New infinite terrain demo
Thursday, March 9, 2006 | Permalink
This is a demo, quite similar to my old infinite terrain demo, but this time implemented using R2VB.
Enjoy!
2006-03-11 update:
I've added VTF support, so now it should on GeForce 6 series and up too, but as expected, it's quite slow. The 6600 ran at 27fps compared to the X850XT at 272fps.

Heh, nV doesn't have R2VB.

Mario, there's no R2VB support in OpenGL at this point. It's possible that it could be added to FBOs at some point, and it has been on the ARB's table, but it's apparently not been prioritized. ATI did work on getting superbuffers through the ARB years ago, which would have allowed R2VB, and there was actually experimental support for it in the driver, but eventually the ARB changed its tune and moved to the FBO model instead.

I will try it on my 6800GT
My 7900GT hasn't gome in yet.

Humus, thanks for VTF support. My 6600 run at 37 FPS.

What about using PBO and VBO? I was under the impression this is how you do "render-to-vertexbuffer" in GL.

There is no direct connection between VBO and PBO exept that their data can be used for both.
And while you could use a PBO as a VBO, there is no way of controlling that the output is in the right order, allso, you are limited by one vertic per pixel and because pixels are run in paralell, it's hard to know wich vertic you should write where.
what is needed is something like R2VB, but in addition a ability to read from a VBO(or any type of buffer) as well.
It will come, just wait and see.

I can't wait to see some more samples what can be done with R2VB.
cough SDK cough
