Every autumn, i start a new project.My [Sept 2007/June 2008] project was an OpenGL 3D engine with XBlite.I can't implement more features because i reached the limits of my hardware (Athlon XP2400+ & ATI Radeon 9800), so i stopped the project.I learned a lot with this project and i feel sad to keep it somewhere on my HD so if someone is interested, i could clean up a bit the code and share the source code.It is 95% XBLite and some critical functions (MMX blocks, stencil shadows) has been written for NASM.

Here are the devellopement screenshots : http://picasaweb.google.fr/fano.aka.mainbit.aka.hexagon/DevellopementMyEMyE2

And a brief list of main features :

• GLSL programs (ppl,bump) with omni/spot lights
  
• Automatic texture resizing
  
• Q3BSP based maps (faces,brushes,patches/curves)
  
• Model manager that allows to add models format easily (actually only MD3 is implemented)
  
• Simple shadow mapping (2D & Cube) for statics
  
• Stencil shadows for dynamics (connectivity fast algorithm)
  
• Dynamic generation for shadows with caching system (only update shadowmaps/stencil geometry when needed)
  
• BSP portal system partially implemented
  

Experimental features :

• Bloom
  
• Soft shadows
  
• Glass/Water shaders
  

It is fully fonctionnal but some things need to be improved like shadows mapping (need to have a GFX card with float textures to do things like VSM, portal system need to be linked to objects) and some missing (MD3 animation, patches/curves stencil shadows).
For a more solid usage, a file system and a memory manager could be added , the entrypoints are already defined.

fano,

Wow, incredible work. So yes, it would be fantastic if you would share your sources and any demonstration programs.

ciao,

It looks very interesting.  If you wish, I can convert your NASM code to GoAsm.

Greg

Thanks a lot , this is great

I am going to build a demo with map and models.I'll try to make something light as possible to upload on Google Groups.I'll post here when it will be finished.

Greg, i am used to use NASM for its simplicity but that would be nice if you could convert asm code to GoAsm so users may be able to compile the whole code with tools packed with XBlite.I attached source asm.

The NASM code is very interesting.  I will post the conversion here within a few days.

What is your license?  Is it a form of "open source" or public domain?  Can I use portions of it in my own work or xblite?

Yours,
Greg

What is your license?  Is it a form of "open source" or public domain?  Can I use portions of it in my own work or xblite?

I oftenly write code for myself and rarely release so i am pretty ignorant about licenses.
After taking a look to various licenses, i decided to release the sources under GNU GPL/LGPL license.That would be a pleasure to know someone found usage for my code

Your engine seems to be very...umm...awesome!  I would very much like to get the source an play with it Good job!

Hi rhett, i am still working to integrate asm code directly in XBlite code and suppress DLL that was need before.The other problem is to reduce the size of the package because i used severals set of textures to test it and i must check to keep only needed materials.

If you have a better card like me (it is not very difficult, an old x800 does the trick), there is a lot of fun things to add to it (VSM shadows,FBO,deferred shading,etc...)

I've been using an engine called Horde3D for some time now (which supports most of your proposed features already), but I'd be totally willing to drop it for one written in Xblite.  I have a radeon hd 4870, and a radeon hd 3870x2 so adding modern features won't be a problem.  Please post it, because I am very interested

To wait a bit before it is finished, there are 2 GPL projects that learned a me a lot when reading sources :

Octagon Engine : A bit outdated engine written in C++, pure OO style, very interesting (especially TBN computing and bezier curves method) : http://www.paulsprojects.net/opengl/octagon/octagon.html

Xreal Engine : Q3 engine heavy modification (C), I learned a lot when looking at its GLSL shaders : http://xreal.sourceforge.net/xrealwiki

Done ! Don't have a host so uploaded it on rapidshare.It has a little demo map, controls are arrow keys, mouse to look around and space for the flash light.

Good job!
