My forthcoming game on the yaroze :)

I've been talking a good talk for ages now, time to put forth something for the world to look at.....
(and no James Russell , I didn't use anything appart from libgs for any of it).

Trick's you'll encounter:

Huge outdoor environments, split into overlapped segments from a huge TMD of the world and displayed only as they are needed to allow load's more detail in the landscape.
Skinned Animations, courtesy of RsdANIM.
Static Point Lighting, pre-calculated, again courtesy of RsdANIM (new feature in the next version, not in the current release of RsdANIM) .
Real time point lighting (done on the fly for explosions and stuff).
On the fly TMD creation (yeah yeah, I know, everyone does that)
Environment mapping.
Turok style explosion effects and scaling lightfields.
OT stripping.
TMD re-rendering (conversion to different display models from a base model).

There'll be more, here's a few real early piccies for now.....(not a lot of textures on the models, and the world model is in it's early stages).

Notice that the fogging is radial not Z depth :)

The pictures above and below show the use of static (embedded) point lighting created using RsdANIM.

The piccie above shows two animated charaters (the main character and the mushroom), a single axis chrome mapped powerup (chrome/env mapping doesn't show up well in a screenshot, just believe me that it's there), and a scaling lightfield effect from the main character.
