General chat / Re: A controversial topic.

« on: February 12, 2011 »

hey guys, been a long time

whatever you decide to do (change/leave as is/modify/etc.), i'm here if i can help somewhere

just a thought that might attract people, as we all know demos and coding have 3 major parts.

• the code
• the music
• the graphics

in this forum we have sections for code and music but not graphics and many people out there are into graphics and have no idea what a demo is and it's history.

if some graphicians come here and read all about it, see the friendly atmosphere  , who knows maybe they'll dive into coding as well.

i know we have the sections together music-gfx, what i meant is separate.

just my 2 cents

is there a game you've saved up for and then been let down?

C&C 4 , epic crap

and i was expecting a lot from starcraft but after betatesting it it feels like playing the original but with better gfx , so starcraft is a no go for me and way too expensive for a game

personally? for me this forum is the demoscene and not pouet, in this forum you get help and certainly not demotivated by others due to "stupid  competition".

i'm glad i'm a member of this forum

Heya... I messed around with this a bit a while back. It's pretty fun. I think I need to change the colors in yours for my glasses to work because I have those old style red/blue ones. Anyway, here's the thing I made if you wanna have a look. :p

I tried a few things, but where I got the best results was this: Render each eye to a separate image, fudge them over a bit and then blend. So, I moved the left render right by n pixels, and moved the right render left by n pixels.That fudging thing wasn't based on anything except messing around with images in Photoshop. It does seem to look a bit better to me, but that may just be me.

that is a very nice effect !! and it would also look awesome as a screen saver

« on: July 24, 2010 »

a nice looking intro with an oldshcoolish feeling (like the other one you made) 

the cube (when it turns) it looks like a polygon or it's just me

ohh and the full screen mode ...  

edit: allmost forgot .... and ofcourse the classic tune is nice to hear it again

« on: June 09, 2010 »

they re-released "diabolik" also, maybe they're out of ideas and they're recycling oldies

tested alien breed, i liked it's gfx , it's movement and the overall gameplay.

dunno maybe i'll buy it.

looks nice

most steam games are "online" games so i hope this one plays online with others.

i already have steam installed so i might give it a try.

General chat / Re: How do you setup WinAUE to watch AGA demos

« on: June 02, 2010 »

from what i've read here http://kg.whdownload.com/kgwhd/index.php

if you get the WHDLoad packs of the demos then you will be able to run all those demos with any cpu/ram configuration.

they did it this way so the user doesn't have to change his config every time he wants to view a certain demo.

just extract them using dir opus or any other proggie you like to your demos HD and run them.

General chat / Re: How do you setup WinAUE to watch AGA demos

« on: June 02, 2010 »

i know what you mean.

a few years back when i used to emulate my real A1200 i used only 8mb fast and the 68040 i had with 3.1 workbench and new icons only.

i just wanted to give this setup a try to see how it goes, but i can always drop the memory and cpu and everything to make it the real deal from inside the emulator that's not a problem

the nice thing is that i can play amiga games now with the controller

« on: June 02, 2010 »

installed amikit with os 3,9 ... it's a no go  every setup i tried ended up giving the guru screen after boot lol

so i ended up with amikit and os version 3,5 wich works like a charm.

i made no changes to winuae (amikit fixed everything), also downloaded every whdload demo i could find and tested many of those, also works fine.

and what i have discovered just now is that winuae recognises my 360 win controller so i was really happy to play again dogs of war   

time to get some more whdload games 

and for those that want the games straight from their publisher, Gremlin & Magnetic Fields are giving their games for the amiga for free

edit: added a screen of my current workbench screen

if i'm not mistaken, when you select A1200 winuae asks for a specific rom version -> Amiga Kickstart 3.1 (40.068) (A1200) (Commodore) (1993)

that's the only amiga i was emulating.

General chat / Re: How do you setup WinAUE to watch AGA demos

« on: May 31, 2010 »

from what i can remember (long time since i used winUAE)

you need the original amiga roms, and you specify an amount of space of your HD so that winUAE will make that space "amiga usable".

from what i can remember you can allways "delete" that space so you can have it for win.

also i think you can access that space from win like a folder and add adf files or other amiga stuff.

hold on i'm gonna install it remember everything and let you know for sure

.:EDIT:.  you go to the menu on the left and click "hard drives".

then on the right you select a hard drive from your pc "add hard drive".

after you selected a hard drive you see it on the list, you check it and you press "properties" and "create hard disk image file" and when i do that id gives an error  dunno but that's what i was doing in the older version i had.

now i installed 2.1.0 (210.04.28)

Ps. hmmm weird now that i look in my desktop it did create the .hdf allthough it gave the error, and now that i tried to load it it gave another error and it crashed lol? 

does winUAE works for win 7?

.:EDIT:. yup this helps for sure 

http://www.lemonamiga.com/?mainurl=http%3A//www.lemonamiga.com/help/tutorial_1/1.php

or maybe it's better to use amikit? going to check it out

http://www.thecryptmag.com/amikit/

.:EDIT:. ok amikit install with winuae but it requires to have the original os (3.5-3.9 and some others) in cd so it can install it.

Freebasic / Re: Stereoscopic geometry test

« on: May 31, 2010 »

it's seems confusing but it's not

those two links here explaint the methods a lot better than me 

and have very nice examples of images and their distance for the left and right eye.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_image

Freebasic / Re: Stereoscopic geometry test

« on: May 30, 2010 »

this is a very interesting effect, i've never seen an anaglyph demo/intro before.

what you should do is to make the yellow line into red

the correct color values for anaglyph imaging are those (bright turquoise) RGB is R-000 G-255 B-255.

and the direct opposite of the bright turquise is R-255 G-000 B-000.

the spacing between the two images/shapes should be approximately the spacing between the human eyes, but you can play around with spacing for the optimal effect.

hope i helped

something like this?

.:EDIT:. added the other one i was working on "coin-op cabinet gravity".

.:EDIT2:. after reading this post -> http://www.dbfinteractive.com/forum/index.php/topic,4740.msg63991.html#msg63991

i thought why not? i've never seen an anaglyph demo/intro before  so here it is the coin-op cabinet gravity in anaglyph.

best viewed with those paper red/cyan glasses

enjoy

.:EDIT3:. (lol) attached the transparent version

GFX & sound / Re: Graphics Members

« on: May 27, 2010 »

i know

someone that can make gfx can tell that.

i know it doesn't have to be 3D but what i came up with leaves me with no choice.

because you just can't shoot some pool without "gravity"

but yeah i get the general idea of what you are looking for.

.:EDIT:. there you go , i hope you like it.

ok i know what you mean and i have an idea but it requires 3D so don't expect to see it tomorrow.

btw that billboard is 3D too.
