Old School Fire

http://www.youtube.com/v/SwVLI729y-A http://www.youtube.com/v/SwVLI729y-A So I have been playing about this evening with some old fire algorithms I found. Don't look too bad, might use it in a WP7 game.. Needles to say (but I will anyway) the render...

BoundingBox’s in XNA 4.0

As you may have seen a post on how to generate bounding box data in 4.0 was required as some of the old tutorials just don’t seem to be cutting it any more. The pipeline code in this sample will also work in 3.1 as I took it from my 3.1 instancing...

I put a clip up the other day of the ribbon emitter I was playing with, so here is the code and blog post as promised. The idea behind the ribbon emitter was to be able to lay down a length of connected particles, normally when we use a regular particle...

http://www.youtube.com/v/hmiHmAKggMU http://www.youtube.com/v/hmiHmAKggMU Well, maybe. So, had the idea for a ribbon like particle system, think Leaf gave me the idea back when I was playing with the Warheads clone (must pick that back up!) So, have written...

Deferred Lighting Teaser

So, have resolved some silly issues and school boy errors made while porting my deferred lighting stuff from XNA 3.1 to XNA 4.0, and this is what it looks like at the moment, as you can see there are 5 point lights, a directional light and a cone light...

http://www.youtube.com/v/VGeC5HYN0k0 http://www.youtube.com/v/VGeC5HYN0k0 A friend of mine was asking how to do some sort of 2D shadows for a game he is working on. We took a look at some images Catalin Zima put up on an implementation he is working on...

Have your say....

So, with me switching off the comments and ping backs on the blog, it makes it a bit harder to find out what sort of stuff you want to see on the blog. My current plan is to wait for XNA 4.0 full release before posting code I then need to then upgrade...

Just so you know I have not stopped, I have just posted an article on the sun post process shader I did for the Blacksun engine. This implementation was done in XNA 4.0 CTP so it's a bit limited, but it should get you going. You can see the article...
