Engine Demo

not a bad demo, i noticed that you have some culling problems though (tree's and stuff just disappear when i walk towards them). quite nice looking engine though :)

anyway, i get about 120fps on an athlon 1.1ghz with 512mb ram and a radeon 9600xt

thanks, yeah the culling is a problem beeing fixed, also trying to get light maps working(painfull)

i get 140fps on AMD2400XP 512mb ram 9600XT

ok its been updated(same link) culling fixed

geforce 3, amd 2500, 512mb ram - 50fps

hi, i tried running your demo but it doesnt do much at all on my system...the loading screen comes up then disappears after a second or 2...

i looked in the system.txt file and it spat out the following:

my PC is:
Athlon 2600+
512MB RAM
GeForce4 Ti 4200 128MB

check u have the latest drivers and dx9...

the shader that should work it failing for some reason o.0

ok...ill try that

That's pretty damn cool. Is it a uni assignment, or just for fun?

Machine used

P4 2.53
1gb RAM
128mb Radeon 9700 Pro
Latest Catalyst and DX9b

Lowest frame rate was 117fps. Highest was about 260fps (staring at the sky :p). Generally it hovered between 140-210fps. There are a few clipping problem with the doors in the white castle. There are also some trees floating in mid air :)

yeah just for fun,and a job if it helps ;)

yeah the door are to close to another poly i need to fix that, and plant the trees down on earth :P

nice frames

my PC is:
Athlon 2600+
512MB RAM
GeForce4 Ti 4200 128MB

got the latest drivers and worked perfect...

roughly the lowest FPS i got was 60, highest about 250 (again, looking at the sky)...stayed between 70 and 90 FPS most of the time...

looks kool by the way!

this is really Kane by the way...i didnt realise My brother didnt sign out of his Sumea account...damn him

so which one was it, driver or dx9?

ok i read drivers ;) thx for that

I wasnt able to run it until I deleted this line "filter = D3DTEXF_LINEAR" From the ini file, is that a mip mapping thing?.
I got anywhere from 20 to 70 fps on my athlon 1ghz 512 ram, gforce 4 ti4200, latest nvidia drivers (which are lousy) and latest directx

So guys any chance I could get my hands on your plugins and fool around with your engine a little ;) I like it :)

Have you got LOD's working ,portals or other polygon culling methods?

no LOD yet, and my culling needs some work ;)
its the texture filtering method :-/ hrmm strange that
