I wrote a small tutorial on how to export models from World of Warcraft and import them to Panda3D with animations. The tutorial and example code is availible here.

TERRAble update

Febuary 29th, 2008

Few screenshots from the TERRAble project. First one shows the mesh, it's very high resolution right now but that's mostly just because I have the power to render it. The mesh moves with you and is vertically offset by a heightmap texture.
Second screenshot shows how the terrain is partitioned into Mip-levels.
Third one shows it rendered real-time @ 1900x1200 in 66 fps.


Next on the agenda is more realistic athmosphere/fog, water with propper reflection/refraction, vegitation and better lighting.

TERRAble

January 11th, 2008

I just got the green light for an independent study project at school that I applied for. A short description of it would be somewhat a continuation of my Computer Graphics course, focusing on shaders and terrain rendering techniques.
Everything I've set out to learn for the "course" will be applied to the same project, which will end in a (hopefully) very feature rich and modern terrain rendering engine with alot of performance enhancing techniques.
I'll dedicate a part of the site to it soon, when I have something worth interesting showing.
Ps. The header of the site is actually a screenshot of a prototype that I made for this project

Christmas break...

December 18th, 2007

School is over and that means i finished RMultiChat. It's most likely nothing you'd be interested in using, but perhaps the multithreaded udp/tcp listner/sender interests you...
It's a program that implements several algorithms from Distributed Systems, mainly Reliable Multicasting...

Either way.. one less thing on my to-do list.

At last...

December 10th, 2007

Finally got around to creating a webpage to organize and distribute some of my random programming projects. Still very much a work-in-progress, and therefore some pages might be missing or incomplete.
Not intended to be a blogsite, because.. I don't blog.
I'll however use this news-space to notify of updates or additions to my project list.
