Wow, thanks for all the feedback and comments! (i didn't expect so much positive feedback to be honest )
MUCH appreciated!



I totally agree with you. Unfortunalley i didn't had the time to create a nice moving camera and add paths for it. Instead i had to manually move the camera as best as i could and make a video out of it. The camera rotation really s**** (Guess that's because of my shaking hand as a result of me not sleeping that much in the last weeks ^^ )



As already stated, this is just a tweaked fur shader. It toally works for this video and it also will work great for 3rd person or strategy games. However if you need grass for a 1st person game, this grass shader won't work for you. Actually it would look awful



"Yes" and "that's right" I threw together code from all over the net, can't point you to a specific website i'm sorry. The grass shader will be in the next version of shade-c so you can have a look at it. I'm also thinking of creating a fur shader which reacts to gravity. That should be very doable from what i can tell



I sent these videos plus some other non A7 things to the universities. I got two replies some days ago: So far 2 of 3 universities (3rd one didn't reply yet) like my work and invited me to a test/interview I also have to do some kind of homework which i have to bring along to these interviews.



I just baked the shadows in cinema4d. They are just simple static shadows, nothing fancy



Again, thanks for all the comments! It really is a nice feeling when people like you work!

It does not look like a shaking hand. The stuttering is too conistent. It looks like something technical like fps independent movement code or low fps or similar. I can only guess from the video.

Respect on the shader side, very impressive !!

Cheers

FRazzle

can't be low fps, machinery_frank, though that was my first thought as well. but the rest goes far too smoothly for that, I guess, as he said, it's just his code that he didn't have more time for.

I'd definately like to see that grass shader in a 3rd person game ... looks so cool

looks really nice.

Very impressive work.
Your shaders work very well.
Are you student ? Are you student in a high school
or in a school dedicated for 3d students ?
regards.

I'm studying informatics at an university at the moment. However I'm currently in the process to change to a more game/art oriented university and will then study either media design or game design depending on which university takes me

OK I was thinking it would be a bad idea to not say this at least.

When going to an interview to a game design course ask which game companies/industries acknowledge their program and recognise their degree as legitamite to game industry requirements.

Or if that sounds too harsh just ask which companies regularly turn up to talent hunt graduates or whether industry people come to give talks.

Not trying to scare you at all but just saying that is one question which is NEVER asked by interviewees. "How does this degree link with the industry?"

looks very professional

Just wanted to tell you guys that i made it into an university
Starting on 29.09.2008 I'll be an official "Intermedial Design - Games" student! A7 helped me to get into an university, how cool is that?! Woooo!
