- Codename GREED
the following resources
will be integrated into GREED - credit will be given to the these guys

Note:
The feature list is subject to changes
if there is concern about one or more features and their usability.
Plz voice your oppinion and give feedback/ suggestions.
On a sidenote, this Engine will remain OpenSrc, it will be still MIT
but it wont reflect Torque3Ds image as the goal is to create something that enables the end user
to create a modern FPS Game with ease (at least when it comes to the Engine).

if i successfully get dx11 working u will have advanced procedural rendering 
#123
Also what are the benefits of Advanced Procedural Rendering Just out of curiosity?
I cannot seem to find much about it on the web.

@Thomas Fluff Harris - Ok, I can live with that. :)Also what are the benefits of Advanced Procedural Rendering Just out of curiosity?

read and be amazed :D

I had a look on the guys blog which was linked near the end of the prentation. :)
Here is one of the videos that was on there.

So that sort of detail will be able to be achieved?

not only possible but would also run like a dream :D its one more step to making polygon limits a thing of the past

Advanced Procedural Rendering gives u access to drawing models with gfx card and not storing data on the pc or creating hard meshes, u can perform complex operations like booleans and subdivision all in code, u could get an artist to create a 3d mesh of a person ( a single person btw ) take it into the gfx break it down in code make a few dynamic variables and inject it into the code and boom u have like 300 models all different but based around the template u put in. all done by the gfx card and dx.

ill explain just for anyone that dosnt want to watch the video or read the docs, Advanced Procedural Rendering gives u access to drawing models with gfx card and not storing data on the pc or creating hard meshes, u can perform complex operations like booleans and subdivision all in code, u could get an artist to create a 3d mesh of a person ( a single person btw ) take it into the gfx break it down in code make a few dynamic variables and inject it into the code and boom u have like 300 models all different but based around the template u put in. all done by the gfx card and dx.

I opened this thread with the Terminator 3 Theme song going in the background on my PC. So you just attained coding god status until further notice. :P
Also what are the other steps to making polygon limits a thing of the past?
Just curious :)

what that is showing off is the smoke behind the car isnt a particle effect ;)

So tiled resources are basically LOD models for Textures? Correct me if I am wrong. :)
12/05/2013 (3:17 pm)
@Thomas - Very nice!So tiled resources are basically LOD models for Textures? Correct me if I am wrong. :)
#133
12/05/2013 (3:20 pm)
ur not wrong no think of it as an lod mesh for texture atlases, u could create one texture which would hold info for 4 different textures and those 4 hold info for a further 4 textures each the gfx crunches the tile out of the tiled resource set when it needs it rather than loading it all up when u load each scene

I really want that now. :D
I need to get back to work on the scene I am making for the project.
I think I will put up my project under the GREED Moddb Page to garner more interest in the engine.

What kind of project? You are doing a game or something? If it is just a scene it can later be used to promote the features. I think moddb is just for mods or games, for single items or scenes there are other platforms.
#137
I guess I should have clarified. It is a side project of mine. That I have been working on for a little bit now (3 Days about) I am in no position to show it off yet.
As for what kind of project - It is a Tactical Shooter so think the Classic Rainbow Six games, Ghost Recon or Red Orchestra OST-Front.

that means we can create hundreds of debris each different from one another.
same for trees and .....
possibility is huge.
not sure.most probably in procedural city generation softwares used this kind of techs.
wondering why they removed those video.
@thomas.
do u know any game that is using this technique ?
or any project ?

Pc games really i dont know no game that i know of has really said they have, cross platform compatibility is all the rage these days and as far as i know opengl dosnt have those features and if ur going to design a city purely out of SGFs then no opengl user is going to see it
12/05/2013 (6:26 pm)
the posibilities are endless and i really dont know any developer off the top of my head that has used this yet but seriously someone has to of used it lol i think the main place ur gonna see it (game wise) will be on xbox1 Pc games really i dont know no game that i know of has really said they have, cross platform compatibility is all the rage these days and as far as i know opengl dosnt have those features and if ur going to design a city purely out of SGFs then no opengl user is going to see it

Just curious :)

@Thomas - Will I need to upgrade to Windows 8 to utilize these features?Just curious :)
Benjamin Stanley
Do we have some one that could possibly do something with the rendering side of things?
Here is why I bring it up.
Tourqe 3D has a great Rendering tech as is. But it could be better.
For a long term goal. I would suggest Physically Based Rendering this would give a more realistic look to more projects using GREED opposed to the current model we have in.
If anyone is up to the challenge I will be more than happy to ship them a copy of the books Real Time Rendering 3rd Edition and Physically Based Rendering, Second Edition: From Theory To Implementation. My only request is that they do something with the books. :)
