So Crysis and Skyrim now?   Need a desert landscape next. eg:

Yeah, good idea, so somebody can obtain permission to use the full Tamriel heightmap and region-gen it for Jedi Academy

I want to do a desert map, but I need tatooine models. Small buildings, etc. To do something like the video I would probably also need new rock models.

Here's a few screenshots of a new climate type that I am working on. Just in time for christmas

 

You got weather working on rend2?

Use these... free to use, just give credit.

would be nice @@Archangel35757 but they are to high poly from what i could understand from Uniq

[Ramikad]

They could be imported in Blender and quickly decimated, provided that the UVmaps don't get destroyed.

[Archangel35757]

they are available in various formats... load them in a 3D program and add an optimize modifier (GMax or 3dsMax) to reduce poly count, or Blender, etc.-- then re-export.

i know that but its not like im a all skilled man for all this sort of stuff and nether is Uniq. maybe some day who knows but is a nice site, with a few good things in it

great work... now record one of you swan diving off the cliff edge into the water below-- use the shark npc!

Kasper A. Andersen and Christian Bay:A survey of algorithms for construction of optimal Heterogeneous Bounding Volume Hierarchies. 2006

In this paper we describe algorithms for automatic object hierarchy construction. We develop and evaluate a Branch and Bound algorithm. The algorithm is controlled by a heuristic- and cost function. The hierarchy data structure built by the algorithm is the Approximating Hybrid Bounding Volume Hierarchy. It has nodes with varying branching factors, multiple bounding geometry types and approximating geometries in the leaf nodes.

 

 

 

 

Maybe that could be helpful for your automatic collision bounding volumes?

Looks like exactly what is needed. If I am able to make it work or not, is another story hehe.

@@UniqueOne that could be useful to poke with physical engine ( like physX or bullet physics ). Also..what about physical engine?

Our approach introduces an infinitely large landscape with constant framerate and no stalls at runtime. With more computational power, more resources will be used for dynamic lightning, and natural effects like water. We present simple and fast shader approaches for both of these effects
