Fancy Graphics and Lights or nahh

Hey,

I wrote a quick and dirty OpenGL 2.1 port of Bitfighter! This means: shaders. So, I got a few shaders from shader toy and a fancy wavy shader, and it looks interesting :)

Here are a few shader pictures. Keep in mind that ALL shaders are animated, check out the comments for the source if you want to try it out!

Some orange effect thing:

Same, but blue and more neony!

Some weird illusion:

SOME HUGE 3D MOUNTAINS (keep in mind that I deserve no credit for these shaders, and certainly not this one. This is the original.):

And finally, a more "professional" looking wavy effect with gradually darkening borders:

If anybody wants to try them out, the source is here.

I don't.. I don't understand..

The only one that looks remotely useful is the last one..

Re: Fancy Graphics and Lights or nahh

Yes! I was hoping of getting some fancy glowing borders to see if it would look good, but it would require a lot of work, so I just copied a bunch of shaders. We would really need some guy who's really good at shaders to make them look good, though.

Re: Fancy Graphics and Lights or nahh

Ok, I managed to hack in some bloomy effect (ignore the big rectangles up top):

Re: Fancy Graphics and Lights or nahh

Interesting.

Actually I like 2 3 and 6 the bloomy would be good if the edges were thinner.

Keep working at it its looking good so far!

Thanks amgine! I'll try to look into better glow effects, I would love to see how that would look!

Actually, this is totally useful because maybe this will let me finally understand how shaders are supposed to work!!!!

This really looks awesome, Fordcars!!

Nope! Sorry, I have a bit of work right now, but I don't even know what to do on this, except better glow effects :/

Re: Fancy Graphics and Lights or nahh

Glowing could make bitfighter look better and darkening edges could a new game mode.

Let us know if you ever work on this some more.

Re: Fancy Graphics and Lights or nahh

A lil' update...

I rewrote an OpenGL 2 port of Bitfighter with better results this time. Based on 019g, everything seems to be identical to the original game, but is now fully free of the fixed-pipeline. Everything runs with shaders now. I can't really post any code or anything (its all located on my Bitfighter fork on Github, but due to Github limitations, I can only have 1 fork, so the code won't stay there forever), but I'll gladly supply the code to anybody that is interested.

Next goal is GLES2, and then possibly Android. I'll keep you guys posted!

Me too, but frankly I suck at making graphics look good :/ Hopefully somebody can someday come along and write some nice Bitfighter shaders for us :)

Re: Fancy Graphics and Lights or nahh

So you just used open GL to support shaders right after that it basicly allows for most shader programs no?

just curious I might wanna look into this.

Yeessir! You still have to make sure you pass the correct information to the shader programs, but other than that, any shader you can find on the web should work, as long as it uses the correct GLSL version!
