Week 1
Goals
- Get acquainted with D3D11.
Accomplished
- Shaders for directional light.
- Bump mapping with Erik.
Week 2
Goals
- Refactor shader code.
- Find cool graphical effects to implement.
- Start particle systems.
Accomplished
- Refactored shader code and added a shaders manager.
- Glow effect with Erik.
- Rendered textures required for shadows and for any other effects we may want.
- Debug various graphics stuff with Erik.
- Found an artist for our team. \o/
Reasons For Failing
- Pushed off particle systems since we were excited about shadows, but we are now excited about particle systems again.
- Debugging window for rendered texture isn't showing up.
Next Week Goals
- Directional light shadows.
- At least one working particle system. Ideally more.
Morale
- Good progress!
Week 3
Goals
- Directional light shadows.
- At least one working particle system.
Accomplished
- Atmospheric fog with Erik.
- Sparkles! But most of the logic runs on CPU.
- Shifting particle system logic to GPU by using geometry shaders and stream out, but still debugging.
Reasons For Failing
- Decided to prioritize efficient particle systems over shadows because we want to have lots of awesome particle systems.
- There was a very subtle bug for the sparkles particle system that took way too long to find.
- Midterms next week so I took a break to catch up in my other classes.
Next Week Goals
- Finish debugging shaders for efficient particle systems.
- Rain and smoke particle systems.
Morale
- Hate and love shaders. Emotionally confused.
Week 4
Goals
- Rain and some other particle system.
Accomplished
- Rain! Got it to behave reasonably while speeding through hilly terrain.
- Generic particle system to make future particle systems more easily.
- Fire!
Reasons For Failing
- Rain doesn't last long when fire also renders.
- A couple midterms got in the way.
- Shader bugs kicked me around for a while with rain, but I've come up with my own way to debug so future shader bugs shouldn't be as torturous.
Next Week Goals
- Fix bug with simultaneous rendering of multiple particle systems.
- More particle systems.
Morale
- Glad midterms are out of the way to spend more time on project. Sanity regained after rain worked.
