Today I gave a presentation at the first Summer University at the HdM. The last two days, Andreas Stiegler talked a lot about engine architecture, gameobjects and making everything ready for multiplayer games. I talked about how to connect a render pipeline to the engine and also about deferred rendering and lightprepass renderer. You can watch the slides here:
Or download as pdf. As soon as its ready you can also watch my talk at events.mi.hdm-stuttgart.de
First of all, happy new year to everyone.
During the last weeks I started implementing shadows for the sun light. This is the result:
Currently I use a regular 2k shadowmap with a 12 tap random disc PCF. You can see some noise artifact at the shadow borders. I tried a blur pass on it, but the result looked even more ugly.
Here it is, the first shots with multiple lights in nice colors… Christmas time! Also note the slight depth blur in the second shot…
still no shadows
