New Demo: Fire and Glow
 

This demo written in OpenGL displays a string lit on fire and generates a glow effect by using a set of GLSL shaders and ARB programs.

On a configuration equipped with Geforce 6200 and up, this application will use floating point targets to achieve not only glow but also a bloom effect.

I couldn't get any decent performance while blending all fire particles in a float texture on ATi cards, therefore I did fall back to using regular fixed point textures to generate only a glow effect.

Finally, since I have a good heart :P, I did create a non-DX9.0 path for those with older cards even though neither glow nor bloom will be there.

PS: I'll be taking a break from programming until my finals are done in two weeks :thumbdwn:

EDIT: The string displayed in the demo could be changed through the modification of the title in Data/XML/WInfo.xml

Don't you regret not hardcoding the text now? ;)

- yet another cool demo! When do you do a humus-like collection that I can refer all my friends to? :)

If I can get a basic website, I'll post about the 10-12 demos that I have so far.
I have the webspace, but lack in HTML skills :thumbdwn:
Hmmm, how about 20 bucks for whoever helps me with that :D

Re: New Demo: Fire and Glow
 

Why not put all these demos together in 1 file? That would be great, because all of your programs are awesome.

Re: New Demo: Fire and Glow
 

Even cooler, I'm planning on locking them all in a castle with multiple rooms, it will look really cool :)
Wait and see :)

Re: New Demo: Fire and Glow
 

Agreed. It's nice to have our own Humus, in fact, ours comes with some personality.

HTML it's so simple ma that you can never imagine!!! I've made an offline html website for my school in only 4 days, from zero.
