New raytraced shadows demo
Monday, August 30, 2004 | Permalink
Another demo to waste your precious time on.
Kicking around those balls, oh man, that's hours of fun!
Enjoy!
2004-08-31: The demo should now work properly on nVidia cards too.

what was going wrong to prevent nvidia cards from working? All I can see is the addition of a glColor when rendering the light sprite. How did this affect the shadow render?

@Humus not quite right you can try to approximate more complex models by spheres (something similair to QSplats) but you definitely would need some sort of acceleration structure like Octree, BSP, Grid or BVHs. But I guess speed would still suffer. But rasterization graphics hardware is just not designed for raytracing (when will people ever learn)

sqrt[-1],
the glColor fix was for the missing light source. Nvidia aliases generic vertex attributes with conventional attributes (contrary to the spec's requirement of no aliasing), so that made the binormal overwrite the primary color. For the missing shadows, it was a bug in my framework that made it choose a pixel format with no alpha.

I don't think it's bump mapping or parallax mapping.....if I had to guess I'd say it's normal mapping w/raytraced real-time soft shadows.

Whoops, double posted, sorry.

Now it's triple.
Yeah, there's no parallax mapping in this demo. Just plain old normal mapping.

From where can i download GLSL? There is an error if i try to start it!?
