simple box


44 polygons

Boxes and crates are fantastic, aren't they? I find it funny to see them in pretty much every indie or AAA title (and to observe their appearances, their usage and so on).



(Don't worry, I will not post any more Superku screenshots here, but I've just implemented those, too!)

@superku: there is an index which lists the time in games passed until you see the first crate/box. That's why valve added their crated right after the train opening in HL2, just for a high(in this case low) score

Haha that's pretty funny but I sadly could not find it via google. I remember an article that basically said "When you see a crate in a video game you know the level designer has run out of ideas.", it used a picture of CS 1.6, thus basically 10+ years ago and from then on until today I liked seeing them in a game.

don't forget barrels as another great level design element

@Superku, yes 1366 is a camera size constraint, inherited from shade-c vsm martix operations I still use, but maybe I'll rework it, when I can...

Edit: I found a workaround, and even 512x512 shadowmap size works and can produce acceptable quality over a relatively large area.

Finally I got a step further to solve my vertex welding problem in my voxel terrain thing. The artifacts you see are the chunk borders and an annoying rounding error I did concerning positive and negative coordiantes. I implemented a perlin noise generator to build random terrain.
I think I will kick the automatic normal calculation and calculate them myself to avoid the black borders and sharp edges.
Keep in mind that the terrain you see there is huge. It doesn't look like it, because the perlin frequency is too high.

did someone say barrels?

sivan@ will you us with a screen
txesmi@ your barrels looks great

I started to work on a simple music player.

It still is wip (worked on it for ~1 hour) but it works.



any ideas for a cool, animated background?
