This is my first post with w.bloggar. The user interface is pretty clean, and setting up the account to work with wordpress was easy enough (hint: wordpress was called b2 in a previous version.)
Assuming this post works I’ll probably use w.bloggar for now on simply because it has spellcheck.
This is the first non-trival 3d game that I stuck with until completion. It was developed by myself and 3 teamates for our final project in CSE472 at Michigan State University. It’s a 2 player, turn based, 3d, tankwars style game. The idea is to run around the field picking up items and […]
Here’s a powerpoint presentation I gave about skeletal animation and skinning at a Spartasoft meeting last semester. Spartasoft is a student organization, at Michigan State University, dedicated to game development. Along with the presentation, I developed 3 demos, here, here and here, that show off what I was talking about. The source […]
This one is a tool I planned on using for a 3d sidescroller game I was hoping to make. Too bad school started up again and the project died. The tool lets you define how to combine a series of static pose models into anmations using an XML file. The tool […]
This is an interesting effect I made using the render-to-texture feature of DX9 from a C# app.
I did the effect by rendering a texture mapped sphere into a texture, and then rendered that texture into another texture (with a scale+rotation), and then rendering that texture onto the screen. Each frame I would alternate the […]
This is another small demo I wrote in C#. It shows how to do 2d collision detection/responce for an ellipse vs. a set of lines. Hopefully one day I’ll get around to making a game that uses this collision code, but I tend not to finish game projects so dont hold your breath. […]
Didn’t like my floating reflective spheres? Maybe this will catch your interest. It started out as a lab for CSE472 (at Michigan State University), but eventually evolved into my second project for this class. It supports triangle primatives, reflections, refaction, shadows, muliple lights, textures, volumetric fog, anti-aliasing, and chromatic aberation.
This is a VERY simple raytracer that I made last year. It’s not fast, sexy, or even complicated. It is a good example of the basic concepts behind a raytracer. It supports only sphere primatives, with muliple lights casting shadows, and an extremely simple color model. The source code is provided […]
Here’s a little program I made to display mandelbrot fractal images. I didn’t do any optimizations to make it run realtime so you’ll need a fast computer or a lot of spare time. Yet, the images produced are worth the wait in my opinion. If you click on the image it will […]
ok, so originally I installed bblog because i wanted to be different. now i realize that different doesn’t equal good. bBlog isn’t horrible, but it could be much better. Hopefully WordPress will be much better. Luckly, I didn’t have a lot of content yet, so it was no big loss. […]
