You're probably right, I guess I was just curious if it was even something worth looking into. It seems pretty complex after reading some of the Detroit: Become Human GDC slides (although that's the AAA way of doing it -- of course it's going to seem complex. I was looking more for the "simples...

I'd be interested in looking into implementing some kind of clustered forward or forward+ rendering for my Arena engine, since there's a few places in Arena where there's more than 5 or 6 lights touching the same space and it'd probably be slow to handle that the naive way. It might help a lot with ...

I think I agree with you at least a little bit on that. Of course the system was an upgrade, but maybe I didn't see as much of the Radiant Story aspects because I usually didn't remove shopkeepers and other relevant people because I thought they were important to the game, so I rarely saw replacemen...

This post isn't necessarily what I want to have in Starfield. It's just educated guesses based on Bethesda's previous work, engineering expectations, and Bruce Nesmith's 2012 presentation that I think are reasonably believable for me to spend the time bringing it up here. They said the game is playa...

Currently trying to finish up one last thing for 0.8.0, hopefully releasing either this weekend or next weekend

Adding onto what psi29a said a few pages ago about Daggerfall Unity, if anyone would like to see Interkarma's perspective on it not being 100% FOSS, read his comment on this issue: https://github.com/Mindwerks/XLEngine/issues/27#issuecomment-381367415 Particularly this quote: As an aside, it's no ac...

My engine for Arena used to do ray tracing on the GPU but I removed that renderer in favor of a simpler CPU-based, 2.5D one that's easier to prototype and maintain. I don't have to deal with shader compiling, platform incompatibilities, version mismatches, etc., etc.. The ray tracer had pretty nice ...

Simple is good, yes. But I know that the visible voxel determination could be faster because the ray caster touches a lot of the same voxels with each ray (hence the wasted work), and I wouldn't have suggested the two ideas above if I didn't think I could do it :P. You don't get this far with an ope...

I've been brainstorming a couple ways of how to speed up visible voxel determination and frustum culling in my software renderer. Currently it's using 2.5D ray casting which is really naive and does a lot of wasteful calculations, but it works (it was just meant for prototyping anyway, and it's a ho...

Ha ha! :D You wouldn't have the same project for Daggerfall by chance? What clocknova and psi29a said. I think an open-source project for Daggerfall would be too ambitious for me, so that's one reason why I chose Arena instead. Arena is just more simple overall, and it's easier to keep the project ...
