"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes … known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.… No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."

New demo
Tuesday, October 26, 2004 | Permalink

As the winter approaches, or have already arrived at some places, it's time to cosy up with a demo of candle flames dancing in the dark. Well, not only the flames that are dancing in this demo, the actual candles are jumping around as well causing the familiar light trails you can see in real life as well in a dark room with candles when the the bright candle light sticks on the retina.

Enjoy!

Doesn't seem to work properly on my Geforec 6.(flashes and the trails)
By grabbing textures/framebuffers it all seems ok up until the last render of the quad over the scene. Perhaps the glBlendFunc(GL_CONSTANT_COLOR,GL_ONE); blending mode is messing up somehow?

Hmm ... I had a guy reporting that it worked just fine on the 6800. Out of the box for once. He was using 61.77.

Same problem with the 70.xx drivers. Though strangely if I move the window around the screen the trail appear momentarily. How odd

Doesn't work quite right on the R9800. Full screen is jerky but the FPS counter show 30-43. Works fine in windowed mode thought with FPS 300+.

Using newest driver 4.10 if I'm not wrong.

Sorry, yet another "doesn't work right on a GeForce 6800GT." Your other demos seem to work fine on this card though.
