rd-rend2 (old thread)

nooo u broek the graficks

[Szico VII]

Hah, loved the changes - would be awesome to see how it looks with an optimised bumpmap instead of auto-generated. Any parallax support?

[Xycaleth]

Yeah, parallax maps should be supported. I don't know to what extent though. I'm still learning the ins and outs of rend2 as I go along fixing things.

[Futuza]

I love have finished code screenshots.  

[Szico VII]

q3map_surfacelight / surfacelight (might not really be used)

 

This is definitely used...although only by q3map2, I dont think it needs to be used for the actual rendering.

[Pande]

Could we see an example of cubemapping, SSAO (to whatever extent it is working), and maybe the DoF? (I'm ignorant as to progress on any of those things ofc, pardon me if they aren't yet available for viewing)

[eezstreet]

DoF doesn't exist on the renderer. (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though)

[Pande]

Woops, you're right, it doesn't. 
From the readme:
 
 - Compatible with most vanilla Quake 3 mods.
  - HDR Rendering, and support for HDR lightmaps
  - Tone mapping and auto-exposure.
  - Cascaded shadow maps.
  - Multisample anti-aliasing.
  - Texture upsampling.
  - Advanced materials support.
  - Advanced shading and specular methods.
  - sRGB support.
  - LATC and BPTC texture compression support.
  - Screen-space ambient occlusion.

 

So instead of DoF I'm interested in Tone Mapping now Also, as always, the GLSL shaders, you have teased me with the normal mapping, now I want to see specular

See these people always want more, good graphics are never good enough.  They consume, consume consume, eat eat eat.   Just kidding pande.

[Tempust85]

Heh, I nagged Xycaleth and a few others for normal mapping for a long time. They must be sick of me by now.

 

 

Normal maps don't work on player models right now, so the new specular may not either. Without the normal mapping, specular won't be that decent anyways.

[Tempust85]

So, I've been mucking around in ioquake3's rend2

 

 

 

What's there:

 

- Diffuse maps (duh)

- Specular maps with gloss

- Normal maps with height

- Real shadows

- SSAO

- HDR

- Anti-aliasing x16

- Image upsampling 2x size, maximum size 1024x (crashes at 2048x)

 

Textures are quake 3's but with touch ups & have been run through crazybump to generate normal, height & specular maps. Not auto generated by rend2.

 

(ignore shadow on the gun, that's due to the player model's shadow)

 

Why am I posting this here? Because all this is possible once rend2 is finished on OpenJK.

[eezstreet]

The tone-mapping is pretty good but it would be better with maps that supported the feature.

[h643]

Anisotropic filtering is not working in that image? When I tested rend2 openjk it didn't work for me either iirc (unless forced)

[Tempust85]

I did add tonemapping stuff to the sky shader, but I think I mucked around with it too much for anything to be noticeable.

 

@

 

Oops, I meant Anti-aliasing. Always get those two names mixed up.

 

Doesn't look like rend2 (ioquake3) has anisotrophic filtering judging by the readme.

 

 

EDIT:

 

Edited my post above with tone mapping.

[Tempust85]

Couldn't resist:

 

 

Oh yeah, and that head is 900 tris. About 2,000 less than the original TFU. Still comes out good though.

[ensiform]

It does. r_ext_texture_filter_anisotropic its supported by the regular ioq3 renderer too, thats why its not listed as specific to rend2.

[Pande]

That head looks awesome DT

[Lamented]

Beautiful head.

[Tempust85]

There's a few little issues preventing the same look in OpenJK, but those working on rend2's implementation are working hard and progress is being made.

[MoonDog]

Everyone loves good head.

[Lamented]

Everyone loves good head.

 

Hear, hear.

[Circa]

Everyone loves good head.

Not gonna lie, I was waiting for someone to say that.

[MoonDog]

Not gonna lie, I was waiting for someone to say that.

 

 

Dude, me too. I waited forever. Decided it was past due.

[Tempust85]

What's the current state of rend2?

[Raz0r]

It works on OSX now.
