EGOEngine

November, 19 2006 - Engine update

New for the month:

New functionality of OpenGL and DirectX9 renderers: Floating-point format textures Floating-point format render targets HLSL shaders(only for DX9 renderer)	File system: Reading from compressed and uncompressed .zip files Virtual directories(including compressed) File to memory mapping
Shader manager: Setup of vertex streams and vertex shader input Setup of texture unit for sampler names Pre-defined variables Shader function library	Memory manager: Memory leak detection + call stack

October, 13 2006 - Development info

At the beginning of September I decided to stop working on the OGL graphic framework, and start development of full engine for comfortable creation of 3D programs. The engine will include not only work with graphic API, but also physics, sound, input and AI. The abstraction level will go much higher.

A month passed and I already have some results:
OpenGL and DirectX9 renderers(cross-API):

2D textures (.bmp, .tga, .dds), Cube Maps (.dds), Volume textures (.dds), Compressed textures (.dds)
Render to texture with Multiply Render Targets(MRT) support
GLSL shaders (using cgc.exe to compile those for DX)
AntiAliasing
Two-sided stencil
Automatic setup of standard matrixes for shaders

Input(DirectInput):

Mouse, keyboard device
Conversion of key codes to Unicode character, depending on current language

July, 04 2006 - Big Transparent Shadows Demo

At the beginning of June I came to an idea of creating a demo showing shadows from transparent objects. After a while I decided that just one effect won't be enough, and I have to create something bigger, something very interesting and put a lot of different effects in it.

I have an ATI Radeon 9800, and I got everything from it.
The main effects in the demo are:

Shadows from transparent objects
Postprocess refraction (bumped glass)
Particles with refraction (heat haze)
Volumetric lighting

Light shafts
Volumetric Fog
HDR with tone mapping and bloom

Here is some screenshots from the demo (all of them could be found in Gallery section).

I use floating point render targets in this demo, so you need at least Radeon9500 or GeForce6200.
