Thanks to it we saw some remaining bugs ║ ║ during the development at the Saturne coding party, and because of the lake║ ║ of electricity we didn't finished the intro, today is the come-back with ║ ║ some enhancements since the Saturne (hopefully !!!). ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╠══════════════════╗ ║ ║ BlaBla 3D Engine ║ ║ ╠══════════════════╝ ║ ║ The 3d engine is about 40000 lines of code, 100% ASM (only 25000 used for ║ ║ the intro). ║ ║ It properly works with a 486 dx2/66, 16 Mb, Vesa video card recommended. ║ ║ ║ ║ Most of the lines are dedicated to the final rendering process (textures). ║ ║ A lot of effects are available: ║ ║ texture mapping, ║ ║ environment mapping, ║ ║ corrected/perspective texture mapping (not in the intro), ║ ║ phong texture mapping, ║ ║ bump texture mapping, ║ ║ fog effects, ║ ║ transparences for texture/phong/bump mapping, ║ ║ mip-mapping (not in the intro), ║ ║ bilinear mapping (and tri-linear mapping), ║ ║ shadows (soon available, beta-version for the moment). ║ ║ for the future: local source of light(s)... ║ ║ ║ ║ Render with Blur, Motion Blur, Fire Effect. ║ ║ ║ ║ As you can see, we tried to implement the best techniques that exist. ║ ║ We do not use a BSP-Tree algorithm yet, maybe one day we'll do... ║ ║ Camera and objets are moved using a polynomiale interpolation. ║ ║ Z-buffer is only used for the Shadow rendering, for a next production. ║ ║ ║ ║ The 3d is displayed in 65000 colors (or 256 black&white&grey in VGA mode). ║ ║ Resolutions available are: 320*200, 320*400, 640*400, 640*480 and 800*600. ║ ║ ║ ║ We should write some articles about the 3D, but we are lazy, and also buzy!║ ║ so if you want such help files, write and encourage us !!! ║ ║ ║ ║ If you want cool links (3D, Demoscene, Various...), then come to our ║ ║ homepage at: http://www.citeweb.net/blabla ║ ║ ║ ║ If you want to say hello to us, then write us at: blabla@citeweb.net, or at║ ║ our personnal Emails ║ ║ ║ ║ 2 demos are going to come soon !!!
