Version updates!

No. getPosition() is what getTranslation() or getTransformedCenter() do, setPosition() would be either translate(...) or clearTranslation();translate(...). No need to add additional methods that do the same thing.

For example, if I want to set position of object3D same as light, I must do this everytime:

Code Select Expand

SimpleVector lv = new SimpleVector(sun.getPosition());
sun.rotate(new SimpleVector(0, 0.05f, 0), plane.getTransformedCenter());
SimpleVector nlv = new SimpleVector(sun.getPosition());
light.translate(nlv.calcSub(lv));

No, you can do this as well:

Code Select Expand


SimpleVector lv = new SimpleVector(sun.getPosition());
sun.rotate(new SimpleVector(0, 0.05f, 0), plane.getTransformedCenter());
light.clearTranslation();
light.translate(sun.getPosition());


If you really want to have a setPosition() for light, just extend Object3D and add it using the same two lines of code.

[Thomas.]

oh, thanks ... I dont know, why I must do everything complicated

Uploaded a new build (http://www.jpct.net/jpct-ae/download/alpha/jpct_ae.jar) that adds the LensFlare class from jPCT, fixes a problem with indexed geometry and VBOs as well as two minor fixes that i forgot about...

[Thomas.]

please... can you add method for add child Light to Object3D? something like this: Object3D.addChild(Light);

[EgonOlsen]

I would rather not add this. If you have to synchronize their positions, just extend Object3D and let your code do the job.

bones definetely need a JIT

The JIT on the crappy Galaxy increases Bones' framerate in this test by ~30%. That's actually more than i expected...

[raft]

right, today i've accidentally upgraded my Nexus One to 2.2.2. bones demo runs at 20fps with 8 animated characters. it was around ~10fps if i remember correctly.

[Kaiidyn]

how can one accidentally upgrade their phone ? lol
nice to see the improvement though

[raft]

I was sleepy and hit the upgrade button thinking it was snooze button

[EgonOlsen]

Another update. This version improves performance for some collision detection methods and should fix render targets on phones where they didn't work before (like mine): http://www.jpct.net/jpct-ae/download/alpha/jpct_ae.jar

I have still problem with render to texture... when I just clear fb, texture is black, but if I whatever try blit, texture is not visible in rendered frame

[EgonOlsen]

Are you sure that you are using it correctly? Can you post some code snippet?

[Thomas.]

is it correct?

Code Select Expand

private Texture tex = new Texture(512, 256);
...
fb.setRenderTarget(tex);
fb.clear();
blitText("hello", 5, 5);
fb.removeRenderTarget();
fb.clear();
...
fb.blit(tex, 0, 0, 0, 0, 512, 256, false);

[Kaiidyn]

I never used this, but to me this would be logical:

In your initialization:

Code Select Expand

private Texture tex = new Texture(512, 256);
fb.setRenderTarget(tex);

Render loop:

Code Select Expand

fb.clear();
blitText("hello", 5, 5);
fb.update();
buffer.displayGLOnly(); // optional? i only use gl.. not sure if this is required for software render.

your function

Code Select Expand


fb.blit(tex, 0, 0, 0, 0, 512, 256, false);
