Looks very promising. What is the "augmented reality" aspect of the game that you mentioned?

Keep the weekly updates coming...i would like to see how this progresses.

Hi Egon, sorry for not responding sooner. Basically I use Vuforia to recognize pictures of certain museum pieces.
The augmented reality is used to "collect" images of the artifacts. Once you collect a certain number of resources and images you are able to view them in 3D.

I used normal mapping for certain 3D models. This screenshot shows an example of one of the artifacts in the museum that you can unblock by recognizing its image.

Hi guys, I know it has been a long time since I updated this but I've been quite busy...here are some screenshots of the game. It's almost done!

Hi guys, this is my weekly update:

I have implemented the UI using some custom classes. Most of the UI artwork was take from http://opengameart.org/content/rpg-gui-construction-kit-v10 with some modifications to better fit the game's aesthetics.

Some major AI and re-structuring of the code was done in order to make it more re-usable. I'm trying to make it into a framework for future games.
Now that most of the technical implementation has been done, I'm starting to get into the gameplay and will start posting more about it as I develop it.

This is a screenshot of the current state of the game:

Hi everyone, I want to start this thread to show the progress of my graduation project called "ChimuAR". It is an Android game under development for the Museum of America in Madrid, Spain. It uses JPCT-AE as its 3D graphics engine and Vuforia SDK for the augmented reality component.
As of now I have modeled the 3D graphics in Blender and have implemented pathfinding and flocking.

The following video demonstrates the pathfinding and the flocking:

The following are screenshots of the game:

Ok guys, I was able to figure it out after looking at the HelloShader example that comes with JPCT-AE. As it turns out, it's quite easy to work with Shaders inside the engine...coming up with interesting shaders that do what they are intended to do is another story.

Anyway, here is the screenshot of the model with normal mapping applied to it.

Hi, I'm currently in the process of applying a normal map to an Object3D and followed the tutorial at: http://www.jpct.net/wiki/index.php/Shaders, and also the post regarding using shaders at: http://www.jpct.net/forum2/index.php/topic,2153.msg15838/topicseen.html#msg15838. However, I have a few questions.

I don't know how to send the color texture and normal texture to the fragment shader for processing. I have tried to implement the solution given in the aforementioned links but it doesn't seem to help. I know I'm missing a few parts but the documentation for JPCT-AE regarding shaders is quite limited.

I would like to thank anyone who can help me and maybe after this problem is solved I can help to write a more detailed tutorial on using Shaders with JPCT-AE as I feel this is a very important topic. Anyway, this so far is the only real problem I have had with JPCT-AE and think it's a really good 3D engine for Android.

Thanks!

Below you will find the code and the screenshots explaining my particular situation.

I load the 3D object with the following code:


InputStream totemOBJFile = mActivity.getResources().getAssets().open("totemLowPolyFixed.obj");

// Totem's texture files
InputStream totemTextureFile = mActivity.getResources().getAssets().open("TOTEM_Textura.jpg");
InputStream totemNormalFile = mActivity.getResources().getAssets().open("totem_normal.jpg");

textureManager.addTexture("totem_material", new Texture(totemTextureFile));
textureManager.addTexture("totem_normal.jpg", new Texture(totemNormalFile));

totem = Object3D.mergeAll(Loader.loadOBJ(totemOBJFile, null, scale));

TextureInfo ti=new TextureInfo(TextureManager.getInstance().getTextureID("totem_material"));
ti.add(TextureManager.getInstance().getTextureID("totem_normal.jpg"), TextureInfo.MODE_MODULATE);
   
totem.setTexture(ti);
   
totem.build();
totem.compile();
totem.setSpecularLighting(true);
totem.strip();

world.addObject(totem);

SimpleVector sv = new SimpleVector();
sv.set(totem.getTransformedCenter());
sv.y = -150;
sv.z = 0;
sun.setPosition(sv);

cam = world.getCamera();
cam.setPosition(0f, -150f, 0f);
cam.lookAt(totem.getTransformedCenter());

String vertex = null;
String fragment = null;
// Load the vertex and fragment shaders
try {
vertex = Loader.loadTextFile(mActivity.getResources().getAssets().open("glsl/normalmapping/vertexshader.glsl"));
fragment = Loader.loadTextFile(mActivity.getResources().getAssets().open("glsl/normalmapping/fragmentshader.glsl"));
GLSLShader shader=new GLSLShader(vertex, fragment);
shader.setStaticUniform("textureMap", 0);
shader.setStaticUniform("normalMap", 1);
shader.setStaticUniform("invRadius", 0.0005f);
totem.setShader(shader);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

MemoryHelper.compact();


The vertex shader:

uniform mat4 modelViewMatrix;
uniform mat4 modelViewProjectionMatrix;

uniform vec4 additionalColor;
uniform vec4 ambientColor;

uniform vec3 lightPositions[8];

attribute vec4 position;
attribute vec3 normal;
attribute vec4 tangent;
attribute vec2 texture0;

varying vec3 lightVec[2];
varying vec3 eyeVec;
varying vec2 texCoord;

void main(void)
{
texCoord = texture0.xy;

vec3 n = normalize(modelViewMatrix * vec4(normal,0.0)).xyz;
vec3 t = normalize(modelViewMatrix * vec4(tangent.xyz, 0.0)).xyz;

vec3 b = tangent.w*cross(n, t);

vec3 vVertex = vec3(modelViewMatrix * position);
vec3 tmpVec = lightPositions[0].xyz - vVertex;

vec3 lv;
vec3 ev;

lv.x = dot(tmpVec, t);
lv.y = dot(tmpVec, b);
lv.z = dot(tmpVec, n);

lightVec[0]=lv;

tmpVec = vVertex*-1.0;
eyeVec.x = dot(tmpVec, t);
eyeVec.y = dot(tmpVec, b);
eyeVec.z = dot(tmpVec, n);

gl_Position = modelViewProjectionMatrix * position;
}


The fragment shader:


precision mediump float;

varying vec3 lightVec[2];
varying vec3 eyeVec;
varying vec2 texCoord;

uniform sampler2D textureMap;
uniform sampler2D normalMap;

uniform vec3 diffuseColors[8];
uniform vec3 specularColors[8];

uniform vec4 ambientColor;

uniform float invRadius;

void main ()
{
vec4 vAmbient = ambientColor;
vec3 vVec = normalize(eyeVec);

vec2 newTexCoord = texCoord;

vec4 base = texture2D(textureMap, newTexCoord);
vec3 bump = normalize(texture2D(normalMap, newTexCoord).xyz * 2.0 - 1.0);

float distSqr = dot(lightVec[0], lightVec[0]);
float att = clamp(1.0 - invRadius * sqrt(distSqr), 0.0, 1.0);
vec3 lVec = lightVec[0] * inversesqrt(distSqr);

float diffuse = max(dot(lVec, bump), 0.0);
vec4 vDiffuse = vec4(diffuseColors[0],0) * diffuse;

float specular = pow(clamp(dot(reflect(-lVec, bump), vVec), 0.0, 1.0), 0.85);
vec4 vSpecular = vec4(specularColors[0],0) * specular;

gl_FragColor = (vAmbient*base + vDiffuse*base + vSpecular) * att*2.0;
}
