apparently I need too much information on-screen

with debug shader showing clusters:

without debug shader:


but at least no major issues, better behaviour for the price of worse performance, allowing lower unit quantity. so now a bit different game-play is planned...

One more Asset

That speed modeling video is pretty cool and interesting!

Had an idea for a technique on the river in Canada yesterday to display mountains full of trees like I see them here every day. The idea is to only transfer basic data to the graphics card (a 32x32 RGB texture in the following example and a simple mountain mesh) and use that to create and render a bunch of (what I call) virtual sprites. Runs on almost 300fps on my laptop, depending on how much area of the screen is covered with trees. Maybe that technique could be extended to render fur but that will get more complicated and slower, and right now it's still full of bugs too.

Awesome last 3 post, and here I was just listening to some fool tell me how usual this engine is.

to be fair rvl's post is not engine spec, but still a awesome use of this community.

@rvL_eXile
Cool work, as always
but your texture colors are so unsaturated...

Thx for the Feedback guys
@Superku and Anyone else... Interested in some more Speed Art?
But only with smaller assets, cuz one fully modeled / textured Building with anything on it will be to time consuming

@txesmi

For one only Reason...
I Like it
I dont like this Colorfull rainbow tasty happiness lucky... Style.
I like more the:
Darker Abandoned Dirty used... Style

@Malice

Thanks Malice for these kind of Words
Youre Right, all images ive shown so far are made Directly out of Blender, without any Lighting / Shaders or what else





One more Image, Just to show the Modeling(Solid).


(Yeah ive created the Frontdoor, but the Texture is not finished yet )

EDIT:
ive already noticed that the door is to broad... Changed it

So Far:
Tris: ~15.000
Textures Used: many, havent optimized it yet

Hope u Like it

Regards Sebastian

I was sure of that

Update: A wild Door appears.... *Pokemonbattlemusicplaying*



Like or Dislike or Suggestions?

@Superku: That's really cool! I'd love to see an explanation of how it works!

@rvL_eXile: Looking good but something about the glass area bugs me a little. Maybe it's the broken glass itself (maybe less detail/ "bumps" could look more natural) or that someone with a house like that would not spend that much time on cutting out perfectly fitting wooden parts to replace those 2 windows. But that's being overly picky.

@JibbSmart: Thanks! I use the pixel's world pos of the simple tree mesh (which is a z-extruded copy of the mountain mesh) and read the mountain height from a 32x32 bmap (without filtering, resulting in 32x32 trees). The idea now is to create a "virtual sprite" facing the camera (which is just a position and an x(y)z normal (DX coordinates), calculate the intersection with the (worldPos-vecViewPos) directional vector and tex2D a "clamp"-tree-texture (the next step is to use a tree texture atlas for variation and clamp and shift the Tex coordinates manually).
