1k raytracing
« on: February 10, 2008 »


Not exactly :-). This is too big and for once I have no idea how to get it smaller (even recoded in d3d and didnt help). Anyway...

Benny asked me if I was working on anything. Actually I've been out of the game for 5 months - no code at all. However, this weekend I dusted off some raytracing, bent the maths and I'm down to this.

NEEDS PS3.0
If your card is old use the 640x480 exe
Otherwise use the 1024x768 exe

Please, I am very interested in Nvidia and Vista results (Jim, Shockie).

Make absolutely sure your drivers are up to date as I am using some newly supported features which wont work with old drivers.

640x480 works fine and smoothly here,  of course 1024x768 is a bit slow, would be really cool if you can display a FPS counter.

Pixel Shaders 3.0...it means you need a good/recent graphics card.

Pink?!??!

Nononononononono!!

I love these Toffee Coffee lovely colours it looks great!
Much nicer colours than Tracie!

This can be a comp winner for sure.

No problems running it here the high res version ran perfectly smooth (ATI X1650 ~ Stonemonkey your drivers probably need updating).

With some extreme hackery I'm only 14 bytes out. The recursive raytracer is now 10 lines of code. However, no real timer which will be another 10-20 bytes :-(. I dont think this one will ever get released as a 1k unless I switch to assembler.

Add some music and maybe some other
scenes and release it as 4kb production.

This piece deserves to be released !!!

Benny has a point. But then again knowing how canny you are Taj, I would bet good money that you'll manage to squish the code a little bit more anyway.

Rocks. Both version are smooth and fast here (8800 Nvidia, XP)
Keep working on it, could be a great 4K too, but since you didn't dev something since 5 months, I think you'll manage to squeeze it in 1K in few days ;)

You were right. I enlisted some help from Pohar at Rebels and last night the intro dropped below 1k!

Hi,

PS3.0 Required

Here is the raytracer squeezed into 1k. Can people test and tell me if it works on their systems, if the colour is ok for you, if the speed is ok.

For those without PS3.0 (upgrade!)... I enclose an image.

Taj
