[Resolution Independence]

wow this is really cool.

[Beta update available]

1 crawler : 550 fps

16 crawler : 320 fps

 

I just used the mdl and the simpleanimationscript.

No character controller.

[Game Launcher Updated]

Looks good, but Category clicks doesn't work.

[Initial Thoughts on VR]

VR is expensive, and not for the common gamer I'd think. Might be cheaper later.

 

Finally, post-processing effects are pretty much a thing of the past

Shadertoy seems to have an entire VR section to their flat pixel shaders :-)

[Game Launcher Custom Widget]

Keep it dark themed, I like it that way

[Subwindows!]

@gamecreator

The firepit has a spritesheet shader, feel free to use

No script required.

[Leadwerks MaxGUI Driver]

But this is now C++ not Max?

[More Widgets]

how to initialize gui?, this draws a button all over my screen (with a small text)

 

--Create a GUI
local gui = GUI:Create(context)

--Create a new widget
local button = Widget:Create(20,20,300,50,gui:GetBase())

--Set the widget's script to make it a button
button:SetScript("Scripts/GUI/Button.lua")

--Set the button text
button:SetText("Button")

[Widget Progress]

This is really great!

[Lua or C++?]

From my own experience I do combine sometimes. Lua is very good for the object script system and you can with some planning get a tidy scripted game.

However lua sucks on math and other procedural stuff like simplex noise (which are all math)

 

So what you can do, is to write the intensive parts in c++ and just expose yourself to lua.

 

The drawback is that you can't deploy on the player, but need and download and installation, which might scare away some players.

imagemagick ?

[Improved 2D Drawing Command Set]

Sorry I missed :

Buffer:SetCurrent(self.mybuffer)

before doing context, I see what you did here. Thanks for the example. I didn't know you could do this.. awesome.

 

Edit: had a chance to run it, works great and I updated your example script slightly.

[Improved 2D Drawing Command Set]

Mack, I think you misunderstand, I want to draw text to a texture. DrawText() is context command which is not a part of Render(), I think?

Show me how to draw text onto a texture using DrawText(), decals are not text.

[Improved 2D Drawing Command Set]

Yey, this is cool if we can do Draw* on textures instead of just context.

You could before.

But we could already you say? how?

[Improved 2D Drawing Command Set]

so now we can render text onto anything 3d?

[GUI Design]

who does 4:3 nowdays?

[More GUI Design]

Yes, and functions like GUI->DrawText() would also work on all three?

[Beta update available]

Ok I added this function which I know nvidia accepts and intel does not:

 

float testfunc(float x, float y=1.0)
{
return x*y;
}

 

it compiles ok using F6, but using F5 it now shows an error in line 28

 

Validating vertex shader...
Validating pixel shader...
Error validating pixel shader.
Warning, version 400 is not yet complete; most version-specific features are present, but some are missing.

[Beta update available]

Nvidia accepts almost everything you write. Why does Intel and AMD have to be so picky?

[New Icons on Beta Branch]

Looking good

[High Dynamic Range Rendering]

Also isris only work if it's the first pp-shader, ex. having ssao.shader before seems to break it, maybe alpha is more than 1 when starting iris adjustments writing to alpha channel?

[High Dynamic Range Rendering]

This works fairly well, your average lum detector is better than mine, but I had adjust the alpha adjustment down to avoid flickering scene.

 

I think this is perfect:

 

context:SetColor(1,1,1,0.02 / Time:GetSpeed())

 

to

context:SetColor(1,1,1,0.005 / Time:GetSpeed())

Here is valve's dithering method.

Well done Josh, I was a bit worried about the shaking normals, but all fixed! Great work!

[Global Illumination Research Pt 3]

That last image there looks rad!
