ChrisMAN Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I like Crytek's stuff. I just think we have more to rely on than purely graphical power. Probably the number one feature of Leadwerks is the API design and ease of programming. A good renderer that is easy to utilize = <3 I came because of the API and that it doesn't force weird abstractions on my code. The crappy abstractions are very disruptive between the layers of code. I can do c# in my sleep but I leadwerks is still more of a joy. Marie (my wife), the 3d artist I am working with is very realistically 4x more productive with Unity3d then with leadwerks, and it is scary how real the productive gain is. It pains me to trade my joy for hers. It's not fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Red Ocktober Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 well... it would seem that the ability of a game engine to present believable ocean and water seems to be some sorta self validation of its capabilities... all the "good" ones do this... --Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Leadwerks 3 art pipeline will make the reverse true. 1 Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

BES Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hmm... procedural-voxel terrain generation ... been messing with that stuff with the OpenGL4.4 SDK ... its pretty cool .. voxels are cool because the terrain can break up, can break chunks out of it ...any object made with voxels can be destroyed.. Procedural terrain, if done right, the maps can be huge without wasting computer resources ... awesome link ...use the HD setting if possible.. 1 Quote Threadripper 2920X Gen2 CPU(AMD 12-core 24 thread) | 32Gigs DDR4 RAM | MSI Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Stock OCed | ASRock X399 Professional Gaming Motherboard | Triple M.2 500Gig SSD's in Raid0 Windows 10 Pro | Blender | Paint.Net | World Machine | Shader Map 4 | Substance Designer | Substance Painter | Inkscape | Universal Sound FX | ProBuilder | 3D World Studio | Spacescape | OpenSky | CubeMapGen | Ecrett Music | Godot Engine | Krita | Kumoworks | GDScript | Lua | Python | C# | Leadworks Engine | Unity Engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Red Ocktober Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 well... then i guess we should all just throw away all this high tech stuff... and sit down and write a book... --Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalHax Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Annnnyway... Getting back to the topic at hand, is there any good way to get hold of the island demo, or perhaps, and even better, the zone?

Mike Yeah I figured it would be a lot ...BUT ..the same tech is pretty much given away here: if you can understand it.. LINK ...the source code is free to use ..even for commercial purposes ..the book is $40 though..they explain all that code they provided.. Also this http://www.terathon.com/voxels/ goes with the code in the above link.. so basically they provide everything .. you don't actually need the C4 Engine ...you need only OpenGL and a C++ compiler .. I am not good in this type of math though ... so I doubt ill be able to get it working for any type of game... I figure I need to know it very well in case there is a problem later..like after a commercial release,it would be bad..

I have a hard time with intermmediate math, no less computational transvoxel warp drive mathematics (or whatever it's called). I wonder if there is another editor for voxel landscape design? One that does not require c++ knowledge?
