Next Generation of Terrain rendering
Volumes instead of Heightfields
21.11.2004
Character Update
I just finished modeling for the
Turrican Modeling Contest
Here the link to the 3D-Model in several Formats
It can be used by everybody for free,
as it was also the idea of the Contest
9.11.2004
Working on moving to OGRE
and creating the first Game-Character (click image)
29.10.2004
New Version online with new Demo
and new Screenshots.
Added Features:
* now about 10km view distance
* Fur for rendering the grass
6.10.2004
Now hopefully fixed the PBuffer Problem and
uploaded the new executeables.
I will fix the Clippingplanes
for the Water in the next time.
4.10.2004
I found some problems that occour with NVidia Cards;
it was related to the PBuffer and Clippinplanes.
I almost fixed the bug and
will add the new executeables soon :-)
1.10.2004
HVox now has its own section on my Homepage!
12.9.2004
Now HVox is for Windows only. The new version also takes use of Pixel- and Vertexshader, so at least a Radeon 9600 or Geforce FX card is required to run the demo. New are several terrain texture layers ( 3+1 detail ), as well as the special Glow that had been added for modelling all kinds of lightsources.
12.7.2004
Added Env.Bumpmapped Wate and converted the Engine from Linux to Windows(the Windows Executeables are currently ATI only)
2.7.2004
Hvox now uses perlin noise to improve close geometry.
Downloadlink to the executeables of HVox is updated
and there are also new screenshots available
25.6.2004
Now added a downloadlink to the
Executeables of HVox!
12.8.2003
added little presentation about the
hierarchical voxel engine,
8.8.2003
I added a background now in the
hierarchical voxel engine,
I also added new screenshots and
fixed a few bugs in the source.
5.8.2003
new Screenshots of the Hierarchic Voxel-Engine
now, the connection beween the cubes with different voxel-resolutions is done,
and a Voxel-Volume of 512x512x512 can be generated/displayed
at about 20 FPS with ca. 140k Polygons (dependent to the scene-complexity)
Trianglestrips are generated now as well.
