[05:04] <yosh64> hey
[05:04] <PitDroid> hey, yosh64
[07:34] <progman> whats the best way to do dynamic shadows these days? shadow map?
[07:35] <Astaroth_> probably
[07:36] <Astaroth_> for a general solution, shadowmaps is a good bet
[07:37] <progman> do you know if that process is just building a depth mapping texture based
[07:38] <Astaroth_> you render a depthmap from the lights point of view, and then render the
[07:38] <Astaroth_> it only works for spots though, if you need point lights, you need to ren
[07:39] <Astaroth_> then figure out which face of the depthmap-cube to check agains for each
[07:39] <progman> ahhh, that makes sense
[07:39] <Astaroth_> it shouldnt bee too hard finding example code for it though, it even come
[07:40] <progman> thanks!

[12:04] <s1d> word i finally finished my first vertex shader based bone animation system thin
[12:04] <s1d> hehe it's pretty dope now my models move!!!
[12:04] <s1d> <-- excited
[12:11] <aav> cool
[12:12] <aav> interpolating colors in YUV space isnt so hot eh?
[12:14] <Ghaleon> I just stoles the one that comes with DX
[12:14] <Ghaleon> theefing FTW
[12:23] <directhex> u
[13:49] <sort> im theefing ftw too
[14:26] <Anddos> yo
[14:28] <Anddos> i need help :)
[14:28] <Anddos> D3DXBoundingProbe
[14:37] <Ghaleon> D3DXAnalProbe?
[14:43] <chandler> lol
[14:45] <Anddos> thats not in the sdk
[14:47] <Ghaleon> it's only available on special request
[14:48] <Ghaleon> BoxBoundingProbe?
[14:49] <Anddos> v.x = ( ( ( 2.0f * ptCursor.x ) / pd3dsdBackBuffer->Width ) - 1 ) / pma
[14:49] <Ghaleon> looks like it's ok for rays against axis-aligned boxes
[14:49] <Anddos> thats looks so hard to understand
[14:49] <Ghaleon> @_@
[14:49] <capisce> Anddos: maybe if you get out the pen and paper
[14:50] <capisce> I can see at least that it first transforms the coordinate into the range [
[14:51] <capisce> then it divides this by the x-scale factor from the projection matrix
[14:51] <capisce> which I guess is reasonable
[14:51] <Ghaleon> white boards FTW
[14:51] <capisce> not everyone has a white board at home you insensitive clod!
[14:52] <Anddos> that code is from the pick example
[14:52] <capisce> yes Anddos, the point is to create a ray that represents the path from the
[14:55] <Ghaleon> if you're a progger, u need a whiteboard
[14:56] <capisce> what's wrong with pen and paper?
[15:06] <Ghaleon> erasing is what
[15:07] <capisce> just start on a new sheet
[15:07] <chandler> whiteboard uses eraser

[15:12] <Anddos> to use mouse to select a mesh
[15:12] <Ghaleon> if you're not fullscreen u do
[15:12] <Anddos> would it work if i draw a cylinder that represents the ray?
[15:13] <Anddos> so i can see it move
[15:13] <Ghaleon> why not use a line
[15:13] <Anddos> a linepoint?
[15:14] <Ghaleon> d3dpt_linelist
[15:14] <Anddos> or D3DXCreateLine
[15:14] <Ghaleon> too much werk

[18:15] <Astaroth_> I have
[18:15] <Microhoo> the marketing is fucked up
[18:15] <Astaroth_> its crap
[18:15] <Microhoo> i thought blend studio was the 'flash killer'
[18:16] <Microhoo> but its just some way for non programmers to make animated controls
[18:16] <Astaroth_> v2 might be better tho
[18:16] <Microhoo> and doesn't even work well with visual studio. you still have to have them
[18:16] <Microhoo> and they make everything so stupidly complicated to do the simplest of thi
[18:16] <Microhoo> and theres liek 0 documentation
[18:16] <Microhoo> and i WORK at ms
[18:17] <Microhoo> i wanted to join their team just to fucking fill up their bug database

[18:17] <CyrixLOL> but flash is just fucked up actionscript
[18:17] <CyrixLOL> and i think silverlight has great potential
[18:17] <CyrixLOL> if ms doesn't fuck it up
[18:17] <chandler> flash 10 will utilize gpu
