Visual Studio 2010 creates both .lib and .exe
|
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Express. For whatever reason, the linker does not only create an executable file (.exe) as instructed, but also a library file (.lib). I've triple-checked the configuration settings but can't find what's causing this... |

A compromise between component-based entity systems and object-oriented designs

I've been reading a lot lately about component-based entity systems as opposed to classical object-oriented approaches. I don't like the classical approach for the reasons stated by numerous posters but I've never warmed to the component-based design... |

Rendering text without a recreation of the vertex buffer

Hi!
I am looking for a way to render text efficiently. so far I've tried two options, both of them being neither fast nor very elegant:
option #1 - Create a vertex buffer which contains all the glyphs at startup and then render each glyph indiv... |

Freetype 2: Creating a hash map to access glyphs from unicode characters

i've finished a basic font rendering system using Freetype 2. So far I just specify all the characters to be loaded from a font face in an array. I would like the system to be more flexible though, and allow not only for extended roman lett... |

Rendering a skybox on a fullscreen quad

Hi! I want to render a skybox on a fullscreen quad using a cube map. How can I compute the view vector for the cube map lookup? usually I'd do camPos-vertexPos (or wouldn't I?) but as the vertices do not correspond to an actual box I need to fin... |

Thanks for the quick response! I don't, though. Does this also happen if my application links to libraries which do this? |

Portfolio critique, please.

I don't like your style of writing. I'm not a native speaker so maybe it's just me, but it just feels a bit too informal. What does have a link to a funny cartoon of Luigi on skis to do on a professional portfolio? |

glLoadIdentity and glTranslatef
|
bear in mind that matrix stack operations have been depreciated a while ago and do not work in the opengl 3.0+ core profiles! better grab GLM or a similar library to do the job. |

Opengl and Scenes

nope, that's the way you do it. when you've advanced a bit (well quite a bit) you can have a look at things like instancing to speed up rendering the same model several times a frame but in general, this is how it's done. you load your meshes from fi... |

New Futurama episodes

I wouldn't call these "plot holes" because it's obvious the makers are aware of them and because such inconsistencies are so frequent in futurama that i rather consider them to be running gags. it's like when the professor explains what just happened... |

What makes this any less a "Mesh" than your other "Mesh"?
One structure contains actual data (vertices, indices, pixels) while the other merely contains references to buffers in graphics card memory. So while the fi... |

A compromise between component-based entity systems and object-oriented designs

Quote:Original post by Hodgman
I modeled mine around the way that physics middleware works (in my experience). Usually you don't set up hierarchies of objects, you just create joints/constraints between them.
Ok, that is a convincing argument.

Thank you all for your replies! So your basic concern with my approach is the confusion caused by hierarchies.
But what exactly is the difference between my approach..
