Really nice...

There's still some missing polygons though...

And the water would really look better with some more randomness to it's movement =)



Really really cool =)

Where's the game

[marzecTM]

pretty kwel i like it. what framerates do you get on what machine, what hidden surface removal do you use?

[VonGodric]

it's cool, I liked that

[syn9]

thanks

i get ~30fps on my machine (p3 550)

as for hidden surfaces, i just use Rel's BFC formula

Code:

znormal& = (pntinfo(p2).sx - pntinfo(p1).sx) * (pntinfo(p1).sy - pntinfo(p3).sy) - (pntinfo(p2).sy - pntinfo(p1).sy) * (pntinfo(p1).sx - pntinfo(p3).sx)

IF znormal& >= 0 THEN visible = true

a game isnt planned for it currently, im going to try to put together a client/server system with it to see if i can get 2 clients walking around in the same world, ive done this before in a text based system so hopefully it wont be incredibly dificult

[marzecTM]

kwel,

and for zordering you use a normal sort algo. guess you have a more or less constant poly rate at least for the terrain itself right?

i like it!

Man, I can't view any of the images, or dl  the video... ::

syn9. Port it to FB. :*)

Pretty cool looking, though very chunky video.
Nice looking towns/courtyards/marketplaces (whichever they are).
I like how it kinda has that look of a 3d version of a tile-based rpg.
(oh, and I haven't been able to get a response out of you recently-- are we still on for that project? :: )

[Torahteen]

That is the coolest thing ever! I wish I could program 3d like  that, but I am still learn 2d rotations. I'll get there.

[Oz]

not too bad......i think i can solve your BFC problem (where some things get miscalculated..

instead of, for znormal, using: '<0' change it to maybe '.1' or such.  This would change the zplane distance cull....don't increase it too much, otherwise things start to look....er.....messy......

[TheBigBasicQ]

wow. i am pretty impressed!

[Imerion]

That looks fantastic! Really neat...

[Rokkuman]

This is very cool. You've got a whole 3D traveling game done right there.

[Torahteen]

I have a Q. How do you make a complete world like that? I mean, how do you make so many polys be where they are supposed to be? Obviously you don't use DATA statements . I need rel to complete his series :lol: .
