[color=#4A4A4A]For no reason what so ever (Maybe it has to do with the fact that I got the last week off ) I made a CPU based Radiosity Rendering API for my engine. I have already had it on compute shader for about 4 weeks but, wanted to (for some reason) move it to CPU

I also made a commentary of myself while I made it. It started out as a tutorial but, that quickly ended once I forgot basic calc (where did my math teacher go wrong!?!?)

I will post it here once first video in the 25 part series uploads (each one is about 1:30 hours long, I have only edited the first one and will only release one video per week)

Feedback? Questions? Comments?

Also, if you see a issue in my code (I was tired when I recorded so, I missed a lot of basic things) please post a fix here

Thanks, hope I get some new subscribers

(Also I recreated content building within SLIMDX, but I most certainly will not be sharing source code since I made it for a client)

[color=#4A4A4A]Here is the commentary/tutorial episode 1!

Sorry, but I honestly think this is a waste of time =S ~40 hours of you writing code for your engine in a somewhat low res video that makes it hard to follow what you do... might be a great sleeping aid though.

Are you sure, I do as a matter of fact remember recording them in 1080p

Make sure the video wasn't uploading and try again

Okay, thanks for the feedback. I will plan out the lesson and re-record (lol) this week end

Try to plan the videos... so you dont waste time talking to yourself too much. What some video tutorials from Adobe...

Im interested in watching your tutorials, but in 40 hours I think I can read every paper that was ever made about radiosity and still eat some cookies ...

P.S. Also, I heard you saying ****...

Good luck.

I have ran into an issue when planing out the tutorial, and I dont want to have an issue when I am recording

Does anyone here know how to get a color off of a 360 angle?

public Radiosity()

f = new FormFactor();
}
FormFactor f;
public float Bounce(Surface Primary, Surface Secondary)
{
float r = 0f;
float F = f.ComputeFormFactor(Primary, Secondary);
F *= Secondary.Radiosity;
F *= Primary.prop.Reflectivity;
r = F + Primary.prop.Emissitivity;
Primary.Radiosity = r;
r = DecodeToAngle( r );
Primary.ColorFromVector(new Vector3( r ));
return r;
}
public float DecodeToAngle(float Radiosity)
{
float t = 0;
t = Radiosity;
t *= 360;
return t;
}
}
}

As you can see, it outputs the color as an angle but, I need a way to convert that into a RGB color.
