  1. PARAMETRIC GAME ENGINE utilizing DirectX7 Michael Putz

  2. Procedural World • = parametric description of the game-world • Example: Terrain, Trees, Textures • Benefits:less bandwith (!!) Less manpower required (modeling) infinite detail ( fractal trees )

  3. components of the engine • INPUT (joystick, keyboard, mouse..) • STATEMANAGER (intro,replay,ingame..) • PHYSICS (interaction input<->movement • TERRAIN (generation & render ) • RIDER ANIMATION (mesh-animation) • PARTIKEL F/X ( snowfall, powderspray etc..)

  4. Example of the physics-engine • core-component ForceVector(x,y,z) • example: joystick moves to the right • Joystick movement increases x-component of the ForceVektor • ForceVector indirectly generates terrain-rotation • ForceVector automatically returns to zero-state • benefit: smooth movement with direct feedback

  5. Outlook • LOD Terrain ( quadtree? ) • Vertexbuffers for Hardware T&L • skeletal animationsystem • More variation through:Railslides ( 100% procedural ) Cliffs, Parametric Trees etc in combination with new perlin parameters • Avalanches -> STOP OR GO implementation
