HOLY SHIT pushing 15k views enjoy ur middleschool trolls who hate it cuz its not halo

also super impressed with the pupil eye effect thing...extremely epic.

so ull have the whole thing done before the semester starts? im sure that would piss off some classmates

The lighting is really cool. I like the Iris effect you programed. If Tom isn't doing any work, he should bake you a cake.

[p4r4digm]

noone wants cake from tom I assure you >: (

[marcomorain]

Show us the tools!

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

I will when I have some! Keep in mind that the graphics so far have only had two (arduous) weeks of work.

Awesome work. I've got down some of the basics in direct3d but I've got a ways to go. I really like your particle system.

Are you creating this in direct3d or opengl? What are your primary resources?

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

Thanks!

This is pure OpenGL. That's it. Models are created and imported from 3DS Max through a custom importer/exporter combo.

The game will probably eventually use FMOD for audio, and there's a chance that it'll use a physics engine like Bullet. Besides that, everything is "in house."

you are on the right track... but still alot of works needed to be done.. dont give up..

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

Thanks! I'm actually quite psyched about this project, but you're right there's a ton of work to be done (like a game.)

Should be good!

Cool video. What kind of keyboard do you have? Maybe I'm just hearing things that aren't really there, but it sounded like you have some kind of mechanical switches.

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

Wow, good ears. I have a das keyboard ultimate.

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

I bought it to replace an old-piece-of-crap keyboard so it would be hard to fail, but I really do love it. It's perfect for a guy who codes all day.

[youknuckle]

I salute you sir. BTW i especially like the DOF effect

[Kreadus005]

Livin the dream buddy, hehe.

[emddudley]

I like the full screen motion blur. Looks cool.

[vigneshkannan]

nice work!

[Babybahamut]

Looking nice! The adaptive lighting thing is clever.

NFFT?

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

Very temporary name while we figure stuff out... It stands for "Not Final Fantasy Tactics" =P
