also I think in your case using hashmap will slow down the process instead of speeding it up.

it is not directional, it seems?

No it's not

yeah, the shading at the edges looks too smooth

but it might just look pretty sweet with SSAO on top

Ah, read about it this morning

Don't really understand what it does and how it works though

your currently lighting picks up large-scale details while SSAO will fill in small-scale details

So do I have to rewrite my entire lighting engine for it?

I mean looking/inserting in the hash map will probably take more time compared to computing the light received by that point multiple times.

Well it doesn't really matter, as it's not going to be a building game.

@Basaa could you put a lamp on flat surface, just like the previous screenshot

Sure

I'd like to know how it's working there

Perfect

Can't see any weird things there

screenshot?

Coming..

it's even better that what I'd expected :D

:P

And when I use the power of 2 of the lighting value in the fragment shader it looks even more smooth

The next step is day/night cycle, don't really know what would be the best way to implement it :(

@Basaa you know you can use the upload button beside send

Yeh, I know :

@Basaa don't you already use power of 2 lighting value to feed vertex shader?

No, only in the last screenshot

And no, I only use it in the fragment shader

so do it per light before adding up lights from multiple sources.

or else it could result weird looking lights.

something like this:

Why could it result in weird looking lights?

@Basaa just a hunch, you can test it...

place 3 light sources on the edge of lightened area.

to form a triangle, that's the case it the problem should be obvious enough!

Huh

Could you tell me why exactly?

Don't really get it, and I wanna learn :P

it was just as I suspected right?

but anyway, I don't understand it well enough myself to be able to explain it.

as I said it was just a hunch

Nah, I don't really see anything wron

Except maybe that it's a little darker then it should

Is that what you mean?

I'm not sure, screenshot?

then I guess I was wrong.

doesn't seem bad at all

True

But I think I kinda know what you mean

You mean it's a little darker between the lights where it should be a little lighter?

From a little bigger distance you can see it better

exactly opposite. I expected it to be ultra light between the lights where it should actually bbe darker

ok,good night everyone

Ah, no, when I raytrace the faces for the lamp, I check if the value that I got from the calculation is bigger, if it isnt then I replace it, and I use max(1.0, lightValue)

Good night, thanks :)

@Basaa so I guess that's why you didn't notice the problem

Yeh :P

But thanks anyway for the suggestion :0

though I prefer adding lights up together

it'll result in more realistic result

Yeh, metoo

Gonna change it I think

again I guess

:P

It's just 1 simple function so no problem haha

@Basaa I'll ask you about that in two months when you can't remember where was that single function...

Whaahaaahaa

Probably :P

I'm trying to keep it as clean and well-commented as possible

Sony and Unity - Cool. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

@Basaa exactly opposite of me, though I usually don't forget about anything. or at least I always have clues where to find things

Are there any mini/short/art games these days, flash games or client games, that arouse or bring about memories of childhood and youth through their game mechanics? Looking for inspirations for designing a game that could bring back memories of youth.

what would happen if in GLSL i would set color to say vec3(2.0, 1.0, 1.0)?

the rendered color would be vec3(1.0, 0.5, 0.5), vec3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0) or vec3(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)?

try it maybe?

you see, the weird thing is that fragment with vec(3,3,3) is whiter than another with vec(2,2,2);

maybe 100% is the highest float on all fragments?

@Carven take a look at this game

@visDEVion I remember it being clamped.

meaning the (1,1,1) should display a pixel with equal color compared to (2,1,1)

unless you implement HDR

I didn't consider thihs worth making a question over, but I'd like to ask something small. If I['m making a game and I want one of the entities to be like a worm (Like the destroy of worls off of Terraria) how would I go about it?

I was thinking a parenting system where every segment hhas a parent and it follows its parent

oh yay, Terraria is gonna get some updates :D

srsly?

LOL! I only read your post after I typed that xD

pcgamer.com/2013/01/26/…

also, check the top comments

that is not the official update but it was made by the same artist working on the update, he said that himself and while that's not the final version the update is making progress

the consoles are going to have more features (dammit) but at least they are making a pc update

@ShaunWild Regarding your question I dont really know... try it and see if it works

Ive tried it before and it works, it's just I feel it may be inefficieit, esecially if theres lots of these worms

hm... some say if it works as it is leave it like that

but I'll see if I can think of something while I cook

Thanks :)

I'll post a question

@ShaunWild careful, dont dont really like open-discussion questions

Hello all

Hello @Madcowe

greetings

@Madcowe, I think I have fixed the problem with my engine, it was a problem in the shaders that some drivers accepted, and some didnt

Would you want to try it again?

sure ^^

@Madcowe, give me your skype
