Haven't checked yet but the code seems cool, so it probably will look cool. Keep up the great work.

Hey that's VERY nice indeed With some proper colour tables (for a more demo-style effect rather than a straight RGB mix) it would look even more lovely. Nice work!

Nice.

Why do the cameras have to be continually deleted and recreated? I made them permanent and got flickering spheres which eventually became totally white. What is causing that?

@Jukuma - I have not seen a plasma effect in this code yet, I have tried all 3 peices (in DBP) and the first gets me a cube in the upper corner that does nothing, the second peice gives me a red spinning cube in the center of the screen that does nothing but spin, and the third gives me 3 sets of spheres circling an invisable cube, the spheres are white and the backdrop is red, but nothign else happens and I am not getting the color cycling that I was expecting for the plasma effect.( I have a snippet of plasma that is cool here-->:http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=60900&b=6 --

-- But however I think that the Music section in the third snippet is awsome! I will deffinately play with that and try to make some cool music happen, I was not aware that that could even be done until I saw this post!. perhaps you could make a snippet with Just the music code and how to use it(like a tutorial)

anyway if you have ideas why the rest did not work in Pro, let me know.

Does your graphics card support vertex and pixel shaders, Angry kreyon?

@Blanky - Not sure if it does or not, it's a great video card and I have not had any trouble with any other graphics, but I can't say for sure either way. ( it's an intel(R)82865G graphics controller. ) - I found some info on my Card from Intels website, it is as follows:

Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 Specifications

Enhanced 2D

256-bit internal path

8/16/32bpp

DirectDraw*, GDI, GDI+

Anti-aliased text support

Alpha blending

Alphas stretch blitter

Hardware alpha blended RGB cursor

Color space conversion

5x2 overlay support

Rotate, scale and translate operations


High-performance 3D

256-bit internal path

32bpp/ 24ZorW/ 8 Stencil

DX7*/DX8*/OGL*1.1

DXTn texture compression

Up to 4 textures / pixel on a single pass

Cubic reflection map

Embossed/DOT3 bump mapping

Multi-texture

DOT3 bump-mapping

Point sprites

---------------------

thats all I Can find on it, so I am still not sure but it looks like I should be able to.

thx to all!

@angry kreyon
i think your graphics card work in a 16 bit or 24bit mode.
change to 32 bit mode and the code would have to run. otherwise i
don't understood this problem.

@raven
nice idea! i work on it, with a realtime bump mapping, but it's
still really slowly at present.

amazing code

however is there any way of getting rid of those ugly lines going through the middle?

im a noob at this and can barely get my text games to work however, so ignore me if its a stupid question.

thanks all!

@diablo
can't see ugly lines in the middle

to save frames for the realtime reflection on the spheres.
the cam's for the cube map shifted to the next sphere every frame,
so the all updated in a period of 3 frames.

Can someone post a screenshot? I get some strange memblock error when compiling.

Strange! I just tried compiling again(on the same PC and everything), and no error!

It looks very awesome! What's your secret!?

Diablo,

Try to upgrade your video driver.

I had similar problems with the vertex shaders and the upgrade solved most of my problems.

Good Luck, Ryan
