• Result after:
• extrude,
• scaling,
• translate or
Game Development
• Movement of individual vertices
After choosing extrude press ESCAPE:
New faces are created but moved to zero distance from the base face After extrude scale the new face down a little
Game Development
• We should modify the geometry a little:
• The red edge should be merged with the yellow one.
• Moving the edge is not enough (NO ZERO AREA POLYGONS!!)
• Knife tool. Click on edges to cut polygons. If ready, press ENTER.
Switch to vertex mode and select two vertices
Merge tool: Merges the vertices together and removes zero sized polygons Do the same for the other vertices, and we can continue extruding...

7. 7 Game engine modules
7.1. What is a game engine?
• An extremely complex software package
• A class library
• Additional tools
• level editors
• modeling software plugins
7.2. Tasks of a game engine I
• Multi-threading
Game Development
• Rendering
• resource (tesh, texture, shader) management
• material/shader system
• GPU state change management
• geometry instancing
• visibility culling
7.3. Tasks of a game engine II
• Animation
• Physics simulation
• Character animation
• Particle systems
• Camera animation
• Audio
• GUI
7.4. Tasks of a game engine III
• Artificial intelligence
• state management
• pathing
• Scripting
• Procedural content generation
• global illumination
• vegetation generation
• Networking
Game Development
7.6. Multi-threading library?
• There are some, e.g.
• Intel Thread Building Blocks
• Microsoft Parallel Patterns Library
• but the challenge is to design engine modularization, parallelism, communication, task granularity
• for garage projects giving their own thread to physics and audio suffices
7.7. Rendering - resource management
• Mesh models, textures, shaders must be loaded from files
• Streamed/removed from CPU/GPU memory
• Game objects can reference these resources
• Intermediate buffers, render targets
7.8. Rendering - material/shader system
• New materials should be editable, changeable without touching the code: a kind of scripting is needed
• e.g. Ogre's material scripts
• e.g. the Effects system of D3D
• Assignment of materials to game objects
• Application of material for rendering
7.9. Rendering - GPU state change management
• GPUs are fast - CPU-GPU communication is the bottleneck
• to minimize this, minimize state changes
• render objects with the same materials, textures contiguously
• render queues
• geometry instancing
7.10. Rendering - Visibility culling
• Do not render hidden geometry
• View frustum culling
• PVS - possibly visible set
• a conservative guess on what is visible
Game Development
• if a proxy object inside A fully occludes a proxy object around B, then B is surely not visible
• hierarchies
• GPU support - visibility queries
• when rasterizing proxy of B, did we draw anything?
7.11. Rendering Engine
• Ogre3D
• Crystal Space
• Genesis3D
• Irrlicht
• Truevision3D
7.12. Animation - Physics simulation
• The virtual world should not only look real - it should act real!
• Rigid body mechanics
• Collision detection and response
• Contact forces and joints
• Cloth simulation
• Fluid simulation
7.13. Physics Engine
• Bullet
• open source
• ODE - Open Dynamics Engine
• NVidia PhysX
•
Game Development
• input: bone orientations at keyframes
• skinning

8.5. Primitive assembler
• non-indexed / indexed
• Adjacent vertices define a triangle
Game Development
8.6. Backface culling
• Based on vertex order (clockwise, counter clockwise)
• If the model has a consistent vertex ordering (preferable)
• The model should be a closed shell
8.7. Clipping
• Offscreen triangle parts are cut
• normalized screen coordinates[-1, -1, 0] [1, 1, 1] [Cartesian]
• Wrap-around problem
• Clipping in homogeneous coordinates
8.8. Rasterization
• Homogeneous division
• Viewport transformation: pixel coordinates

• Execute pixel shader for each covered pixel
8.9. Pixel shader
• Input data
• vertex shader output data, linearly interpolated
