• 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...

• Source Example 4 - Terrain

  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

• Source Example 3 - Mesh Animation

  http://www.youtube.com/v/tcDqXq58yds http://www.youtube.com/v/tcDqXq58yds Still showing the use of the model class, in this example we have an animated mesh (X format). Again this is another simple example using the RandomchaosContentPipelineManager to...

• Source Example 2 - Scene Picking & Targets

  http://www.youtube.com/v/m2qyoLI598k http://www.youtube.com/v/m2qyoLI598k Moving on from example 1 but sticking with the Model and Scene class, this example shows how to apply picking objects from the scene and also how to apply a targeting reticle to...

• Source Example 1 - Basic Model

  http://www.youtube.com/v/W644-S5oDkg http://www.youtube.com/v/W644-S5oDkg Here is the first source code example, all it is is a simple model, skybox and camera implementation. This example comes with the model, two shaders, the skybox textures and the... Posted Oct 15 2007, 09:29 PM by Nemo Krad with | with no comments Filed under: Randomchaos 3D Engine, Source, XNA 1.0

• Engine Design - Source

  Here is a link to the source for this engine. It is just the source so there are no models, textures or shaders in this zip, just the engine and the content pipeline processor for models, this has extras in it for giving each mesh in a mesh a bounding...

• Engine Design - Fire

  Right, Here is the code for my fire, this fire effect is not to robust really, I need to do a little more work on it so I can have true volumetric fire, also I don't like the multi mesh approach I am using either so will probably play with the shader...

• 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...

• Engine Design - Water (Ocean)

  Now, once I had a terrain object I thought it would be great to get a water model to go with it. I thought I would just use the terrain class and modify it so that it was flat. I then needed a shader to do my water effect, and being new to all this 3D... Posted Oct 15 2007, 03:52 PM by Nemo Krad with | with no comments Filed under: Randomchaos 3D Engine, Water, XNA 1.0

• 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

• Engine Design - Ray Picking

  Here I will show how I manage to pick 3D objects from the scene using the mouse. Now as you can imagine this can lead to a few issues, one of which is converting a mouses 2D coordinates to 3D coordinates that can be used in the scene. Before I give you...

• Engine Design - Fog

  I thought I would post this class first as it is relatively simple to implement and can be put into any XNA engine and is not specific to the HM Engine. Right, the effect of this class can be seen in the earlier post I gave for fog. So without further...

• The Randomchaos3DEngine

  This is where my first real blog post for the engine stated, I kind of laid out the outline of the engine, some of the changes I made to the tutorial code and listed some of the engines objects. This time I am going to try and to the descriptions of those... Posted Oct 13 2007, 08:10 PM by Nemo Krad with | with no comments Filed under: Randomchaos 3D Engine, XNA 1.0
