Problem with RayMarching using DistanceFunctions when applying Twist-Distortion.
category: general [glöplog]
oh, btw, the broken function still terminates very swiftly
oh, btw, the source is here for your leissure.
It's my first C++ program from scratch, but it's not very big, so it shouldn't be too troublesome to go through - I think the problem has been boiled down to the single function which I just posted, though.

its just the pipeline to the gfx-card...
as what you want to do is gfx-stuff do it on gpu instead of cpu !
( sounds dumb, but i am...maybe !! )
your bottleneck most-likely is some weak FSB or alike ;)
get into shaders ! it´ll be fun, i promise !!
once you see what shaders offer, you´ll just laugh about what some ppl including me did so far !

Störtebeker, I know I'm shooting myself a little in the foot by doing it on CPU, but I'd still like to have my basics working before I migrate to a totally new territory.
(assuming that was for me)
I found my bug: I was taking a pointer to the camera position vector in my render function, and I was manipulating that vector inside of the function instead of making a local copy. Duh. Fixed.
most common bug, i had to learn aswell these weeks !
just suxx if you stumble upon sth like this !
->i did everything right, but why does Raybrush Marchwood bug ?

Störte: ...Raybrush Marchwood?
I'm popping to bed satisfied now:

if I see one more raytraced / raymarched sphere today I will shoot myself in the head with an L.A.W. :/
cool.
Sorry, couldn't resist. Interesting topic btw
he's the man :)
he isn't, I don't see any caustics over him when the spheres cast shadows...
ffs spheres! grr...
A lego-marched sphere for you:
Beautiful!
here's are some spheres in disguise.
current state of my ray-marcher: 1280x720 @ 30fps with 3 lights, dynamic surfaces, soft-shadows and ambient-occlusion :)

cool
Raytrace these spheres right here.
Now go and make 4k from this. :)
what KK said (this is not gamedev, but the demoscene!)
Nice image thou

CUDA in 4k? iq you've tried that, is it small enough?
CUDA is nonstandard. so I doubt it qualifies as a 4k root.
I don't think there will be any problem porting this to pixel shader. Also, probably within 1 year or even sooner most compomachines will be able to run DX11 and compute shaders (will 2010 or 2011 be a year of compute shader 4k intros?).
compute shaders in a year? so what is it that GPU's do today then?
