We developed this kind of 3dengine 6 weeks ago and we would have seen you with tears in your eyes, when lanching the final game, hehe.

Thanks, as you :o)

Believe me, it was hard to see your engine here, when we are closed to finished our game. We all knew, that this is great stuff for all.

I watched your site too, and I see, that you are very familiar with these 3d workaounrds. Very fine work.

I hope next week, we can publish our game.
Stay tuned :o)

thanks, havent done much to my site for a while :)

just registered on flashforum.de so i could download your fla, tis nice work :)

AndreMichelle, wondered if you gave any thought to bumps on your engine? I'm convinced there must be a way to do it but that eureka moment is escaping me.

you mean bumpmapping ?

I didn't thought of it much more, cause I tried to add several layer to the movieclip, which were attach and translate. The performance was horrible, so I didn't make more research.
Even one more grafic decreases performance.
You can simluate a light bumping by grafics. Not really convincing, but anyhow :o)

But did you break apart the grafic and cut a rectangle out of it ?
The car could fall into a hole :o)
We didn't implement this, it was to late. Next time - next game :p

*play eerriieee music*

the secret is in the massskkkss..... loooook to the masksssss

wooooooooooo

i... i sorry

arg, the masks!

Are you talking about drawing the masks dynamically on each frame ?

PercyPea, thanks I read your comments before and looked at your example - but altering the masks is a 2D distortion effect not a pseudo 3D displacement map - i.e. it has no interaction with the 3D space at all. Your example is great for a visual effect but I'm after more realism for the project I have in mind.

As I mentioned before a dynamic mask system would need to adjust according to a height map lookup table.

K... here a less crude example

the hills are infinite, but as you turn they kind of work :)

it would be possible using this method to make a landscape

I had to use your engine Andre, hope you dont mind, but i didnt have mine here at work.

slow as hell, but impressive :p

How do you compute the form of the masks ?

PercyPea,cool one :)
andre: sag bescheid,falls ihr noch jemand braucht,der bei eurem game mitmacht (wink,wink ;) )

LOL! This thread will soon become the biggest of them all!

the mask is drawn like this

*------*-------*-------*-------*

with 5 points along the top for the 'lineTo's and then again for 2 pixels below to close the mask.

in the version i just put up, the points y position simply follow a sine wave as you turn.

Im sure theres a way though to make the points match a predefined landscape and move and adjust with it.

but ya, theres gonna be a big performance hit :)

If i had time i might explore it more, but unfortunatly I dont :(

PercyPea that game is absolutely amazing!!!!!
How can you make a game like that in Flash.

brilliant!!!

:D :D :D

I've already seen strille's, PercyPeas, and Blink's work linked in 3 other forums. And we're having guest appearances by Andre Michelle...I love the games forum!!!

i wanna be able to do this stuff:(

you will be able to

when i was ur age i could do nowt!

just keep practicing and u'll get better

good mexicanmonkee!

HILLSSS.. I can smell them, I know they are coming soon.
