Procedural planet texture part 2
|
Last week I have implemented some cool new effects to the engine. Basically it's some post processing such as glow and motion blur. But in the background there is a nice threaded texture generator, that generates planet textures while the player move... |

Procedural planet textures

I hope you like them, they are still early stage. But there should be a significant increase before summer 2007. :)
They are all generated procedurally on different resolutions. Textures are generated at runtime, resolutions are based on... |

Procedural textures / displacements

Hi all. This is my first adventure into the world of procedural modeling and texturing. It's yet another wannabe synthetic planetery engine. Sofar i am only experimenting with perlin noise, but hope to get some real results it in the near future... |

Procedural approach
|
I would be interrested in ideas on procedural modelling, and everything related to the procedural topic that is done in real time.
I love the idea of a MMOG that sends minimal data through the network, and still get a huge procedural but very r... |

Why move to DirectX9 ?
|
What are the features Dx9 has extra compared to Dx8? I am just curious why everyone is moving to DirectX9 and why is it called "managed directx" ? I have downloaded the Dx9SDK, but only looked at the samples sofar, which seemed the same they hav... |

GeForceFX stripped to the bone

Hi
Does anyone know where I could find some real documentation about the GeForceFX chip ?
I am especially interrested in the register description, and everything related to the GPU as low level as possible.
I am looking for something stripped t... |

Bezier curves
|
I have a task to connect two bezier curves. What are bezier curves? Where can I find theory on bezier curves, and how do I connect them ? Also, could someone point me to some examples (preferrably with source code) ?

Function separator line in a RichTextBox
|
I am trying to implement a small procedure, that would add a horizontal line in a rich textbox.
The line should be similar to the one in VB6. It should not be copy-able,
it should simply just have to be a visible line. |

Visual Basic or C++ ?

I’ve been coding games for quite a time using Visual Basic.
But going commercial, at some firms would require a good understanding of developing games in C++.
I would like to ask you guys to post comments, pro or against the concept of making... |

I know it’s probably my fault, so i need some help on this one:

Procedural planet texture part 2

Ok. Here is the first demo. It is not the official one, but a pre-pre demo release . It does not yet feature all the things i have work in progress, but it shows the basic functions.
Read the readme file first!!

Procedural planet texture part 2

Careful about my "atmosphere" implementation: it's a very cheap technique, that only works for planets viewed from outer-space!
I am using a blank untextured sphere (white color) that is slightly bigger then the planet I am rendering. Next I... |

- I am using a modified version of libNoise
- The textures are based mainly on distance, and there are 10 levels of generation that varry both on resolution and octave count.
- There is also a basic caching function, that stores textures... |

Procedural planet texture part 2

The stars in the background:
- I Disable the Z-buffer
- I use a big sphere around the player, that is textured with a procedural texture, using very low shades of blue colors for the gradient.
- Next I render a set of random points for the static... |

Procedural planet textures

Sure. I am using the code to generate Perline noise mostly from the explanations found at libnoise.sourceforge.net. You have an opensource noise library there.
From there you have to read a bit about perlin noise and general procedural techniques... |

1. The maximum level is based on distance: "The closer you get the bigger the texture resolution and the more octaves to generate it"
2. Not yet. I am still experimenting with the building of the planet texture. But its a good idea, thanks. I... |

Btw: I also have an idea for a possible game using a cartoonish-procedural unvierse, and thats why i did the exagerated displacements. Spoore looks funn :D
And am looking forward to read more about the simplex noise functions. I read perlins docs... |

Thanks for the replys. The project / experiment is still in it's eraly infancy stage, where i am trying to get a feel of how to control the noise functions.
Im trying to create a way to dynamically connect several noise modules. I actualy got the... |
