I’m doing a small HDR demo for fun. Nothing fancy - linear gamma, Reinhard’s tone mapping and whatnot - everyone does that. But the thing I made so far does not even look good! :)

I’m trying to support both HDR and FSAA at the same time on ordinary DX9 hardware (no Radeons 1k) by using RGBE8 rendertarget for the main scene. It’s all okay so far.

The most difficult task right now is making it look good. Once I have that I’ll post the results.

Like I promised :)

It ownz, period.

Headphones on, winamp alternatively playing The Jupiter Sound and Four Themes and a Masterplan by Little Bitchard. Just the right kind of music for asp.net coding. At least the music is good :)

I wrote an article on the subject I was talking about recently - an auto-magical system that manages device states in the effects. The article and links to implementation are on my homepage here: aras-p.info/texts/d3dx_fx_states.html

I saw Rag Doll Kung Fu website already a while ago. However, only today I saw the video of it’s presentation at GDC. It’s awesome! Will buy the game as soon as it appears on Steam (even if I don’t play games).

Go to downloads section at the site and get this large video presentation. It’s really good.
