Dynamic soft shadow, materials, dynamic lighting per-pixel, parallax mapping, rain.



Looks good, but some more technical info might be nice. OpenGL or DirectX? What sort of techniques are you using for your soft shadows? Are you doing any parallax mapping?

From the looks of things my first guess would be opengl, but that could be because of the textures. I'm am thinking it's directx.


TechDemo is written in OpenGL. I use percentage closer filtering for soft shadow (with custom kernel). It use normal mapping and parallax mapping (witch offset limiting). Rain is a post processing effect (Edit: image space efect).

This looks really good :D

What technique did you use for the rainfall? I'm interested in how that post-process works.

Looks good. How do you do rain as a post process effect?


Nice demo!

I would like a video to appreciate the moving rain. Is it possible?
Or a link to the demo to try it on my computer...

Looks very nice!!! Good work!!

This technique works in image space (
this is a simplification of the technique from Toyshop).

Think I found the whitepaper, its from ATI (guys who made Toyshop demo) and think it was around GDC '06.

great demo indeed,
however you are surely aware that rain effect
can be used only on static scenes right?


nice demo but the rain looks odd.. you should add a parallax effect
also try to take in account the camera velocity and change the rain direction accordingly

anyway screen space rain is not the best solution for rain
I would really suggest a particles based approach (check the latest shaderx book)
they used it in the latest moto gp and it looks really good !
also with this technique you can easily switch the particle shape & velocity and simulate snow...

anyway good job.. rally good demo
have you done this in order to find a job in the game industry ?
