well all the more reason to finish that engine

oh well , don't like making art though

anyway, got basic physics/collision working =D

Just a quick update: physics and collision are now implemented, though they still need some work. If somebody is interested about the collision library: I'm using ODE atm.

Here is a little shot with 1000 spheres (more spheres...), all physics and collision enabled:

Inestical seems to have wan the bloom battle. Oh well, I was only a day late . Anyway here is EOF3D built-in bloom:




The bloom works in the following way: the scene is first down sampled to 256x256 (faster to blur a smaller image), then it is blurred vertically and then horizonally, and finally the original scene and the blur is combined with the following equation: pixel = original+blur*blur

Fairly easy eh? At the start I was having some serious problems with render to textures (basically they didn't render to texture) but then I noticed that I had made a funny mistake and used the wrong function for rendering to textures. Actually I had always thought that the function that I used before noticing my mistake was the correct function, but that function was probably meant for uninitialized textures. I was using a initialized one. Oh well, now it works, and that's the main thing .

Hmmm... strange. If you added the blurred picture why there are dark seams around the balls? By adding everything should only get brighter, not more dark.

Here it comes! Bloom improved.



Current bloom pipeline:
- Downscale scene and run a high pass to detect high intensities
- Blur downscaled and downscale to half
- Blur downscaled and downscale to half
- Blur downscaled
- Combine the original and the 3 downscaled blurs

woooo, nice

pluuuum! yesssss! really, i like it.

What kind of framerates are you getting with your physics and collision enabled spheres WITH Bloom?

Just curious.
