Non-polygonal technology

Hi lgdt

I would love to download your program but it is not available from the link you posted.

Can you email it to me and I can host it on my free webspace for other people to download as well (assumming it is under 4 MB ).

Regards,

misae

 

I would love to send it to you if I knew your email address.

I would love to know, why it is not available to you, because it is available to me right now.

Its size is 74 798 bytes.

And thanx for the hosting.

 

Hi the email address is in the PM i sent you.

Erm scratch the PM message... I still need it as it just wont download from your server.. got stuck at 2.5kb of the download

 

An often heard complaint about implicit surfaces and the like is the problem with collision detection. There are surface descriptions (bezier patch for example) that have control points that form conservative convex hulls. These convex hulls could be used for coarse collision detection.

Shadowmaps and stuff like that will be impossible with such surfaces without tesselating and automatic shadowmap extrusion

 

I believe you're thinking of shadow volumes. Shadow maps can handle 'anything' which is why the original shadow map paper "Casting Curved Shadows on Curved Surfaces" (by Lance Williams - Trilinear/MIP mapping inventor) is titled the way it is

 

You're absolutely right, i ment shadow volumes! What can I say, it was late

 

here's a non-poly realtime raytracer!

 

Anyone have a link to that Japanese DX10 paper?
