deniz Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hi all, here is a video of my recent work on simulating real-time snow accumulation in LE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SKEymqY474 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixel Perfect Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 That's pretty neat Deniz. Would look even nicer with a snow emitter! Nice work though.

Paul Thomas Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Very nice, Deniz. Great work in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 That is a really clever idea. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 thank you all guys, I am glad you liked it this effect is still in its development stage. after integrating it with the framework, I will post the updated video and maybe the binary as well. Later I will add a snow emitter as well. I did not want to do it for now, since I wanted to show just the effect itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Do you mind if I build this effect into the LE3 renderer? It could work for rain, too.

David Will Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 On the previous engine I was working with I commissioned someone to build in a similar effect, starting off like yours but then slowly fading in snow 'objects' that would automatically size and conform to the elevation and angles of the building/object to simulate thick snow. I scrapped the snow segment of the game a while back but I may bring it back, would be great to see something like this in LE3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Simpson Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 would be great to see something like this in LE3. I agree. Having a weather system would be great!

A little OT there Josh, but you look entirely TOO happy. Quote AMD Phenom II x6 1100T - 16GB RAM - ATI 5870 HD - OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Do you mind if I build this effect into the LE3 renderer? It could work for rain, too. That would be just great. As I wrote in my blog I would like to have in rain and wind in my GameEntry scene but have no idea how to do it. Quote AV MX Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekindled Phoenix Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 That video with the bunny model seems to be the way Crysis does their snow / water effects, almost like a projection light that applies onto vertices with a certain angle.

Josh Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 It's a lot more than that, he's got geometry adding to the surfaces, which is impressive.

deniz Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 yes, addtional geometry is added & modified to give that effect. one of the questions was what function to use for varying the snow thickness with the angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Seems like a perfect opportunity to use geometry shaders. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Seems like a perfect opportunity to use geometry shaders. that's why I asked before if there was support for geometry shaders in LE2 In fact, geometry shader might not be sufficient. support for tessellation shaders would be better.
