3D Engine

My Engine is evolving slowly. Features so far:

  • Depth sorting
  • Backface culling
  • Frustum culling
  • Camera movement
  • Texture mapping
  • ASE Model Importer & Texture Loader
  • 2D Sprites
  • Dynamic flat lighting

I prepared a little Spacescene Demo. A Mouseclick changes the camerafollow between the two ships. The Mousewheel zooms in or out of the scene. Launch!

AS3 Sounddetection

My first try with the new AS3 sound classes (SoundMixer.computeSpectrum). This test measures the average sound energy, triggers an event if the energy changes and emits a particle. The particles are 2D particles generated with my 3d Engine: Launch!

F9 Texture Drawing

I’ve been working on my little 3D Engine in the last weeks. Thanks to Andre Michelle’s great Examples I could manage to get the texture mapping to work and integrated a ASE Parser to load meshes from 3d programs. You can draw onto the texture and see the result in the 3d View: Launch!

Fluid Dynamics

After spending a lot time playing around with Plasma Pong I tried to do fluids by myself. I found a Fluid Solver and had just to convert it to C# and add a few Direct X effects. Download not yet available. Watch movie!

Conway’s Game of life

My version of Conway’s game of life. The lifegame is a small cell-life simulation with these simple rules:

  • A cell with 0 or 1 neighbors dies, as if by loneliness.
  • A cell with 4 or more neighbors dies, as if by over-population.
  • Each cell with 2 or 3 neighbors survives.
  • An empty space with 3 neighbors becomes populated.

Click, draw & hit start!
