Collision detection with depth buffer as only information

Hi
I have a depth buffer as the only information of the geometrical constitution of a scene. I would like to know the best way to perform collision detection between an arbitrary object and the scene? Can I use the depth buffer directly or shou... |

Compression with YCoCg or other model?

Hi
I got 3 textures with similiar hue but different luminance. I want to compress the textures from 3->2. Therefore I was thinking of using the YCoCg model and store the independent Y's in one texture and the average CoCg in another.
I wa... |

If you get offers like
x month contract position at £xxx per day
What does that mean in reality? If we are talking well-established studios. If you have to work 6 days in a week due to milestones, will you get paid for 6 days or just 5? I guess... |

I was thinking of using ddx & ddy to obtain the u tex coord derivate in screen space, but they always return 0 in my code:
VS_OUTPUT VS( float4 pos : POSITION, float3 norm : NORMAL, float2 uv : TEXCOORD0)
{

Vertex cache optimization still worthwile?

Interesting question. I have noticed that post transform caching can give huge benefits in certain situations. Isn't the ptc generally implemented as a FIFO queue? And probably a certain piece of the IB would be processed on the same processor g... |

I have worked very little with java. But can't you just disable clearing of the render target each frame and use alpha blending when drawing each new frame. |

Collision detection with depth buffer as only information

Let say that the scene is static except for the objects bouncing around; then the collision mesh didn’t have to be computed in real-time. Is there such algorithms?
If I would look into using depth buffer directly, I do have the beginning of an i... |

Sounds like a very interesting application - hopefully you can show some results once you get it working!
This type of a problem can be approached with a classification technique, such as a Support Vector Machi... |

I guess any color model that separates luminance from color would be suitable, however YCC has the nice property of a comparably extremely cheap transformation from/to RGB, wheras HSV/HSL or even more complex formats o... |

If you have no other information to go on, assume a normal work week.
You will need to get additional details before agreeing to the job.
Contracts are open to negotiation. That kind of contract is general... |

What to expect in tech interviews (game dev companies)?
|
Expect the unexpected. Some companies only requires a small chat (usually the ones who wish to expand fast). Other times you have to go trough tests that lasts for days.
Many interviews start with a written test though (0.5 - 1.5 hours). |
