this is not a convex shape and that is a problem

I did say to myself that I would sticky this if it got to 10 pages.

Thoughts?

[PompiPompi]

I have no objection, whatever you want.

But yea, it seems that if it wouldn't be revived from the second page, it might dissappear. Unless I will remember to post something once in a while. :/

Sticky it. This thread is brilliant.

Done 

I think that some of the stickied resource threads could be merged as well, but that's a topic for another thread.

This is what happens when you try to stitch several screenshots together to create a map... and the software goes ready salted nuts.

I accidentally put the Field of View way too high.

I do not regret anything.

None of these are that beautiful or compare to some of the other ones but I have no other use for them..

Haha, I really like this one!

Haha, I too am easily amused.

I am currently programming a function in XNA that makes an old-school style fade-out (You know, like the older PSX games, where some of the brighter pixels are still a little bit visible before it's all faded out). So I sketched this code out:

Code:

if (fadeout == true)
{
    GraphicsDevice.Textures[0] = null;
    
    for (int i = 0; i < colorBuffer.Length; i++)
    {
        if (colorBuffer[i].R > 0)
            colorBuffer[i].R -= 1;
    
        if (colorBuffer[i].G > 0)
            colorBuffer[i].G -= 1;
    
        if (colorBuffer[i].B > 0)
            colorBuffer[i].B -= 1;
    }

    testImage.SetData(colorBuffer);
}

Intended result:




And it works pretty good, it does what I expect with no performance problems at all.
However, I think the fadeout was too slow (it takes approx. 4 - 5 seconds), so I replaced 1 with 8.

The fail here is that it doesn't check if there's an underflow, so this is the hillarious result I get:


 

It looks smoother at 60 FPS though (YouTube converts it to 30 FPS). I think it looks like one of those cool Amiga demo effects.

The result of having shared state accross many perlin noise generators:



They all ended up cancelling each other out leaving these random pillars of earth sticking out of the ocean when the coordinate of a chunk was 0 mod 255
