[gLib][3d][z80][ez80] gLib a fast 3D asm/axiom library

Ahh right, yes, I should have seen that its a library

.

I guess that since the author wants his lib to run at decent speed on 6 MHz models, that might explain why his screenshots are all at 6 MHz. As long as he doesn't force 6 MHz mode on 15 MHz calcs then it's fine.

TheMachine02 · September 07, 2015, 08:32:48 AM

Yes indeed. As ben_g said, it is up to the user to set or not 15MHz speed. My library doesn't touch the settings. And yes, I want to be somewhat useable at 6MHz, (and 6MHz speedy screenshot are cooler

). That is why I always use 6MHz as a reference.

EDIT : for connecting dot, well I have to see. I might be able to put normal along point, so I can grab line normal easily, providing a basic culling, and render it with line connected. It is work on the converter and on the axe program side . But it will definitly slower. ( a dot product is far slower than a pxl-on).

I see. Good luck. By the way, any estimate about when a small demo of a non-cube program might come out?

TheMachine02 · September 07, 2015, 09:58:53 AM

Nope

Dream of Omnimaga · September 07, 2015, 05:35:06 PM

It will never come out?

So .... it been pretty much a long time since I've posted here. gLib is out in alpha. Yup you can play with it now.

I though I had putted the alpha download some times ago, but apparently not, I am sorry.
The beta is on the way, I am currently fixing stuff, optimizing all I can, and re-adding shaders, cause they are funny to play with

I still also need to find a way to efficiently process polygon, as well as there cliping. Shouldn't be too hard though. Finishing the tuto is also on my to-do list.
You can download everything in the tuto thread :

Nice, great to see a release

Dream of Omnimaga · February 27, 2016, 05:20:23 PM

Wow I just discovered an alpha was released. Great

I'll check it out later to mess around with it. Did you find more time to work on it since that update, by the way?

You should add screenshots to the first post @TheMachine02 , because some people who don't have time to give gLib a try might still want to see how it looks like in its current state before commenting.

TheMachine02 · February 28, 2016, 01:08:14 PM

I had some time to work on it, altough I didn't progress much, I am currently reworking the project code as well as cliping code. For screenshot, I just need to create fancy stuff

Dream of Omnimaga · March 01, 2016, 06:07:29 AM

Would a small-ish map be fast enough for this version?

TheMachine02 · May 26, 2016, 06:42:32 PM

I *might* have got an ez80 calc and start playing with it.

Dream of Omnimaga · May 26, 2016, 06:52:57 PM

Wow I was kinda sure this was dead, since there hasn't been any progress in months. I'm glad it's still alive. This looks nice, by the way.

How many dots does this have?

TheMachine02 · May 26, 2016, 06:53:47 PM

There is 1171 vertices rotated in real-time. ez80 is quite powerfull.

Dream of Omnimaga · May 26, 2016, 06:59:24 PM

Darn, that's a lot. If you add polygons and polygon sorting then you might want to reduce the amount of vertices, though

. Tr1p1ea posted a 3D

in his solidFRAME CE topic by the way
