well it depends on what you want to accomplish. The example in my video might not be the best one, since I didn't optimize the mesh at all. So you don't really need as many polygons as shown in the video! Imagine you wanted to morph a plane to a nose. You would take the mesh of the nose... and flatten it until it's a…
Thanks @"Eric Chadwick"! I don't think its a terribly heavy shader. It relies on the smoothstep function and the graphics hardware's internal automatic bilinear filtering. Both of which should be available to OpenGL ES devices. I tested the scene at the "Android" OpenGL ES2 rendering feature level and the distance field…
rollin: Oh, I think I worked it out, "legendary wool milk pig" (thanks to a colleague who speaks some German), I understand now! Thanks :) haiddasalami: Currently I'm just writing the importer, so the bulk of it is parsing the file format, reading in each block of data and storing/using it appropriately. For example once I…
Hi people, I'm about to properly start work on my first game, but before I do I'm just posting this demo showcasing a few things. The main thing being 3D sphere to triangle collision detection. Also some basic dynamic lighting and fast culling. Regarding culling, this pseudo game level has 54,000 polygons, which represents…
