Does it count if it reads the source from its source file?

I don't like the blur, so i'll say worse.

It really all depends on what your end-goal is.

Basically just some form of antialiasing, it looked a little too much as well to me, was wondering what people thought though

ill come back when i have anything interesting :v:

Edit:
[QUOTE=Chris220;28932477]Looks more blurry than anti-aliased :P[/QUOTE]
Thats because its essentially a blur.. :P

Am I the only one that's annoyed when people, instead of replying to a new post, edit their post that was BEFORE THE NEW POST?

Working on MeshView again, finally figured out the last bit of the file .msh format:

[img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5013896/forum/Facepunch/Programming%20WAYWO/MeshView/WeightReuse.png[/img_thumb]

The shaders apparently only support up 27 bones, so weightmaps are reduced to that number of bones and transformations are passed to the shader based on a lookup table for a range of triangles. I really should have seen this months ago.

Alright, so I finally completed & sent off my Steam submission a few days ago. Uni has been keeping me busy so it's taken a while but here's some stuff:

Demo of gameplay for the submission (8 minutes):

(if anyone has any tips on how to get decent quality in YT videos that'd be nice, mine never seem to come out very well)

and some pics (warning: big)

Now that's out of the way I can clean up the code and work on more stuff for custom levels. It'd be cool to have a place where people could upload their levels and then the game would download them (+thumbnails) into the browser, but that's probably beyond my capabilities.

oh also I'll probably be looking for some testers soon. more on that later

Whoa, some rudimentary batching later:

This looks amazing! You definitely deserve the Steam publish. Moreso than Joshyy. Good luck man!

Tadaaaaa:
This actually originated by a weird error, better or worse than not messing around with anything?

Did you make the music yourself? If not where did you get it that allows you to sell it?

[QUOTE=layla;28933358]What game is that from?[/QUOTE]

Titan Quest.

I've written a few other tools for it, but I think the mesh library was the most challenging. I learned a lot about 3D programming while working on it though.

[Ananace]

Well, I got cached rendering working (Mostly)
Here's a bug I have right now, where the bottom right image is the render target saved to file

Optimism! I'm sure you can, all it takes is time.

[QUOTE=DeadKiller987;28933670]Did you make the music yourself? If not where did you get it that allows you to sell it?[/QUOTE]

I did not make it. I'm in contact with two composers who offered their services around the time I posted the project on ModDB. I need to get back in contact with one of them...

Anyhow, my C++ studies have been going slooow.
I've been learning namespaces :buddy:

[cpp]#include <iostream>

namespace stuff {
char str[] = "Testing namespaces.\n";
}

int main()
{
namespace s = std;
using s::cout;
using s::cin;
using s::endl;

char str[] = "Not in a namespace.";
cout << stuff::str << str << endl;

cin.get();
return 0;
}[/cpp]

Having never really done C++ extensively, this is all guesswork, but wouldn't

namespace s = std;

remove any memory advantages you're trying to gain by only using certain aspects of std, since you've copied the entire namespace to a variable?

I've only learned that you can reduce the size of a name of a namespace like that. That's what I did, I have no idea about memory. I wouldn't do that while working on anything real though.

That's awesome. I wish I knew someone that would just give me music and art for games. I have to learn programming first though.

I don't think namespaces are a variable type in C++. It just tells the compiler how to interpret s.

[DeadKiller987]

XoaX.net is so much better than thenewboston. XoaX explains everything and, by the looks of it, correctly. Thenewboston neither explained everything, nor did he do things correctly.
