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/

Failed

• 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

• Sparkles! But most of the logic runs on CPU.
• Started shifting particle system logic to GPU to use geometry shaders and stream out so we can have lots of awesome particle effects.

Failed

• There was a very subtle bug for the sparkles particle system that took way too long to find.
• Prioritizing efficient particle systems over shadows.
• Two midterms next week so I took a break this weekend to catch up in my other classes.

Next Week Goals

• Finish shifting particle system logic.
• Rain and smoke particle systems.

Morale

• Sweet as.
