Welcome once again, and thanks for clickin on my journal!
When we think of light propagation volumes we think of awesomeness with a ton of light bleeding, right? Well I do, so I've been trying to limit the amount of light bleeding and I find the current result acceptable without being too hackyish…

Well, let's begin shall we! ( This article isn't very focused, it's just small notes and such )
For a while I've been thinking about working on cascaded light propagation volumes, so I finally did. For now I just have a 64 (detailed) + a 32 ( less detailed ) grid that are filled using the vox…

The word "bullshit" is probably an exaggeration, although I honestly dislike it like everyone else does ( At least to my understanding ). What I'm talking about is the glorious exams, not university exams just regular high school exams. But that part is over now, and I'm more or less satisfied with…

PS: No screenshots this time, just me talking!
I haven't really been active lately because of the glorious exams that are nearing me, but it's still nice to know that it's close to over ( At least this round ).
So as the title says, I've been working on a new shading model that tries to support all …

So I've been working on my screen space reflections (SSR) and have been trying to eliminate artifacts. The next step will be the somehow make it more physically, because currently I just base the strength of the reflection linearly on the roughness ( sorta ).

This isn't really an update, it's just me rambling about stuff.
Motivation is awesome, and horrifying, at least I think so. It allows you to completely focus on something for days without thinking twice, or it leaves you staring at the screen thinking "What am I doing with my life...". So how does o…

This isn't really a new big update, just me talking a bit and showing some pictures.
Well, as the title suggests I wanted to play with trees, to see how my shading model handles vegetation together with GI. Now aside from the performance as I've disabled any frustum culling, the performance is not …

Another entry!
So something I never got a basic implementation of was color grading, so today I decided to get a rough implementation. There's still lots to work on, its based on the NVIDIA's post complement sample (http://developer.download.nvidia.com/shaderlibrary/webpages/shader_library.html).

So one topic that we all hear over and over is VOLUMETRIC LIGHTING ( caps intended ). Why? Because its so damn awesome. Why not? Because it can get expensive depending on the hardware. So after countless of tries I scrapped the code I've been wanting to shoot then resurrect then shoot again and jus…

So thanks to this awesome community I got my particle system up and running using structured buffers. My next step will be simulations with it, my goal is to make my particle simulation in the world entirely GPU based.

Terrains are awesome, so therefore I'm trying to mess around with them.
I didnt really need to change anything in my engine because I really dont see any reason to seperate a mesh from a terrain like many engines do. So using World machine to generate a small section of a terrain, I imported the mes…

So we all hate manually ajusting positions and such. "Ohh it should be 0.1 to the right, ohh well, better recompile.... Hmm no actually 0.05" and so on... So I decided I wanted to make an editor, or start.
Now I had a great problem, which was the fact that my project was built under the /MT option. …

So I was an idiot and used Asus Ez update to update a few things, and by mistake selected a new bios. Now the problem is that Ez Update isnt really good for bios updates. Right, so I didn't cancel it in time and it just got stuck on 99%. Now I was really afraid of cancelling the update, because you…

I finally got my new pc up and running, shes working smooth and quiet with no issues yet. After reinstalling everything, I had some fun with the scene that comes with the Hieroglyph 3 framework, so I added a bunch of plants and grass. This was the result:

So I'm just going to show off some images of progression, actually its just a minor update as not much has changed, however my DOF is much better. And for some reason SSAO is bugged so its turned off. Also the sponza material file is bugged so I made a few changes.

When I first started doing "semi serious" graphics programming, I called it Cuboid Engine, because it sounded cool and my first accomplishment was, well, a cube! So througout the development I was basically just putting lots of things together, and my only concern was:

So I've always had a hard time finding any "good" foilage models online, so searching a bit more I found the ( It's most likely not completely legal, but, its good for testing ) TF3DM, and found some awesome tree models.
Result? Eye candy!

So after a long battle with an invisible enemy, I defeated the evil bug, with some awesome help from the forums! ( kudos to bact and the gd chat! ):

So I'm working on interleaved voxels, but something went horribly wrong. Instead the voxels started shifted between multiple dimensions at the same time...

So, I never actually went into depth of field, but its an important part that I always wanted to integrate, but was way to lazy to do it. So I maned up, and did it whilst failing a couple of times. The actual effect is still not very good but its getting there. And as always, the only reason why yo…

In my last entry I described how the interpolation was poor, so I decided to "smoothe" them out. I used the compute shader to "propagate" over the neighbouring cells. This progress was done 10 passes. Below is a comparison between new and old results, the new are much better!

For a long while I've known theres been a problem when testing for shadow visibility with my voxels during my injection of voxel lighting. But as usual I got too lazy and left it. So I got along with the problem, I called it Steve, I created lots of hackish solutions to mimic the "correct" shadow t…

The Global Illumination by Light Propagation Volumes is progressing in a nice way. Even though this is an artifact in a weird way, it still produces a nice result. The surface is too thin for the grid to not capture both sides. But it looks nice.
But not all is good, there's still weird artifacts:

So, before anyone jumps on the "dont make your own language" wagon, I'm only trying this because I thought it would be an interesting challange and it'd be a great oppertunity to understand how other languages work on the inside.

Photos at the top! The gallery stuff!
( The photos are ONLY showing the GI, and are oversaturated to show the effect )
This is a very early prototype of my implementation of Light Propagation Volumes. I spent loads of hours on a very simple error, that turned out to be ridiculous:
