small pretty demo

[syn9]

http://www.syn9.net/download/d3.zip

use up/dn keys to zoom in/out



uses dqb, maps done in the map editor i made for vampira

[KiZ]

O_o

I want your babies







..








No actually.

Now on to the main feature: The level is wicked, although the bat file wont run, gives me an error message saying "program stop on line 0 of module d3". Running the exes by themselves work, but freeze at unexpected times.

woops, forgot to mention, use the mouse to rotate the view

[nebula]

It looks great!

Keep up the good work!

Btw - what is vampira?

[relsoft]

Awesome!!!

Hey, is this the same one you sent me?  Cool!!! Be sure to finish that tute asap so I could include it on the 3d series. :*)

BTW, why are you still using euler angles?  a camera transform using 2 points is better and simpler and yes faster. :*)

BTW, can you put up DL of your map ed?

[Z!re]

Really nice!

I like the lights!


*ohh bright light!*


Would it be possible to make it you could actually walk through the map?

And how large can the maps be?

[syn9]

thanks,

the maps cant be extremely large, only like ~1k polies and still get a good fps on my comp.... but, it just needs more optimization to fix that... as for the map editor, its got some very key parts missing from it or that need to be fixed, as well as a tutorial on how to use it, heh, but here are some shots if you want to see what it looks like

As said by the late DP...
"I want your babies"

That looks awesome. Keep up the good work or whatever. >^_^<

Prelit textures and affine texture mapping is the past.

LOL. Yeah, you should try and make anything 3d with UGL now as it supports Perpective and realtime Gouraud shading.  It's also blazingly fast!!!

O_o

Im dead?

Anyway, Syn9, do you know what could be causing the errors whilst running the demo on my system? (I explained them in my earlier post)

Took you long enough to notice xD

I don't get any problems =\ (Ish running win98)

[Nexinarus]

dark_prevail, im just guessing here but your probably running Windows XP. The problem is the shortcut files (the two .pif files) in the memory tab of the properties have been set, well not wrong but just specific to certain people. Its best to use auto allocation. Change all the memory allocation to auto and it should run.

Not a bad lil demo syn9, but you'd definately get more speed using ugl. dqb is ancient and slow compared to ugl.

[syn9]

thanks guys, yes, it would be a lot better if done in ugl.  im not sure what my coding plans are, someone was talking about that i should take back up zero g 2 with ugl... that would be really cool, but i dont think i have the time, and im not sure what kind of story it would have....

i really love the look of the lightmaps. because the room can have any number of light sources, and have each pixel on each texture have bumpmapping/light calculations from the light... though, its still prerendered, i think it looks yum

yea, blitz, i saw that demo, its pretty cool.  but, if i plan on doing something of that calibre, i'll more than likely just use opengl
