| Lumina GLSL IDE | | |
| Posted by: Kazade at 7:31:03 AM | |
| |
oc2k1 has sent news of a new version of his GLSL Lumina IDE. Here's a description from OpenGL.org
Quote:
Lumina is a free crossplatform development environment for GLSL shaders. An ECMA script based language is used for tools and rendering control. Lumina provides maximum flexibility that allows the user to build renderer prototypes for deferred shading, depth peeling or HDR rendering, as well as vertex shader and instancing accelerated bezier objects, skinng or GPU based particle systems. This software requires an Opengl 2.0 capable card (GLSL, VBO and FBO).
|
Version 0.3.3 adds several Shader Model 4.0 features including transform feedback, bindable uniforms and layered rendering. These features can be used to build particles systems that can run without any CPU calculations. Check out a video here.
You can download this cool program from the website on Sourceforge

We have some good news! We've finally obtained FTP access to the site!!
I have removed some broken links on the left hand side of the site, also, the Czech and Chinese translation links have been fixed! If anyone has any OpenGL sites that they would like added to the list of links just send an email to nehedev AT gmail DOT com.
We'd like to give the site a bit of a cleanup but our graphic design skills are seriously lacking. If anyone is feeling particularly artistic we could do with a new sharper "Latest NeHe news" ;)
I have uploaded an MASM port of lesson36 which was submitted by UFO-Pu55y, great work!
In the next few weeks we will start adding new content to the site so watch this space! :)

| NeHe tutorials ported to D | | |
| Posted by: Kazade at 7:10:54 AM | |
| |
D is an up and coming language that aims to take the power of C++ and make it better. From the D site:
Its [D's] focus is on combining the power and high performance of C and C++ with the programmer productivity of modern languages like Ruby and Python.
More information can be found here and here. Although immature, its ability to link to C means it can link to many existing libraries including OpenGL and SDL...
Olli Aalto has been busy porting the majority of the original NeHe lessons to D and SDL!!! His ports and tutorials can be found on his blog. Definitely worth a look!!!

As some of you may know, the Khronos group is making some major changes to the OpenGL API. 'Longs Peak' which will be the next OpenGL release will see a revamp of the entire API. Currently the specification is not yet released as it is still being worked on, but some details are discussed in the OpenGL Pipline Newsletter. Links to the 'Long Peaks' information follow:
Using the Longs Peak Object Model
Longs Peak Update: Buffer Object Improvements
Another Object Lesson
Climbing OpenGL Longs Peak - An OpenGL ARB Progress Update

It's worth keeping an eye on this stuff, there are some really cool changes!

I recently created a website which will contain articles / tutorials about game programming. I do not cover graphical API but rather game design from a higher point of view.The first article is up at http://www.everdusk.be/Game_Programming.shtml. The 2nd one will follow in two or three weeks (half written, but, aargh, exams). The first one talks about initial prerequisites about game programming, if an engine should be coded or another one reused, also about what software is available and a bit about code redistribution in the interest of the project (GPL or not).I though It might be of some interest for your audience.Vincent Brzusczak (SKSlayer)

For the last 2.5 years I have been working at a game development studio as lead on a game engine called Rage 3D written in Delphi. The company decided that they where moving the focus to c++, so I resigned, and was given the opportunity to take the engine with me. Rage 3D is now an Open Source engine on Sulaco, and will be distributed under the license on the RageGL Subsite.For a more indepth view of the engine http://www.sulaco.co.za/rage_game_engine/scene_functions.htm.You can also view screenshots of the engine in action. http://www.sulaco.co.za/rage_game_engine/screen_shots.htmThe source for the rage will be available in the next week or so on sourceforge.net.Regards
