Very, very impressive. Will this use Occlusion Culling?
Hmm I wonder would OC hurt more than it would help in this case where we only have 1 CPU?

Occlusion culling is a relatively new method used for very free-form and even dynamic scenes which pose a lot of overdraw and dense environments. Both geometric and image-based OC work very well on 1 CPU, Unreal and Lyncis have proven that.
About the issue of OC being practical; not a single bit on low-perf calcs. They're better off with heavily precomputed, static spatial structures.

And here, after reading the first half your sentance, I though you were going to say you made something like this a few years ago.KermMartian wrote:Just for the record, that bouncing cubes demo is AMAZING.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
That demo is amazing. However, I noticed that without the lcd fix program, the display gets messed up after a little while of running this on an 84+SE. With it, it works fine.
Stupid TI display drivers
Katmaster: great idea. I planned to use this as a screensaver as well.

That's all BASIC, btw.
Leave it on for a while. It may take a few minutes. If you haven't run the LCD fix program, it will probably appear that the right 1/3 of your screen is frozen, and the entire display is compressed in to the remaining 2/3. This can also happen in some games. (I've seen it happen much faster in phantom star) You should put this program on your calc. It can fix a bunch of problems that are caused by the bad display drivers. Here is a link.currahee wrote:CompWiz wrote:LCD fix proggie?

We've all written Basic 3D engines (or I guess most of us have), and they are all slow and useless. So apart from proving CompWiz right, what exactly are you trying to say?KermMartian wrote:http://www.cemetech.net/news.php?151
