Phoenix Engine 6-28-05 GLSL and Normal Mapping

I redid my whole shader system to use GLSL instead of CG to save on function overhead, and added lighting optimizations and normal mapping.

I like it, you should show those screenshots on garagegames.com or some site like that. By the way what does GLSL and do you mean CG by computer graphics?

GLSL is the OpenGL Shader Language, and CG is Nvidia's "C for Graphics" language.

Garagegames is a website for indie developers. Also there games do not suck. ThinkTanks and Orbz are not bad games.

Isn't GarageGames a showcase for games which use the proprietary Torque engine? David is creating his own engine from scratch which will be vastly superior.

lugaruman: i'm aware that they're indie games, but not really true indie b/c they use toqure engine, not their own!

jeff: yes, yes it is. and yes, yes it will. i suggest you all take a look at www.igf.com some great games there(see 2004 winners for puzzle pirates, i play it religiously woo!)

well, this means that the Phoenix will only be available on tiger. Last time I checked, GLSL wasn't available on Panther.

As you may see, the framerate is low. It's very expensive
