Screenshot of the Month April-June 2010 [Winner!]

[stefbuet]

Here is a simulation I've just made in 1 week to illustrate a project I had to do for my engineering school. I'll use this during the oral representation.

It simulate an ion thruster (used by spaceships), and you can enable or not a lot of parameters to see how it's working.

I'm using Irrlicht 1.7 / Irrklang / Newton game dynamics.
I'll post a video later, because a screenshot is not so representative of it, in fact there are a lot of mouvements.

red:electrons
green : Xenon atoms
blue : Xenon ions
blue + glow : Accelerated xenon ions

Dude! Give us more info! That looks pretty damm cool!

wing64 is back to win all the screenshot comps again.

Nice job wing

[wing64]

Thanks Kalango and BlindSide.

A couple of questions:

those models look highly detailed, are you using any shader to accelerate the skin calculations?

And

Are you using any frustum wrapping algorithm (LiSPSM, TSM...)for the shadowmapping?

Other than that, congratulations, i wish i could make some screens like that

[borges]

wow that was awesome!
really shy to publish my humble screen here after wing64

A challenger has appeared!

@Mel
1. Yes, I used normalmap technique. http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=21186
2. PSSM for shadow mapping. http://appsrv.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~fzhang/pssm_project/

Thanks for question.

[Mel]

Very interesting! Thanks for your answers.

[borges]

result?

[hybrid]

Yeah, sorry. I'm late again with this, hopefully have some time over the weekend to start the voting.

[stefbuet]

Let's vote for my ion thruster simulation, it will revolutionize you life if you do so

[Escen]

it will revolutionize you life if you do so

Ohh Yes... I can feel the Power!! Where can I vote?

parabéns borges!
