A.D.A. Amiga Demoscene Archive

Kas1e took over the Coders Corner in JP. But we're of course always thankful for contributions from other coders!! In case you have troubles with the english language - we can help you, no worries about that!

I guess issue 15 will come out around January 2006.

Can anyone write how to do birdseye view voxel please? :)

rload, you mean somehow like on extralife/abyss towards the end of the second part?

Ghady, you can have my "water wipe tutorial" I posted at this very same forum some weeks ago.

birdseye view voxel:

1. code regular voxel (which we all know how to do by now *sigh*)
2. place monitor on floor, rotate it 90 degress about its x-axis (so its screen is facing upwards)
3. stand above your monitor and watch in delight.

hello!

I am back in this forum after some months!

I think that many "tutorials" in this forum, can be easily tranformed in nice articles for JP. They are well written and have been corrected/improved by the discussion in the thread!

Please, tutorial authors, convert them into JP articles! :-)

regards

Converting totorials from here for JP? Yeah, why not? Z5, could you please just send them to me via email? That would be the most clever way I think.

Rather not. Most of the stuff on here aren't really tutorials, but discussions / questions with answers and corrections spread over many posts. I certainly wouldn't like to see any of my "tutorials/discussions" in any coderscorner because they are lame questions from a newbie who never got further than a scrolltext.

If you want to use tutorials from here, you need the authorisation and approval from the person who wrote it (like Winden gave you for the waterwipe effect).

@Ghandy

of course my proposal was that single authors should decide for themselves and "convert" by themselves their post in a nice tutorial, like z5 said.
That's the most correct way

I could make a tutorial for that voxel effect, even more seeing that I've got many variations on the theme (plane-from-above, plane-from-side, cylinder, sphere, etc...)

BUT kas1e, please take a hard look at my earlier tutorial for waper wipe and feedback any queries about expanding some parts if you feel there is any need (ie: i guess making a goodloking wipe-table-drawing is not really easy).

So, any sort of tutorials are welcome. Just write me a mail at sobi@diskmag.de - thanks a lot! Winden, please don't forget me and your tutorial... ;-)

sobi, when are you going to release jp#15? i won't be free for more stuff until 19 december due to bgparty preparations+releases ( i got to release else i can't enter my own party ;)

Not before the end of January or early February. So you and everybody else has enough time to gather & prepare your support. I've been working like a slave recently.

Huys, the birds eye view voxel trick was explained in trashcan 5 coding corder by chip/powerline^endzeit. in fact he explained the complete polar-drawing engine, which is then coupled to a voxel-drawing routine. A very nice demo featuring all sort of voxel and polar tricks is "Enforcing the law" from The Party 7 :)

In case you'd like to see your tutorial in JP#15 - send it to me now or let it be. simple as that.. ;-)

winden, exactly :) I know it can be done in a crude way, but I guess there is an elegant solution too.

and thats me being anonymous there. and I was talking about the birdseye view voxel....... oh .. and dang.. there is a reply on where to find how to do it too.. hurray . :)

btw, rload, said to us, will bp06 have some ephidrena prods ?:)

nope. too much to do at work.

oh shit... that hit me like a ten ton brick falling on my head...

this sucks... :(

well , if tbl will not release a demo too, we can said .. what we can said ?:)

I can't find thrashcan 5 on the net anywhere. any pointers?

load, it's on Aminet:
part 1
part 2

kas1e: TBL will release a demo at BP, at least Kalms is working on something! :)

z5 : thanks

StingRay : wery interesting to see :)
rload: maybe can drop some hours from work for some hardcore amiga stuff ?:) (money suck :) ).

nah... the wussies from Eph are just afraid to be beaten yet again by TBL... so they avoid competing with them... :)

(at this stage anything is good to motivate load...)

z5, yes, i think rload just afraid somethink ;) but, here is other important think (very important)

rload, here is one more very, very IMPORTANT moment. i want to write a some articles about bp06 amiga demos in my upcoming "super-mega warp3d emag", and, you MUST a create a some stuff to support me ! yeah ! move your lazy ass :))

demos in my upcoming "super-mega warp3d emag"

As we, classic users with our outdated hardware, will probably not be able to run and read the mag anywa, that is not a convincing argument... :) (only kidding ofcourse)

z5 , but what about winae ?:)
