Night of the Shape. Work by night, and dream about the next day. Saturday, 31 May 2008. Project Update: Solar Flux. Well it's been a while since I posted, that's because I've been working hard finishing up my degree, and collecting all the content togeather for my online portfolio. Anyways, I thought I'd share some quick gameplay footage of our alpha playable for solar flux. Posted by @ Nightshape/@. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Folks you should be sure to check out!

http://nightshape.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Night of the Shape. Work by night, and dream about the next day. Monday, 7 June 2010. Stuart just sent an email through detailing his adventure's in the US, sadly I can't share any of that here. Sounds like he's had quite a ride. Anyways, an interview he mentioned doing is up: http:/ www.joystiq.com/2010/06/04/interview-bodycount-creative-director-stuart-black/. Posted by @ Nightshape/@. So We announced, it's been a long time, and actually lots of great stuff should be coming up with E3 round the corner.

Night of the Shape. Work by night, and dream about the next day. Monday, 7 June 2010. So We announced, it's been a long time, and actually lots of great stuff should be coming up with E3 round the corner. We actually had the front cover for OXM! Which was awesome. That was actually a while back. Eurogamer did a good preview:. Http:/ www.eurogamer.net/articles/bodycount-preview. There have been others. This is just one that I like. Here's to hoping I remember to detail some of the E3 stuff.

In my last post, which I admit was a while ago (this is because I've been adding loads of new features to Unholy Mess), I was ranting on about Mesh-Batching. Posted by @ Nightshape/@.

Michael Short: February 2009
http://shortgaming.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 18 February 2009. I got myself a G1 a couple of month back (its a great phone btw) and lately iv been experimenting with the Android SDK. So far iv managed to make a few apps (most of them direct tutorials from the android docs, which are also great). Iv also made a simple 2D space shooting game, the SDK is so easy to pick up it only took me a day to make the game! Sunday, 8 February 2009. From it I as able to implement a simple metaball system in render monkey. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Michael Short: Pixel Shader Particle Engine
http://shortgaming.blogspot.com/2008/03/pixel-shader-particle-engine.html
Wednesday, 26 March 2008. Pixel Shader Particle Engine. Final velocity = initial velocity (velocity variance * random value). Below is a picture of it in action, Im storing particle data in a 512 x 512 pixel texture, meaning there is a total of 262,144 particles on screen. Quite a few more than my CPU based engine! So basically all the data for each particle is stored in the colour values of a texture? Very handy. I suppose that also makes it extremely easy to save or load a particle system, storing ...

Michael Short: Light Pre Pass Rendering
http://shortgaming.blogspot.com/2009/06/light-pre-pass-rendering.html
Sunday, 14 June 2009. Light Pre Pass Rendering. Iv been looking at light pre pass rendering as described here. And started playing round with it. The basic concept is:. On you z pre pass, render mesh normals and depth into a render target. Then using this rendertarget you obtain the normal of a surface and the world position ( pos = mul( float4( In.Tex.xy, depth, 1.0 ), matInvViewProj ) ) and can render the lights into the back buffer. The backbuffer containing a single directional light:. Yoostar2 is a ...

Michael Short: Metaballs
http://shortgaming.blogspot.com/2009/02/metaballs.html
Sunday, 8 February 2009. From it I as able to implement a simple metaball system in render monkey. Using the equations in the article, you basically iterate through each metaball in the pixel shader and return the summation of affect each metalball has on the pixel. Its pretty cool stuff and not to hard to implement:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. OpenGL 3.0/ES 2.0. Microsoft Lift London 2013 - pesent.

Night of the Shape: May 2009
http://nightshape.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Night of the Shape. Work by night, and dream about the next day. Saturday, 9 May 2009. Yup, as of the 11th of May, I'll be starting on my first ever professional games production. There's been lots of pre-stuff, lots of planning-blarg, but only now has it finally got to the point where I can say: We're entering production of our yet unannounced title. Considering how far we've come as a team at Codies, Guildford, it'll be interesting to see how the dynamic changes through production. Tuesday, 5 May 2009.
