Voxel Modeling

So because of jovoc’s post I started looking into Voxel modeling because I don’t have a Mac to use Sproxel. There are little to no free voxel programs out there. So after several hours of digging into it I found this solution, all free, and best of all, they’re all portable apps.

DirectX 10 Deferred Shading

I forgot to upload my DirectX 10 Deferred Shading sample from earlier this year. Lighting is still off a little bit because the light accumulation isn’t functioning quite right.

3D Dog Model

A 3D model of a Doberman that I created about a year ago. Skinned Animation working within XNA. Still needs a proper UV map.

File Sharing Presentation

Today I had a presentation to give on Case Studies for File Sharing incidents. To make the presentation interesting I thought I’d try out my Rough Edges Editor and see how well it performed in a real world scenario.

Overall it went pretty well but there are big things I wish I would have done and/or not done in the engine. It taught me a lot of things to look for and to change the next time I take a stab at a 3D engine.

Rough Edges

Code Needed :

Initialize

MoveableCamera cam = new MoveableCamera();
cam.CollideWithTerrain = true;
cam.LockToTerrain = true;
cam.HeightAboveGround = 4.5F;

string rootDir = Directory.GetParent(Application.ExecutablePath).Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.FullName + "\\Resources\\";
XmlTextReader doc = new XmlTextReader(@"C:\Rough Edges\AnimatedModelTest2.rel");
AssetManager assetManager = new AssetManager(Services, rootDir);
Helper.LoadContent(assetManager, rootDir);

scene = REScene.ReadXML(doc, assetManager, GraphicsDevice);
scene.Camera = cam;
