Hi all, I would greatly value peoples opinion.. Im just finishing my 2nd year of a software engineering degree (bussy as heck right now) and im thinking about my final year project. I said to a tutor that I was interested in doin a game engine related project (I have done DirectDraw in my free time) and he sujested doing:- ** Different collision detection methods for a 3D world. ** in which i would research all the different methods and show which one/combination was best.. my question to you would be is thois a large project or is it a week project ? any other interesting ideas you could throw in would be apriciated personally I was thinking a comparison of a basic 3D engine in DirectX compared with one in Glide .. too big a project ?? thanks Tim (whos very sleepy)

build a 3d rendering engine with

1) bsp tree
2) octree / quadtree
3) portals on a bsp tree
4) some other way ...



then make comparisons between them, make suggestions on improving them.. suggest more applications for them. Example is that you can use a portal engine for radiosity (since u can make a pvs)


oh yeah.. dont forget collision detections.. like line of sight, ray casting, ray tracing.. blah blah...


{ Stating the obvious never helped any situation !! }

ok thanks people :-)

i think i may go for the project of developing 2 seperate engines and comparing them cuz that way its more scalable

thanks

Tim
