- Thank you for downloading my demo (hope you like it).
-
- This demo took me 4 months to complete. And was written on a 486dx2 50.
-
- The story so far...
-
- I started off not knowing anything about 3d graphics. However my
- enthusiasm skyrocketed when I saw my friend's ( Toshiaki ) 3d demo.
- I couldn't understand how he was doing what he was doing, and I was
- determined to find out. Well the first thing I did was buy ( The Black
- Art of 3D programming by Andre Lamothe ). This showed me the basics and
- along with pestering Toshiaki day and night :) and with my own tinkerings,
- I started seeing the light.
- Well one thing led to another and the first thing I knew I was writing
- my first demo. This started out as a hobby ( but after my friend got a game
- programming job in California, I decided to make it a career.
- Read: bluntly, I'm looking for a job. ;)
-
- The Demo:
-
- Well, as I said this started off as a demo so the code is geared in that
- direction. But along the way I decided to try to make the code a bit more
- library oriented. The only problem is that sometimes ( because of C++ ) and
- that I originally didn't design it as a full fledged library it doesn't always
- work as a general 3d graphics library. Oh well. That's for my next project!

- Acknowledgements:
-
- I would like to acknowledge Peter Freese ( The 2nd Guru Book ) for his
- voxel algorithm ( which I used and hopefully improved on with shadowing :)
-
- I would also like to acknowledge Zach Mortensen at mortens1@nersc.gov for
- designing the phong algorithm I used. It was ( in my opinion ) a stroke of
- genius to think about interpolating angles instead of normals to get intesities
- for each pixel.
-
- I would also like to thank my brother Trevannon ( who knows nothing about
- graphics but everthing about math and stuff in general! ) for his help.
-
- Finally I would like to acknowledge Toshiaki Tsuji@z-axis.com as my number
- one mentor. This guys's a genius. He also has a very good demo/library himself,
- and if you're interested should check it out at...
-
- x2ftp.oulu.fi (/pub/msdos/programming/demosrc) or a ftp.cdrom.com (sorry
- don't know the path.)

- If anyone needs any help whatsover, or just want to say hi I can be reached
- at
-
- k_burge@alcor.concordia.ca ( don't know how long I will have it, since
- I recently graduated ).
-
- or at T_BURGE@alcor.concordia.ca ( good until my brother graduates DOH! )
