GLBasic - en / Re: Streaming command for texture?¿

« on: 2011-Dec-09 »

Multithreading is what he asks for And GLB doesn't support it natively.

Would be useful not only for loading, but for more heavy routines, for example AI

If possible I would like for general  multithreading support instead of a specific command.

GLBasic - en / Re: Pixelated lighting

« on: 2011-Nov-04 »

I believe this has to do with the fact the light in glbasic is per-vertex and not per-point.

So, if per-vertex, the more detailed is the object the better.

I believe.. lol

Run the app with ./ before. eg: ./app.linux

That will tell you what are the libs missing

GLBasic - en / Re: Using ALPHAMODE to have both shadowed and illuminated areas

@Antonio this is for PolyVector sprites and not 3D objects bud.

Ups... disregard my post then

Isn't there a way to set the object material?

This type of effects (darken, lighten, etc) is achieved by the object's material  (ambient, diffuse, specular and emissive).

Basically, materials configure how the object will reflect the lights. We can even set part of the object to glow while the other parts are dark (ex: a house by night with the windows glowing because of the inside lights?)

Anyway, from the manual:

"While in 3D mode, only objects or parts of objects that are between znear# and zfar# relative distance to the camera will be drawn."

We just need to know if the engine also culls objects *outside* the viewport

Hi,

Frustum Culling is used to remove the objects outside the View Frustum (the visible area). So, to answer your question, no, it don't make nothing. The whole 3D scene is rendered first, and then the 2D on top of it.

Can we do like this? I'm not sure (i mean, compare ref with the i element)

Code: GLBasic [Select]

foreach v in var[]
   do_your_stuff
   print GetRefId(v), 0, 0
next

function GetRefId: ref
    FOR i = 0 to BOUNDS(var[],0)-1
    if ref = var[i]
        return i
    NEXT
endfunction

I don't think so... At least I didn't find any.

What is the purpose?
