Hey TL.net!

I just finished a demo for my graphics library that is under development. It lets you create objects, lights and play around with some terrain tools to show the current features. I plan to continue improving the library, adding more features and use it in my next game projects. Some of the current features:

  • Multiple lights
  • Hardware skinning
  • Model importer (Assimp)
  • Normal mapping
  • Shadow mapping
  • Heightmap terrain
  • Basic collision detection

It's written in C++ and uses DirectX 11 for rendering, Gwen for the UI and Assimp to import models. If you are interested in the source code then take a look at my github profile.
The demo application can be downloaded from my homepage.

I made a short video showing what it looks like:
-video-

And here's a screenshot:

Hit me up on twitter if you are interested in this kind of stuff

Thanks for reading!

Damn very nice. Can't wait to be able to program my own stuff in C++ like you :D.

How many months did it take you to finish the demo?

Yeah this is pretty sick.

Blade you should check out the source code if you are looking to examine how some of this shit works.

I love the random chest on the left hand side of the render xD. And the floating gold coin wtf. My eyes just passed over it and then I see dem $$.

Also is that a pilates ball or a mushroom cap?

It's really rewarding to program, I wish you the best of luck! This project took about 3 months to complete, that includes both the graphic library and the demo itself.

I haven't added any physics, and without physics gold coins can fly, atleast when I decide And yes it's a mushroom cap!

Oh that's not to bad at all. Seems like that would take a lot longer then 3 months. But then again I am still a very noob programmer haha ^_^.

Can't wait to get to your level though :D

3 months can be many different things depending on how much time you spend coding
