Description: This session examines the process of upgrading Valve's Source Engine to take advantage of multiple cores. The speaker will analyze the experiments, infrastructure, and tools involved in moving a mature code base onto contemporary PC and console hardware. The talk explores successes and failures along the way to creating an efficient and easy to use multithreaded engine from an established single threaded base.

3D Tricks: Engineering Innovation on the Nintendo DS

Price:$7.95

SKU#: GDC07-3727

Add to Cart

More Info

Description: Maximize the visual impact of your Nintendo DS game! Find out how Vicarious Visions effectively utilized the Nintendo DS hardware on games such as OVER THE HEDGE and TONY HAWK'S DOWNHILL JAM, and learn tricks to overcome the constraints and create fantastic 3D graphics.

Designing Revolutionary Controls

Price:$7.95

SKU#: GDC07-3723

Add to Cart

More Info

Description: The arrival of accelerometer-based controllers in gaming creates a host of new design challenges for developers. This presentation explores the challenges faced during the development of MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE for the Wii launch, and the solutions used to create the final product.

Sort-Independent Alpha Blending

Price:$7.95

SKU#: GDC07-3721

Add to Cart

More Info

Description: Alpha blending has always been a fundamental problem in computer graphics. For correct alpha blending, everything needs to be sorted to render from far to near. Sorting a complex scene can be very time consuming. This paper describes a solution which overcomes this problem. Using modern graphics hardware, we can achieve correct alpha blending without the need to sort.

TR1: C++ on the Move

Price:$7.95

SKU#: GDC07-3720

Add to Cart

More Info

Description: TR1 is Technical Report 1, a specification of new extensions proposed for the C++ Standard Library. If you're a game developer, there's lots of yummy goodness in TR1, including super-fast hashed containers and smart pointers. Once you throw in other tasty morsels like function objects, type traits and random number generation, TR1 is pretty hard to ignore. This talk covers the aspects of TR1 most relevant to game programming, providing examples and performance analysis.

The Shader Design Tool: Radical's Collaborative Approach to Shader Development

Price:$7.95

SKU#: GDC07-3715

Add to Cart

More Info

Description: This course will describe an approach to efficiently develop shaders for modern graphics hardware. The talk will focus on the Shader Design Tool, Radical's graphical shader authoring environment that enables artists and graphics programmers to collaborate on shader development.

Skinning with Dual Quaternions

Price:$7.95

SKU#: GDC07-3712

Add to Cart

More Info

Description: Classical quaternions are a well-established tool in game programming. This presentation reveals the potential of the more general dual quaternions. To demonstrate their power, we show how easily the infamous candy wrapper artifacts in character skinning can be solved with dual quaternions in under one hour of programming.

Sphere Maps With the Near-equal Solid-angle Property

Price:$7.95

SKU#: GDC07-3702

Add to Cart

More Info

Description: This lecture introduces three sphere maps with the near-equal solid-angle property. In general, they could boost storage efficiency by sampling the sphere more evenly and may enable high computational efficiency by safely ignoring solid-angles. Furthermore, the three maps allow users to quickly locate sample points due to simple computation. In this presentation, we provide the mathematical details and the hardwired implementations, and finally discuss their pros and cons.
