Shard Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Is it possible to draw 3D pixels in Leadwerks or using OpenGL? Below is a screenshot from Universe Sandbox; an example of something that I want to do, but trying to draw that many spheres would be murder on the GPU.

Canardia Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Yeah, see in the tutorials Masterxilo's 3D drawing tutorial.

Masterxilo Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I'd rather use billboard sprites. Quote Hurricane-Eye Entertainment - Site, blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if I wanted the objects to have physics and collision?

Rick Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Then you need bodies, if you want LE to take care of all that for you. Pixels wouldn't have bodies unless you parented a body to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. One more question: Where is the physics done? On the GPU or the CPU?

Masterxilo Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 CPU. I think a CUDA accelerated version of Newton is in dev., but I don't think this is used in LE. Quote Hurricane-Eye Entertainment - Site, blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
