Thuvs"s 3D Engine Demo

[DIIST]

Well it works, a tad bit fater than before:

Features:
Lighting,
Rotation,
Loading from file,
and primitive object(right now only a box, but i'll get there )

Next realease, hopefully :
cellshading,
culling,
more primitive objects. Get the ball rolling!
conversion from raw and arf formats to .seki files
documentations
and some serious optimizations


How to use:
Arrow keys to turn light!
Mose to rotate
Esc key to quit

edit: never saw it, now i do

edit2: very nice man i like the way the ship moves fluently. the flickering is kinda freaky cuz i didn't know it would do that right away. you should add moving stars in the bg, that'd be sick lol

gj, i like it

Okay, impressed youhave a omni system created, now I want to see you render a texture to the model. Then you can actually use this engine.

[DIIST]

I tried renedering textures before but fps drops quite a lot. .
But it will ber interesting, i'll give it a shot for the next realease.

[Geostigma]

Well the problem is that you want to make 3d in Turing, thats great. You should be able to do textures.

SNES had star fox which was a 3d game. If they could create a successful game on a shaddy snes engine, then why can you do the same with Turing? HOWEVER they just coloured the polygons because they couldn't do textures for your obvious reason.

Get selective poly colouring. and try to get a few ships move across the screen doing something to test the functionality of your engine.

Fortunately for the SNES programmers, they were using much more developed programming languages than Turing. Although, the high processing power in today's computers (compared to SNES) will probably balance it out.

[Geostigma]

Exactly.

Lates BugFixed Engine plus file chooser and a bunch of compatable meshes i got from this site,
+a lot faster thats for sure.

Trying to push for textures, and coloured polygons + easy to use functionality for next release.
Maybe enbeded objects if chem teacher lightens the load

[petree08]

Wow this program is crazy!
I thought 3d in turing was impossible
Thanks man for posting this

[DIIST]

Im getting close to doing textures. Check this out.

I basically used fractals to make it look like i applied a texture. The real thing will come when i start to quadsplice. Well the code for it is attached. + I forgot to send the meshes last time so i'll send that too .

[Geostigma]

game engines do use tri's so I don't know why your doing quad splicing unless its for textures

[DIIST]

Quads can free up resources when you are using square face planes like cubes. Cubes would render lot faster with quads than with triangles. Most 3d engines do both. I planing to do both but first bring textures to quad faces then tri's. Because i noticed coding for with quads is a lot easier than with triangles, especially for textures.

[Andy]

it's not hardware accelerated so it doesnt matter whether he uses quads or triangles. windows gdi will drow them as bitmaps so its all the same.

[DIIST]

So for this is how it looks! But it runs at 3FPS, once i make it go faster i'll post the code!

[program_x]

WOOT!! star fox for SNES!! i beat it many times, but thats not the point. i like the lighting but i agree, is there any way to speed it up ?
