ZGameEditor forum

Thanks for wrapping that up!

impressive :) though I have no idea what's going on here. Can you explain what steps are carried out in the OnRender node? Why did you switch to a Mesh instead of the DisplayList (whatever that is) What's this about: glMatrixMode(0x1700); glPushMatrix(); glLoadIdentity(); What's going on in the Buff...

indeed I'm lost :) In the example above... How do the variables tex1 get to the shader? It's declared but never assigned anything (unlike the coord var). I can imagine how it works though. texture() reads color information from the texture tex1, but where is it defined that my Bitmap that's assigned...

Haven't looked at your effect closely, but you're probably going to end up with at least two FBO's ( RenderTarget ) between which you "ping-pong" double buffer style. One containing the results for the current frame, the other for the previous frame. OK thanks! Can you give me some exampl...

OK thanks that's useful!

How can I store float (or fixed if necessary) variables for each vertex?

Also I'd need to access FL's data from the shader (Parameters, BandSpecArray and AudioArray)

I guess that's done through the UniformVariables node?

Also I need some functions to calculate stuff: atan2, sqrt, floor, clamp
Are these available in shader code?

Hi guys, Kjell did an excellent job on the basic shader for this. You should be able to figure it out from there. That's probably a little optimistic :roll: Since ZGE doesn't support floating-point buffers ( it actually does internally for the GPU Array, but it's not exposed anywhere in the Editor ...

That is awesome guys

Can't look into it now (I'm kinda busy during the week) but will asap.

You think it's possible to implement my physics code into that and it's gona run a quadrillion times faster?

Can you explain in short terms how to implement a shader?

This from the IL thread: I did some performance tweaks, but it doesn't help much. accessing arrays seems to be quite CPU intensive in ZGE. From Ville : Parameters can bring performance down slightly but it sounds a bit extreme to bring fps to half. Quick tip is to use local vars. For instance if you...

Hey guys! I added parameters to the pixel particles and created another preset meanwhile... (for those of you that aren't following the thread at IL) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kosmsJ1GxLM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCe7RtEz3BA I have some issues with the pixel particles: 1. would it be poss...

Indeed it keeps things simple to add and change things, but then ZgeViz should be still alpha or beta version. I think if it is a full version it should be "finished". But the UI is the least of my problems :) Fixing the focus issues or threaded processing would be much more useful... cheers

Yeah thanks I got it sorted out. 1. I didn't remember where I stored the old version. 2. Windows doesn't let you change the program in control panel if the name of the exe file is the same apparently. I fixed it with regedit (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\zgeproj_auto_file\shell\open\command) Still an installer...

Hi! Working with ZgeViz recently I discovered some things that could be improved: - the "Stay on top" checkbox in the viewport window is not working like I expect it to. When enabled, as soon as you focus another non-FL window it jumps in the background. The best solution, if possible, wou...

Thanks guys! I think I'll use this thread/forum here from now on :) I will check out the user bitmap loading and adding parameters. Right now I have a bit of a Windows problem I think. When I double click a zgeproj file in Explorer, it opens it with an old version. It seems impossible to change the ...
