    Rofl, I believe him. It was probably a second semester graphics class (the math part, not so much the drawing) final project.

    First semester actually, and we've got one more project ahead of us.

    Ah, well then you took a different direction than we did.

    We worried more about modeling, and splines/patches/etc.

    That's cool. I kinda wish we had taken a little more practical approach to this stuff. As cool as raytracing is, you aren't going to be using it in a job unless you happen to be working for Pixar or ILM.

    We did two projects in OpenGL, one where we made a heightfield just to get us introduced to the library, and then we made a rollercoaster using cubic splines. I kinda wish we had gotten more into the spacial partitioning structures, cause everything I did for those projects was just polys plastered naively on the screen.

    Unfortunately there's a waiting list for advanced graphics next semester. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Thanks. If any of you guys want, I could put together some higher res renders. This one took somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes. (It is however using 64x antialiasing, and every shadow samples each light with 64 rays.)

    Fortunately the spatial partitioning literature is pretty complete. Once you know the basis of how the coordinate systems work, it just takes a little reading. Portal systems, for one, should now look darned obvious (beam hits portal, beam warps somewhere else). If you're optimization-curious, it may well be worth taking a look at edge detection and differential supersampling.

    I spent the entire project for one grad course looking at minkowski sums of binary space partitions (see also: Half-Life collision hulls), so these things do have some useful benefits ;) Also various companies tell me they value the whole initiative and interest thing, regardless of the actual field they want you working in.

    Now you just have to get it running in real time on your standard high level system...




    Get cracking!

    Oh yeah? Well, I can make that in Maya and Mental Ray!

    Except it's like 10 minutes of work. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> GJ man.
