• ReMix 08 - Demo Source Code

  Some of you that have come to this blog after going to the ReMix 08 conference are probably wondering, "Where is that source code Paul said would be here!?" Well, most of it is here, it's just smashed across a lot of posts. But, it's...

• Terrain with Roads

  Well this is the source post for my terrain and road map stuff. I will briefly describe what I have added and then onto where the source download is. So all I have done is add another Vector4 to the vertex element that holds the weight of the given road...

• Terrain With Road Map

  I know, how many times can a guy extend a terrain class!!!!? Lots I guess, this extension to the class and shader adds another map image that I call a road map. As you can guess this image holds a map of where I want to draw roads on my terrain. It is...

• Simple Bumped Terrain with Water

  http://www.youtube.com/v/a5rfeWmJo8w http://www.youtube.com/v/a5rfeWmJo8w Right, decided to move this component from the engine and into my Generic XNA section, I know what you are thinking, "I have gone through all your bump mapped terrain stuff...

• Source Example 6 - Fog SM 1.1 to 2

  http://www.youtube.com/v/NdPEhjL9ufo http://www.youtube.com/v/NdPEhjL9ufo This example shows the use of shader model 1.1 - 2 methodology for fog by using the render states. Controls Mouse to rotate camera. Arrow Keys to translate camera. F1 Switch Fog...

  http://www.youtube.com/v/WDzWlKpa07o http://www.youtube.com/v/WDzWlKpa07o So onto terrain, this example uses a height map 128X128 and is configured to use Riemers origional terrain shader (modified for the engine). Also included in this example are my... Posted Oct 15 2007, 09:44 PM by Nemo Krad with | with no comments Filed under: Randomchaos 3D Engine, Terrain, Source, XNA 1.0

• Engine Design - Terrain (Bump/Normal Mapping)

  Well, looks like my post on fire is on hold for now. So here is my bump/normal mapped terrain shaders and the modifications I made to my existing terrain object. Changes to the Terrain Class First thing I had to do was figure out how to add tangents to...

• New Engine Component - Terrain With Bump Map Effect

  I know, I should be writing up the Fire class and shader, but I have been playing around with bump maps and normals and thought it would be a good idea to apply this to the terrain. I managed to do it using the shader from Reimers tutorial and modified... Posted Oct 15 2007, 07:47 PM by Nemo Krad with | with no comments Filed under: Randomchaos 3D Engine, Terrain

• Engine Design - Terrain

  Well this is my version of a terrain class for the Engine, it is a very simple class. I took the initial idea and I guess framework from Riemers Series 4 tutorial and got it to fit my engine. I added a few methods to it to make it a bit more user friendly... Posted Oct 15 2007, 02:59 PM by Nemo Krad with | with 7 comment(s) Filed under: Randomchaos 3D Engine, Terrain, XNA 1.0
