Topic: Developing new instancing algorithm with CUDA
Mindblast !!4IKKtS9GG started this discussion 15 years ago#7,180
It's pretty exciting, I'm working with CUDA, parallax occlusion mapping with an edge culling algorithm, and directx to create a very low-resource and realistic vegetation engine. I'm sorry I have no screencaps now, as I've only just got the triangles and terrain rendered. However, I will probably have the base terrain finished by Sunday, assuming school does not interfere. I'm also going to pick up some 3ds skills and possibly put together a detailed WURM-esque demo. If you have a CUDA-enabled graphics card, you'll be in for an impressive feat.
I know there isn't much content now, but I've done ~90% of the learning and work already. If you have any questions, I'll try to answer ASAP. I'll be sleeping soon, but I'll probably be back on tomorrow.

This sounds very cool. I don't entirely understand it, but I look forward to the results. Is this a C-derived language?

ANSI C, yes. Here's the wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA
If you have a new NVIDIA card, you'll probably be able to develop it.

I have a CUDA card
why should this concern me

I might release a demo

I have "Intel GMA950 graphics processor with 64MB of DDR2 SDRAM" :3

I'm sure that will be adequate to view the screenshots.
