It never fails. I post a screenshot, then under an hour later I do something that makes it look completely different(modulative detail texturing on the terrain and a better grass blade texture). Ugh.

--EDIT: The screeny here is now obsolete, I just added detail texturing which makes it look much better. See above.
So today I got up with one goal in mind, write a sound manager using the 2d sound library Audiere, but make it pan depending on position to fake 3D. And I did. And it works =D

Phht, blender and its addiction to flat shading, it doesn't do this justice at ALLLLLL!

Yesterday, someone who will remain nameless told me that he didn't believe that my clouds were completely 3d, he said they looked prerendered. I guess that's a complement.
But for the sake hard work, without further ado, I present to you polish upon polish upon polish. (I should probably shut up now…

So I have been making progress, mainly with map changing and such, I'll let the screenshots do the talking.
Two issues with this image just stand out to me.
1) you're zoomed out so far the cave looks like a teacup, or a keyhole

Now I officially love my hair, no I'm not asian... it's just the lighting.
Incoming shitty webcam picture captain.
In other news, I fixed a problem today, now 16 bit raw heightmaps work, meaning more detail and no banding on the terrain =D.

So yesterday QRebound and I fleshed out an entire back story, and the beginning story. QRebound designed a map, and I being 1/4 artist took a day to flesh it out(in between coding sessions and other things). I think that it turned out really nice.

Please, not another word, nobody else ask me what splatting is without googling it. [flaming]
EDIT: Gah... Texture Splatting We use that, except 8 textures, 4 splat maps, 4 textures. Each splat map corrisponds to a texture.

The ninja, proud, returns to retake its place as the placeholder model.
Revuya: We use 6 quads in a star pattern assembled onto a sort of half-sphere, it looks a lot nicer than camera oriented billboards.

Today I implemented placing grass by parsing splatmap image data for the grass splatmap. All it takes is the size of the island, the thickness of the grass, and the grass's splatmap's name. I'd say it looks pretty good ;)

It's been asked, how do your islands load?
Very simple, you fly off of one island, it gets fogged out, unload that island. When you get close enough to a new island that island/map is loaded then fogged in.
But what about load times?
Well if worse comes to worse we'll invest in threading, but I don't …

So, PLSM has given us plenty of issues lately, so know what? no more paged landscape. The new design of Dragon's Blood's world is many small islands that you can fly in between.. I like it =P.
Damn.. I'm tired.
(Yes that is EDI's water image, he let me borrow it)

Not a real post, only news is that DB is crashing randomly on QRebound's computer for some odd reason.

So I have issues.
I have an issue with PLSM2 that goes unanswered on the PLSM forums...
I have an issue with my teamate who is impossible to motivate, he took forever to commit the changes from when I was gone, and he left some important files out so I can't compile.

Most of you have probably been glad to be rid of me... or not noticed I was gone at all. I've been in a place that must be close to nowhere, Indiana. There's a lot of corn... But I've gotten a good break from computers, I've gone canoeing and all that fun shit. I've also been working on game specif…

Well I have been working on vegetation, in this image you see 9 trees(150 tris each) and 5000 grass meshes batches with Ogre's static geometry feature =)
I can assure you, no plants were harmed in the making of this screenshot
Next is taller grass that waves in the wind, ooohohoho =P
