Yes, it is not that performant. I'm trying to increase the performance but i am bound to the vertex limit
Here is an updated screenshot, rendered on my NVIDIA. The previous screenshot was rendered with an Intel 4000.
I've added texture mapping support and improved block updating. Now you can change any block any time and the chunks will be updated correctly. A worst case update includes 4 chunks, in best case only one.


EDIT: I had fps_max = 60; in my main loop... It runs with more than 60 FPS i already started to wonder...

I've added support for custom block types.
A custom block can be created with all DynamicModels functions, here an example with copying an existing model into a block.

Me and my brother are currently working on a custom minecraft client (he does the main scripting in V.S. C#, and i do all the graphics / shader stuff), and when using another variable-type you can increase the # of max polygons. Atm. Every 16*16*256 chunk is a single mesh.

However I'm not sure if thats possible with the rendering pipeline Acknex uses.

no i don't think so...

i've built Kubus first in C# as well, based on OpenGL call lists. It was pretty fast as well, i've also built some kind of automatic view range adjuster that rendered at 60 fps with maximum view range. maybe i'll do something similar in lite-c but i don't know yet...

@Kartoffel: CustomMinecraft-CLients are not allowed!

Are you still working on this?
First thing I noticed: The bottom ring, the one sitting on the ground, is more detailed than the top ring. I would swap the two textures. Or, alternatively: Make the bottom ring just plain grey stone and add a rim of ornament only to the top ring (maybe a stripe in the middle of the place that you can sit on?)

I don't think I've ever seen ornament on the lowest ring...

yes i had been working on it, this is the final result so far:

Sorry, just had to put this in.


This does not mean it should not be done, or does it?

If anyone has heard of the website, StumbleUpon, then you understand the idea of what this is supposed to do.

I spent about 2 days writing this program to randomly generate QR codes that in theory I could scan and follow to a random website, or get a random block of text or something.



Unfortunately, not a single one of the codes generated have worked so far (about 200). The idea is good, but I guess it just takes some luck.

@rvL_eXile
The ring cup texture simmetry is very visible on its seams for my taste. A three stone pieces texture from bounds to bounds repeated without simmetries would look better I guess. I would also add tiles to the ring inside part to complement the nonporous bowl.

Great work indeed!
