Elysian Shadows

Hmm, I've been trying really hard with this, I've found numerous other open sourced examples and I've been studying a lot about BSP trees, but I swear I still have no idea what the problem is. My traversal code looks okay (to me).. I'm very unsure what to even look for anymore. FindLeaf() doesn't se...

You have not laid out precisely WHAT the problem IS. What you have labelled as "this does not work, either everything is visible or nothing is visible" . This is precisely how the PVS check is supposed to work. You're testing the leaf you're IN versus every other leaf in the map to see if...

Lately I've been studying a lot of Id Software's work, and I started on Quake III's BSP maps. I've got pretty much everything to work fine, I've got it rendering with frustum culling / material sorting and even lightmaps. But the PVS (Potentially visible set?) is being a real pain. From what I under...

Sorry it's taken so long to reply to this. Life is hell. The approach I took was to just (at initialization) compute the minimum and maximum value of each axis to create a bounding box for the mesh. It works pretty well, and if you generate one per each frame it's quite fine. (And quick). I do find ...

Woot! opportunity to learn stuff!

Let's say for example, we have 3 different meshes (or models) in 3D space, we needs to check if any of these three intersects with another. There are many ways of doing it, with spheres, hit boxes, per triangle, ray casting etc. BUT, let's say we're going to use a sphere or a hit box (per triangle i...

Thanks for the replies! It seems to only occur whenever the the vertices are close to the nearest viewpoint. (1.0). Or more specifically as Gino8 said, whenever some of the vertices are skipped from the clipping. If they are transformed to a reasonably distance away, it works fine. I guess OpenGL cl...

I swear my brain isn't working lately.... Say I have this array: static float CubeFace_Top[12] = { -1, 1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, -1 }; And this code: for ( int x = 0;x < 8;x++ ) { for ( int z = 0;z < 8;z++ ) { glPushMatrix(); glTranslatef((float)x, 0, (float)-z); glBegin(GL_QUADS); glVertex3f(...

I may just sit in a darkened room for a few days whilst I browse through it all

This seems like a vague question.

You're stressing over....compatibility issues?

We prefer to keep it in the archives rather than just deleting it altogether. That's why even the dumbest of dumb posts are kept in "Posts You Shouldn't Make". The only posts that ever get completely deleted are spam posts. We've migrated to a new host since the database overflow that cau...

superLED suggested a "Quick Question" topic, which made me think, would it be possible to have some section of the forum systematically clear itself out? For example, if it's a question that won't really be a benefit to others, why keep it hogging all the server space? Just figured it woul...

They're definitely not panicking. Microsoft who came up with this whole "DLL business" definitely don't seem to be panicking from the looks of their programs directories

Excellent emulator, very speedy considering. Some of us still use the original hardware though

I just broke my keyboard with drool!
