PVS Tutorial + demo   This tutorial describes the method I have developed to calculate the Potentially Visible Set (PVS) of leaves of a BSP tree in real-time. Unlike other methods that pre-calculate the PVS as part of the world data, this method uses the view frustum and the current leaf node's portals to find which leaves are potentially in view.

Lightmapping Tutorial   Lightmapping is still the preferred method of lighting in most games, namely because it is fast regardless of how many lights are in the scene, if you've ever shot at a lightbulb that didn't break or it broke but the light around it remained then you have seen lightmaps in action. They are not suitable for dynamic lighting, though slight variations to the light mapping theme can be applied to produce fake dynamic lights such as either on/off or flickering lights (normally by using multiple lightmaps.) ...

Dive   An internet-based multi-user VR system Autor Swedish Institute of Computer Science    Última actualización 1999-07-01  Inglés The Distributed Interactive Virtual Environment (DIVE) is an internet-based multi-user VR system where participants navigate in 3D space and see, meet and interact with other users and applications. The DIVE software is a research prototype covered by licenses. Binaries for non-commercial use, however, are freely available for a number of platforms. The first DIVE version appeared in 1991. DIVE supports the development of virtual environments, user interfaces and applications based on shared 3D synthetic environments. DIVE is especially tuned to multi-user applications, where several networked participants interact over a network. Dynamic behaviour of objects are described by interpretative Tcl scripts evaluated on any node where the object is replicated. Script are triggered by events in the system, such as user interaction signals, timers, collisions, etc. DIVE reads and exports VRML and several other 3D formats. It is integrated with the World-Wide-Web and is HTTP/FTP/HTML/MIME compliant. DIVE applications and activities include virtual battlefields, spatial models of interaction, virtual agents, real-world robot control and multi-modal interaction. Through its various versions, DIVE is currently available on the following platforms: SGI Irix 5.3 and above, HP HPUX 9.0X and 10.X, SUN Solaris 2.4 and above and SunOS 4, Linux 2.X, Windows NT.
