Porting Shadowess

http://www.playchilla.com/porting-shadowess

October 14, 2012. The next project i’m doing is porting my old game ‘ Shadowess. 8216; to stage 3D to benefit from the power of the GPU. By doing so I can see how this game could work on mobiles (with different controls, point-and-move). The reason I want to try this is because it go very good rating on game sites (4.00 on newgrounds.com). Here is the result so far. Beware of general ugliness, most meshes/colors are placeholders – this is the first port version 😀. WASD – Move (Up/Down arrows also).

February 2nd, 2012 / Experiments. Source code and tutorials. You may remember the Furry Santa. That gave me the idea to use the Kinect 3D data to add hair to everything! Yes, I know, pretty useless. But I like the results :. How Does it work? In short, make an isosurface of the depth output from the Kinect and calculate the normals. Of course, you can also use the pixel data of the Kinect webcam to make hairs in the original object colours. But I liked the black images more. It’s uses openFrameworks.
