OK, some quick update for those who are interested in what I'm working
on:
Visibility system, using a combination of kd-trees and a 2D version
of
the beamtree (hoping that transforming into screen space is cheaper
than
maintaining a real beamtree, also hoping that my ideas about
real-time
beamtree simplification and screen space coherence work)
Generic kd-tree compiler, idea came from Chris Babcock (friend of
Harmless).
Compiler subdivides using kd-tree algorithm until stop-criterium is
reached, then it subdivides the polygons in the node using BSP. Good
thing
is, such a compiler can also be used as a pure BSP compiler, by
stopping
at the first kd-tree node. It's a perfect tool for spatial
subdivision
experiments that way.
FocusII, which is mostly just a subset of Focus. The idea is to
create a
set of really generic libraries that I can use for all kinds of 3D
applications. Completed so far: Generic screen handling. I can write
a
windows app that displays something in just 4 lines of C code.
Nothing
fancy, nothing special, it just saves me a lot of time. Generic
polygon
structure stuff is almost complete (I'm using it for the compiler
already), and some other things are in the works. Difficult part is
always keeping things generic...
That's it. I have only an hour or so each day to code... That sucks.
Progress is going slowly, but that gives me lots of time to think. :)
