Sculptris - Adaptive mesh sculpt editor
|
This started out as an experiment in triangle tesselation and has turned into a relatively complex 3D editor over the last three weeks. The idea was to build a tool where I could sculpt a piece of virtual clay freely without worrying about tesselatio... |

Framebuffer extrapolation for raytracing
|
This is a quirky little experiment I undertook about a week ago, but which I had been pondering for a number of months earlier.
The demo implementation is simple and limited, but the basic idea is to take advantage of frame-to-frame coherency of a (... |

It's not related to voxels. This is pure triangle mesh editing - the internal representation is only vertices, edges and triangles.
Sharing code - maybe, later. I want to have my fun with it first. Not planning on locking it up for no go... |

Yeah, the technique won't work very well with typical "show-off" raytracing effects like crazy reflections/specularity, but rather for more every-day stuff where you're actually trying to make something look like a realistic environment. Transparency... |

shurcool: Yeah, I actually tried that same peripheral blurring trick in Photoshop myself recently to prove a point in a discussion - but as you also discovered, regular gaussian blur doesn't really do the trick for static images. I found that a blur... |

Thanks for the interesting links. Indeed they seem very similar to what I'm doing. As per my typical routine though, I tend not to research prior work related to ideas I have, since reading up on tons of completed research would spoil all the fu... |

DrewGreen: Don't worry. It seems to be a common reaction, and something I sort of expected. It's probably impossible to do well on your first attempt, you have like 1 second to find the right key and press it :)
My game is definitely one y... |

Hmm... car physics eh? Might have been, I tend to do that :P
EDIT: Ah, the profile page has been fixed - you mean Island Racers? I remember commenting on that one, yeah.
I'm fairly surprised I did so well considering how harsh my game a... |

scgrn: Yay, now it works! Indeed it plays smoothly, and it's surprisingly hard too! I can't understand why the cheese beams keep insisting on just barely missing the monkeys, it always causes me to steer right in front of one and end up bei... |

matt_j: Yours was cool, took me a while to get what I was supposed to do (just fired at the falling debris at first), but when I did it was like "Woah, it's Lemmings! sort of..." :)
Not very challenging, true. And not much variety, but it's a cool... |

That's an awfully big obsession with color use for a compo that was supposed to not be about graphics... imho ;)
Anyways, you actually got scgrn's entry to run? Now I _really_ want to play it :)
Also, did you ever fall through an upward-facing... |

If it's that close then maybe you should call in a few additional judges, both to make it easier and to ensure it's a fair decision. |
