Aw no Dean Roland in that vid. They're fantastic, you'll love that show.

Caught em here in Dallas at the Granada in 2005.

Calculate sin and cos once. Those two functions are costlier than anything in that whole shabang there.

Oh man, chock this up to one of those "You might be getting old if...." ...."you remember someone actually OWNING a 3DO" threads :D Haha, but seriously, I think I was 12 when those things came out and they required a small loan to purchase. Of course then computers weren't any ch...

I'm soooo depeched....give me the cure :]

Hm..I've got Mastodon on now. Just listened to some Tool for the first time in a DAMN long time.

Got alotta NIN on here, Faith no more, Tomahawk, Tripping Daisy, QOTSA, Kyuss, Failure. Depeche mode.

I do like some liquid drum & bass on occasion :]

Well hmm, then there's probably just some way I'm not saying it for it to click. Popping the matrix would have no effect on the primitives' transformation. As I said in my prior post, all vertex assembly occurs IMMEDIATELY at the conclusion of the glEnd of a glBegin/glEnd pair, so you can be assured...

The negated translation is very simple. An object's position is simply expressed as the *VECTOR* from the local origin to that particular position. If you think of the world position in terms of a vector as opposed to a POINT (the object position is the origin (point) plus the vector to get there an...

Really? That's interesting.

Correct, in general matrix multiplication is not commutative. MN != NM

Read the above post so that you understand whats going on. Then this is what you'll be looking at (if indeed your positions ARE the *center* of the object to be rotated): glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glPushMatrix(); glTranslatef(rectangle->getPosition()->x, rectangle->getPosition()->y, rectangle->get...

Then we translate to the center of the rectangle (happens first because of matrices multiplication) Once the command is done, it's done. It's not done when the matrix is popped, it's done when the semicolon is hit. As such, you aren't really subject to order of operations, which is what your senten...

While a few of my team members are on break, I am working on several proof of concept realtime graphics demonstrations using a minimal OpenGL framework. I'll also be releasing the source with them and probably doing some video commentary. The first of which I've recently posted over at: http://elysi...

This is a demonstration of our implementation of Screen Space Ambient Occlusion or SSAO. This attempts to approximate ambient occlusion in real time which has typically been reserved for the offline rendering domain. First proposed by Crytek in 2008, this is a short demonstration of our version of t...

int a = 20; // This is value assignment and is valid.


int a;
a = 20; // This is an executable piece of code and is NOT valid in the global scope.

Well, any time you have alpha blended faces you'll need to do a proper sort. Generally you'd do a pass w/ the opaque geometry front to back w/ blending disabled. By rendering front to back you can make use of early z-rejection and on some video cards double speed or quadruple speed depth writes (nor...
