Vectors6 is a demo that I wrote while trying to learn how to program 3D segmented models (ala Virtua Fighter). In this demo you press the keys A through N on your keyboard and then move your mouse to rotate the ligaments about their pivot points. I realize the model of the character is terrible, but the purpose of this project was to learn the programming involved, not how to make nice art :-) The source code is included.

Vectors is a demo that I wrote while trying to learn how to program 3D look-at cameras. It renders the 3D scene from the camera's point of view by specifying the position of the camera, and the position of what it is "looking at", and the engine will calculate the appropriate orientation matrix to transform all of the geometry of the scene relative to the camera. In this demo you will see a few texture mapped objects sitting at the bottom of an invisible room, and another object will bounce around the room. You have the choice to view everything from the point of view of the bouncing object which is looking at the center of the room, or from the center of the room looking at the bouncing object. The source code is included.

This demo is a combination of two other demos that I have created, which are a real-time fire effect, and an environment mapping effect. This is an example of using animated textures. The texture in this demo is generated in real-time every frame using the fire effect mentioned in the VED Mix download below. The vertex normals of the object are used to calculate the texture coordinates. The result looks like the object has a very reflective black surface and is spinning around in a dark room infront of a burning fire. The source code is included.

In this demo, I use a technique to texture map objects by using the object's vertex normals to generate the texture coordinates at run-time. The result looks like the object is made of mirrors and is neat to watch :-) I borrowed the texture from the demo scene FTP site called Hornet, but am not sure who the author is. The source code is included.

This is the sequel to the VED editor I created to make most of the 3D models on this page. This version of VED has mouse support and an improved GUI interface.

This is my VED editor (Vector EDitor) used to create many of the 3D objects you see here on this site. It comes with the executable and a few dozen objects, most of which were created by me, and a small handful from friends of mine who tried out my editor.

This was my first try at programming bitmap scaling. The picture is from my grade 11 class photo ID back in '91.

VEDMO was supposed to be my demo group's entry into the demo competition at NAID '95. My group's name was Bodies In Motion, and my alias in the group was Tumblin. Due to some last minute changes to one of the models that we threw in at the last minute before I left for the long bus ride to Quebec, the demo would not work because it required source code changes, and I didn't have the source code on hand. But that was okay because the demo sucked compared to the other entries. We didn't put a whole lot of effort into this demo as it was a last minute idea to enter this into a competion anyway. But none the less, it shows off some of the demo effects I had programmed in my spare time.

In this demo you fly (well, more like driving actually) around a some geometry. In the screenshot below I am using the city2.ved object. You just stear with the mouse. The mouse control is a little over-sensitive though, so use subtle movements.

This is one of my earliest demos. It loads up a 3D object created in the DOT editor (which is included in the download), and rotates it around. The balls are actually just 2D sprites that were raytraced with the public domain raytracer called POV-RAY.
