Image Description, by
heres some of the stuff ive been working on the last 2 weeks, not shown is my
collision detection/physics research ( though i might
dump that and use Russell L. Smith's dynamics library ODE which looks very
promising ) anyways the above shots have come about
because ive decided to up the minimum requirements for götterdämmerung to at
least a hardware t+l card. Im figuring when I finally
release götterdämmerung, geforce256's will be the voodoo1's of today :(. As we
all know hardware t+l == polygon pusher, but a lot of
polygons == lot of storage. so what ive been doing is procedurally generating
the models/textures (and sussing out how to do this
very fast during runtime) the trees at the top were 'grown' using a variation of
'grammer models' (see cgp+p for a description) the
rocks/wood etc at the bottom are noise generated. the top shot has about 200,000
polys so even my vanta is able to handle it (single
digit fps though :( ) which aids testing but I will prolly up the count when I
get my hands on a hardware t+l card.
