Hi everyone!

Were starting work on adding a keyframe animation protocol to the engine. Will post any updates on the engine.

Hello everyone!

I've finally managed to integrate key frame animation into the engine! It supports looping and simple animation such as linear scaling, rotation, and translation.

Next I'll be working on adding skinned animation into the engine and have that work with key frame animation. This is going to be fun!

Cheers!,
Ted

Hi Everyone,

Was able to get some animation playing but it looked like a weird spider demon thing so I didn't integrate it with the engine just yet. I thought I was doing something wrong because the model was being displayed properly in our model viewer and even during its bind pose but starts to deform when you animate it. I found out that this was a problem caused by the importer of the engine and was wondering how to fix it. The person in-charge of 3d modeling however gave ma a newer version which was compatible with the importer so its all good now. Just finished some code clean up and getting ready to integrate skinned animation into the engine.. again. heh.

Hi Everyone!

Was able to successfully integrate skinned animation into the engine! We can now combine skinned animation + animation key frames to produce complex animation sequences for our engine! Next up, Fog!

Cheers!

Hi Everyone!

I just talked with some of the team and it looks like Fog wont be included in the tech demo so were deferring it to a later date. Will be moving to post processing effects like bloom and blur!

Hi Everyone!

I've finally integrated post processing into the library! We have bloom and blur as of the moment but were looking into other post processes that we can use.

Cheers!

Hi Everyone,

Added another post process into the library! Its the depth of field post process!

Cheers!

Heya Everyone!

I updated the post processing of the library and added Fog effects to it. It looks awesome and I will be posting some screen shots after I finish some more post processing effects!

Cheers!
