and added refraction and reflection with fresnal. I figured someone on here would get a kick out of staring at shiny, blobby stuff.

Ship Variety Shader

Hey guys I was messing around with shaders and I made one from scratch (Probably the first time I made one from scratch instead of converting others to suit my needs.). It is highly influenced by Ysaneya's ship shading (But not quite as goo... |

Scripting
|
Hi guys, this is BlindSide, I entered a game into the 4E4 contest, "Susano". If you play it you will notice it is a very simple game, and lacks some functionality story-wise. That aside I thought it was pretty decent for my first ever C++ program :D.... |

Improved PCF Shadowmaps

Quote:Original post by doronf
4 samples based bilinear filtering is implemented in hardware this days so you don't have to do the calculation manually. Unfortunately, this type of filtering can not be applied directly to shadow maps because it will... |

Improved PCF Shadowmaps
|
IMHO I think that a common misconception is that taking 4 samples and averaging them out is considered PCF. Think about it "Percentage closer filtering". Where in this operation are you taking into account the "percentage closer" part? Infact, I have... |

XNA - Texture wrapping stopped working moving from Xbox to Windows
|
How does it look with TextureAddressMode.Mirror? Does it still clamp?
That aside, the art looks absolutely wonderful! Especially on the tv set. |
