3D Graphics Engine Progress

[mv2112]

AWESOME!
Need better screen capture software though...

[GroundUpEngine]

Man, that's looking awesome. Also your particle test was pretty badass.

awesome man :D

Thanks

Nice :D
Only thing that is a bit strange - on your hp the text says:

Requirements:
Windows and Linux

So do I need both operating systems in order to play the game? ;D

should be Winodws || Linux (but preferably Linux)

hah

AWESOME!

Agreed, I'll get some when i come back from holiday

I can't get onto youtube somehow
But thanks for all the positive comments and stuff!!!

H3LO PEOPL3 I HAEV FINISH3D MAH COD3!!!11!11 LOL 3NJOY TEH SHOW!

lil' side project: scriptable particle system
- Get some Lua implementation done
- Didn't like my old particle system, so this will replace it

Nice job bro, glad to see your back and getting to work

I've been busy for a week or so, but hopefully I can get off my arse and implement "Scriptable Particles" into the Engine, and also I could experiment with scripting AI

That's so cool man, I love the music too sick music (obviously not yours heh).
I think you should work out the fire particles some more though, doesn't really look too much like fire
What would you do? Like maybe set their path so a sine wave or something? I don't know, cool shit though man.

Also, I noticed the plane with the Rasta colors (I assume because of your trip to Jamaica haha )
Cool cool shit man.

Thanks man! Yeah the fire needs work, maybe a simple sine wave would do the trick
Hehe your only one to notice, I thought the colors look pretty sweet! (I'm not a Rasta though :P)

(I'm not a Rasta though :P)

You don't have to be one, just look like one, and people will hand you free weed like creeps with candy :D except they aren't as creepy and they smell like weed, and have cool hair :D

Update:

-> Update on GroundUpEngine Spec Sheet, including few minor improvements and achievements section at the bottom
http://groundupengine.webs.com/GroundUp ... etails.pdf

-> Screenshot of me working on my Editor, today I messed around with lighting inside maps.
Heavy improvements to come e.g. Collision Edit, Multiple Lights, Shader replacement

[eatcomics]

w00t I feel a vid coming up soon

[GroundUpEngine]

Update:

-> Another lil' side project, this time it's about Directory I/O
-> On a side note, there's currently 10784 lines of code in GroundUpEngine v1.8.5
-> Anyways just a small vid, enjoy

3D Engine
With the exception of a few 2D or isomorphic MMORPGs, almost every modern game now includes what is called a 3D engine. It is the job of the engine to take the mathematical description of objects, communicate them to your video card, and provide an animated world for you to experience. Most MMORPG companies license a third-party engine, but even then they will frequently need to perform a lot of low-level modifications that can only be done by advanced graphics programmers.

Also I'd like to personally congratulate the ES team on their recent productivity; this should mean a new AiGD soon! You guys rock!

Some progress with my latest side project, nothing much cus I been busy with college, etc.
A few projects I've recently seen, have inspired me to get of my ass and do something

Another lil' side project: client/server networking
- Get some basic client/server code done e.g. Sockets, Packets, Encryption
- Old networking system is mesy, broken, etc.. so this will replace it

[eatcomics]

sweet let us know how that implementation works... also... where did you learn your networking stuff... I've wanted to take a peek into the world of online game programming

[GroundUpEngine]

Will do! Anyways I started with WinSock2 a while back but know I use SFML's network implementation to make my own custom system, this concept is what I figured out by thinking of what is needed for some basic online play mostly using my imagination for the design, but also I learned a thing or two from college in networking course e.g. Client-Server Architecture, UDP vs TCP Sockets, etc... Google helps too I find :7

Couple of nice links ^^
