[Looking for a team]

Well as all of us still have a life, i can surely understand your needs!

Honestly speaking i did not use leadwerks forum since a while so i don't know most of the users..

My goals is fulfill my free time with some interesting project, so of course let me know anything about that.

[Looking for a team]

I know about last community project, i was looking for something similar.

 

I did a lots of game, so is not easy describe "my skills", i love AI, but i work for a small software house (10 persons) so most of the time i need to do many things.. (Gameplay, Ai, Ui, etc..)

 

My known languages are:

C++, Java, C#, Ue4 (Blueprints), Basic, Blitz, Js

[Looking for a team]

Hi guys, i am back to Leadwerks!

 

Many months (years!?!?) ago i was a Leadwerks user, now i am back again and i would like join for a HUGE project.

My name is Johnny and i am a full time programmer, i have some free time atm and i really want give to Leadwerks engine a great game!

 

Is there any community project or other kind of project in development?

Let me know ASAP!

 

Joh.

[Fastest 3d projection on screen code]

****!

Thanks.

[Fastest 3d projection on screen code]

Hi guys i am looking for the fastest way to know the x,y screen coordinates of a 3d point.

Any suggestion?

[OpenGL in BlitzMAX]

Nice.. Didn't know about this callback.

In past i used another way to render with opengl.

[OpenGL in BlitzMAX]

So basically we should just use our opengl command in this callback?

[Voxelization of a model]

@Josh working with aabb and entity i see a strange issue (not sure if it's a bug, i am back on leadwerks after many months..) i loaded the monstertruck and aabb y0 higher of some vertex position..

It's probably due to tyre but how could i find the correct aabb y0?

 

Also i am working on animation, is there a way to get vertex-bone information?

 

I know my english is bad, i hope you'll understand what i was meaning for.

[Voxelization of a model]

Ok a fast update..

Modified the code to be faster, fixed some bugs, now voxel are a lot more detailed.

Still working on point/cube render.

 

On blank rectangle there is written the number of voxels present!

[Load .sbx map to Blitzmax?]

You should do something like this to load everything.

[Voxelization of a model]

Maybe.

[Voxelization of a model]

Roland are you able to read my mind? Simply you written what i was thinking.. I am a bit scary!

[Voxelization of a model]

@Benton i used library many times, if you need to do a project you have limited amount of time.

But this is not my case, i do this for fun!

[Voxelization of a model]

Ahaha that's why i love my job! That feeling!

[Voxelization of a model]

There is a beta of the exporter here:

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/files/file/353-voxel-exporter/

 

@Josh i see. Ok i'll try to improve my code.

 

@Naughty Allen i know this lib, but if i use it i will lose the possibility to get fun doing this!

[Voxelization of a model]

@Annixa an exporter is already ready. I'll upload it tomorrow.

 

@Wh1sp3r a good idea, i could try it. Creating a good voxel render code it will take some time anyway.

 

@Josh It will be amazing if i could have a callback when the engine renderize triangles. This is really usefull for the real time navmesh. As now my code spent something like 35 millisecs to check 5000 triangles, as i don't have directly access to the render source code i am checking all the triangles..

It will be faster if i will be able to skip this step with a callback.

[Voxelization of a model]

Well exactly how this could help me?

I mean i CHOOSE to use leadwerks as in past this community gave me a lot, now i wanna create a commercial game with this engine.

Also my target is a real-time navmesh generator that will be used during the game, so i don't need static data or something else.

 

@Josh

Is it possible to have a callback ffrom the engine during the render?

Exactly when triangle are processed..

[Just a question on aabb and loadmesh]

This make sense.. But if i don't remember wrong i saw this issue on oildrum too.. It have hierarchy?

[Voxelization of a model]

CopyEntity but this model have more then 4000 triangles and cube are 0.1 scaled.. so there are a lot of them!

[Voxelization of a model]

ahaha not sure it will work!

[Voxelization of a model]

Well i used leadwerks cube.. Also my target is just voxelize it (i don't really need to render) as i use it only to create a navmesh.

But i was thinking to implement also a render way and the performance it can (slightly) improved with other code.

[Voxelization of a model]

Well i should create also my own cube implementation to let it usable.

Next step is to create a video with animation.

 

Or (better) using texture.

 

I'll see.

[Voxelization of a model]

Here my first code for voxelization, my target is create a navmesh and those code work quite good, but could be better.

Anyway i was testing it and i like the result!

[Just a question on aabb and loadmesh]

So i should get the child? Ok i'll check, but anyway was just a question.. I noticed it during some test for voxellization.

[Just a question on aabb and loadmesh]

Well i loaded the mesh, i used loadmesh.
