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.

Can X850XT support R2VB?

Thank you for the great demo Humus.I wonder whether I can use multiple texture as Vertex Elements?It seems that only one texture stage(D3DDMAPSAMPLER)is available for R2VB.

BTW:I think the demo can run much faster if the post-VS-cache is fully utilized.

Danke f�r VFT hinzuf�gung.

On my 500/1300 MHz clocked NV42 it runs with 69~72 fps at 1280*960 and 4xAA.

A 7900GTX at default clocks would perform somewhere with 168 fps.

Mazda, on the vs2.0 hardware there's only the DMAP sampler, they can only use one R2VB stream. On vs3.0 hardware there's also the four vertex samplers, so they can use five streams. But there's always the possibility to run another pass that takes several streams and interleaves them into a single buffer.

R2VB and VTF comparison is quite inconsistent. Theese are 2 different techniques and I think, that VBO technique is much closer to R2VB then VTF in terms of realization and performance. VTF is slow in current implementation, TRUE, but it's suited for more complex effects then R2VB
