Hmm... Mine's not quite of that kind
Gimme 3 More days

ProgressiveMeshBuffer



This mesh buffer can create less detailed models using edge contraction (with serveral algorithms)
Very usefull for creating LOD meshes on the fly, also works with textures and bump/normal maps.

Already using this in TANK@WAR 1.2 to create less detailed models of the tanks for the LOD system

Though I couldn't see any rabbit in T@W 1.2, maybe for 1.3 :p ?

Really sweet though. Hope you will release some source ?!

Why using a mesh buffer for this? Looks more like a geometry manipulator which would then be used with a scene node animator... Anyway, looking forward to see the code!

Didnt see any? :O There is one hopping around in Free Hills

Its not really a MeshBuffer as it not implements from IMeshBuffer.
I would release it if people want to improve it further (and share it ofcourse) because it could use some optimizations. Its quite slow for big meshes. ( Might take some minutes for those bunnys :O )
But for the current use in TANK@WAR its quite fast, it takes about 2-3 sec (on my machine) to create all the tank LOD meshes (4 LODs per mesh) needed for the game.

Yes, a patch for geometry manipulator please

I still haven't anything ready to roll so i can show a decent screenshot that i haven't shown before.

[ent1ty]

well?

Wow, amazing Nadro!

Second that! Awesome stuff!

Third that! The shadows are soft and the bloom is just right

Good work RdR

Really tough voting this time

Thanks guys!

More competition is always good... bring it on (But can you really compete with a screenshot with hearts in it?)

Couldn't agree more.
