[Top10-devel] Renderer ...

[Lars Segerlund]

 Hi again,

  Still working on the software renderer, I have added some small 
things and are now cleaning things up.

  I got support for 'leaning perspective', a view with a skew in other 
words, this was the one obstacle of my old engine.

  I got support for texture mapping of the ground and sky, the bump 
mapping and height fields are still broken, this is the main issue now.

  I had a problem with aliasing in the old engine, ( didn't use enough 
bits :-) ), which should be gone now, and the fixed point trigonometric 
functions works much better.

  The models doesn't work right , still working on them, will do 
wireframes first.

  I am concentrating to get a good framerate, and clean code at the 
moment, so any suggestions of what would be most interesting to have 
implemented ?

  So if you got a tip of exactly where to start to patch the rendering 
engine into top10 i think it might start to work soon. In other words, 
give me a hint of where to look for the interface, ( files ).

  The developement is done on a 586 SX, 150 MHz and gives about 30 fps 
at 320x240 in an X WIndow, so performance should be adequate.

 Will be nice to hear from you.
