XNA / HLSL Environment Engine - Snow
Loading...
Uploaded by jstoecker911 on Feb 15, 2009
Shows a work in progress 3D environment engine. Currently has billboard vegetation, skydome w/ custom shader, heightmap terrain w/ multi-texturing, a custom GUI built from scratch, and rain/snow effects. The snow shader is a pseudo-particle system that runs entirely on the GPU. The first clips have ~1 million particles (the end has ~8 million) running smoothly on a relatively modest laptop (ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3650 graphics card).
The water shader is not mine, though I modified it a bit to blend w/ terrain and horizon, and I intend to replace it. Still need to add some clouds and other atmospheric effects.

Hi, I wonder if you still have the article as well as the source updated to somewhere else since ziggyware went down. Thanks.

Sure, I hosted it in a zip file on my own website for now. The link in the video has been changed to reflect this. Sorry about that.

The article should be in the .zip file as "weather.doc"

waw, this is beautiful !
Is your hlsl shader available somewhere ? Is it for sale ?

Thanks. I put a link to an article at the start of the video: it explains the shader and has the source code for a demo. This particular video does NOT make use of the "infinite" particle system stuff in the article; it's just the snow shader using a single large box.

That snow looks awesome. Is it done with individual particles or is there some kind of aggregation going on in the background?

All particles.
