New demo

[Humus]

It's been a while since the last demo, but I'm not dead yet.

Get it here as usual:
http://esprit.campus.luth.se/~humus/

Feedback welcome as usual. Suggestions for new demos are also welcome since I've been very dry on ideas lately.

With GLSL extensions enabled (56.64) there is no fire.

 

[Jallen]

Try the 56.72 drivers.

Works great on a 9700pro with Cat 4.3

Allthough there seems to be a problem if I navigate "under" the "earth", as I can still see the fire even if I'm (more or less) directly below it.

But aside from that, quite nice.

 

[hoom]

Cool, fire

Now where'd I put my marshmellows

[edit]could you stack the wood a bit more realistically?[/edit]

 

[Mendel]

looks nice. Really needs a heat haze effect though

That's what I would typically expect. Back-facing polygons won't modify the depth buffer (usually they're totally thrown out of the pipeline for efficiency). You should notice that in any game that doesn't have the greatest collision detection (Everquest comes to mind, if you're in wolf form), or has a no-clipping mode, that this behavior is pretty normal.

 

[hoom]

Yeah, heat haze would be great

Got a question for ya Humus

Since NV4x will support PS3.0 (and assuming you could get your hands on one) will you continue to write demos that are on the level of R3xx, or would you experiment with some demos, even if only those running nv4x could run them?

Trying an answer:

Yeah, he'll write PS3.0 apps but we'll only see them next year.

Edit: Don't know about VS3.0, though...

Coold demo

How about some form of animated crystal figure? Lots of refractions and reflections which would be cool imho.

 

[Humus]

Entirely impossible!
Seriously, I'm not sure I understand what's so unrealistic with the way it's stacked, or what is more realistic in your opinion.

Maybe the day we get the GL_EXT_render_target extension. Don't like the current pBuffer solution.

Well, I don't know how the R420 and NV40 will compare on the feature side, but I'm going to be focusing on the R420 anyway. I'm not going to write any NV40 only demos. It wouldn't work very well with my employment at ATI (which I'm still waiting for the work permit for ... damn bureaucracy).

Sorry for OT: Hi humus, I'm from Piteå so we are practically neighbours

Actually, I've been thinking about doing a crystal demo. Though I'd need 4D textures for my particular technique.

Hello fellow neighbour.

 

[Doomtrooper]

How about combining your terrain rendering with some of the other effects like this one and have a benchmark mode..

 

[ChrisRay]

Hey I like this demo actually. The Stars ect, great usage

Ok,I found it a bit odd, but after your explanation I understand a bit more. Thank you for the explanation
