Not much time at the moment but i have seen this on the director-list and invested some minutes to do it in unity…

dir: http://staff.funnygarbage.com/colin/meshy.html

With 10k faces.

Controls:
Arrow keys

uni: http://spielwiese.marune.de/_uni/nemu/netz.html

Over 10k triangles with additive blending at 800x600 with 2xAA - fullscreen res is 1024x768.

Controls:
Move mouse to rotate.
Scroll the mousewheel to zoom in/out.
N turns aNimations for all vertices on/off.
M turns Motionblur on/off.

Don’t take this serious… ;O)

… first thing I noticed was that, because I’ve got an Intel based iMac, I’m not able to view the Shockwave version.

What was the purpose of this demo? Just curious.

3

Just a performance/image quality test…

I figured out u can use scroll on the red one, looks cool, I get 35 fpsish on a g4 733mhtz with 128 Radeon9800 Pro

Looks cool, would be good to animate individual textures, u could make a flock of seagulls

I get 13-15 FPS on my Radeon 7500 eMac.
Looks interesting!

Fieee! Shockwave! :?
It crashed IE 7(^^) twice…

-Nice Unity solution. No crashes at all .)

Hey i’m not responsible for the shockwave version! :O) But yes the current plugin has some problems with certain browser… :O/

Another quick tryout is this. Very easy but i like the artifacts/colours it’s leaving…

Good night,

PS: Judge Dreed?

Nice demo :slight_smile: On my 1.25 Ghz Powerbook I get 50 fps normal and about 21 fps with aNimation turned on. I couldn’t scroll in and out since I didn’t have a scroll wheel :stuck_out_tongue:

You do some interestint stuff.

Am I the only one using tabs in Safari? When I leave the Director Shockwave version running in a tab, it keeps running (spending CPU) and it shows up on top of the contents of any other tab.

Incredibly annoying. Of course that doesn’t happen to the Unity one (though I remember when we had that problem before the plugin was released.)

I forgot to mention: really cool stuff. Do you have a link to that Director board?

11

Yeah… The movie is pretty crappy but with a ABC-Warrobot on my side I would definitely feel saver in this brutal world… :lol:

:wink:

Nice job.

@all
Thanks! :O)

@David
You’re not reading these boards already…tststs ;O)

Regarding the quality of shockwave. Well, that’s one of the problems that there does not exist an up to date usb shockwave player for the mac world. Anyway this is only a real problem for the mac guys but it isn’t such a big deal for selling stuff as most of the client work is windows.

It comes down to what Adobe is able to deliver next year with their director update. As i said before quite some developers will wait for this update and make their decision then.

taumel: your test here (macbook pro) 50 fps windowed (120-150 fps fullscreen) with no animations, somewhat less (40-50 fps windowed) with animations. I guess the hit is not the animations, but the increased overdraw, as in animation mode the triangles are much larger. Shockwave - does not work here of course.

14

Yes i know. It’s the overdraw but it looked less interesting when i took a smaller size and as unity got the muscles and it even worked quite well on my mini…why not increase the amplitude?! :O)

The only thing which bugs me is the time needed for the initialisation…

15

Initialization time: maybe your script is just not written in the most optimal way? :slight_smile:

16

Well, as written it was a quick thing but i will have to look into it again as i even used your fixed Array types…

17

Okay i just did some tests and mesh.Optimize() is the bad guy. What is this function doing beside of trying to build stripes?

Cool test.
Had 30fps on a MacBook Pro, zoomed out with both effects on. 15fps when zoomed in.

19

FYI, the shockwave plugin is not Intel friendly but should run in Rosetta. Of course, it is a hassle to run in that mode.

HTH,

BTW, cool stuff Taumel!

Last time we tried to install the Shockwave plugin on an Intel Macs, not only did it not work, but it also ruined the installed Flash plugin. That’s a few months ago though. I’ve had to support friends with that too.

And the tab-problem I described earlier happened on a PowerBook.
