pre-alpha version. but i dont think i'm going to carry on development of this project. its good for rendering 3d objects. but.. lacks movement etc.. ah and heh boy those 2 are going to kill me if i say this: its by far the most accurate rendering engine i've seen on compsci so far Mr. Green (oh and y turing? dont ask.. long story)

PS: built on a completly different (new) code-base
PPS: included the other engines as well Rolling Eyes

if a .raw file is corrupt.. dl them from here:
smurf
spacestation2
spacestation
woman
bridget
sphere
balloon

PPPS: oh and its recomended to have 2ghz of processing power at the least Laughing

impressive... though... you seem to have some glitch in rendering the sphere Confused few faces are rendered before they should and get covered Thinking

yep.. aware of that heh. i didn't add the algorithm to do the sorting.

Now, did you include those other engines so that we may consider all 3 in entirely objective stances?

Or just for gloatware?

Eitherway, it's still pretty darn cool...and it ran well on my 900 MHz Athalon...though it did take about 20 seconds for the smuft to begin loading...

Far too much complexity in those files to bother looking at...I probably wouldn't understand anyhow...I'll just stick to manageable 2D...

So, tell us the story, of 'why Turing'. I'm sure we're all anxious to hear...Wink

objective stance or gloatware.. heh ur choice.
(actually i didn't even know i had added them in unitl i dl'd the file my self and extracted it)

what exactly do u mean by accurate? Laughing

oh and if ur gonna include my engine at least use the newer version

when i try to extract the files i get like 66 errors because all the files are corrupt...

yep.. no idea y.. but its usually just the .raw files.. dl them from the links above

its not just the raw files... when i decompress all i get is empty folders... n souce files or anything

by accurate i meant perspective correct interpolation. but the newer version appears to be quite accurate heh. yet i can't really tell.. how do i zoom?


EDIT: figured it out nvm

futher y is it i can;t zoom in much.. after a point it the object appears smaller

that is strange.. cuz i just did tried extracting it my self.. works prefectly.

oh thats the object passing through the camera
i never really finished this engine because i started a new one which was more advanced (which i also never finished Laughing)

Catalyst...I'm curious, what is your avatar all about?

he's a very curious guy. Laughing

its a fractal (from the julia set most of the time)

Curious me...hehehe.

I figured it was a Julia thingy...but is there any significance to the fact that it changes with each refresh of a page? Or is that just a cool effect?

theres a php script running off my server randomly generating a fractal each time it is accessed

Once again...I'm aware of that too.

When I said significance...I was speaking aesthetically...

not really, but i did limit the initial values to around -.79,.16 because that when it looks the coolest Very Happy
