Me and Christopher Schiefer are working on this full deferred rendering engine for a long time. We ended up with some interesting results in terms of performance & quality. What you see here is all wip. All Codes are from scratch,none of them is from act3D. We made a huge effort to set it up as optimized as possible. It took us 1 year and yet long a way to go. All post process shaders are downsampled, so it runs very fast @ 1080p.

Everything is Optimized due to Downsampling and mostly usage of LUTs for Storing Multiple used calculations

D&F = downsampled and Fullscreen possibility

The rest including deferred pipeline setup, Terrain, etc is mine.

Pretty badass. Planning to release this or?

This engine is for my game project. But i might release this editor for debugging or even more. Who knows ;)

Cool. Whats with the stippling patterns?

Good progress, ease up on the AO intensity though.

Computron: appears it's the noise texture used for SSAO sampling.

this is nuts.
good work!

From SCRATCH!? Seriously...? If so, that's incredible for just a team of 2 guys.

Please do plan on releasing this....if not for free, then not too expensive, please ;)

Thanks guys. SSAO is not 100% finish.
Main purpose of this engine is for my game, but depending on my time i have some cool idea's. One of them is a kinds of social network but only for 3d artist, Imagine a kinds of city, each user have its own home or portal entry, and he or she can present his works on his own space and others can came an visit his place, chatting, writing comments on his 3d wall, etc.There are many 3d social network on the web,
http://arianeb.com/more3Dworlds.htm
but they all have a stone age graphic and their purpose is different.
What do you think about such a network? any idea?
one of my mates already finished a 3d chat system and networking side for quest3d. So this is a very close possibility, The only issue is time. building such a network + editor is a huge task.

@tristamus
This shot might help you with what i mean by from scratch, However its an old shot.


btw, Most of the vegetation are imported from crysis, also Cathedral & Cemetery are from a model pack which i buy it long time ago. And that skin mesh character is from oblivion. Cause these are all test and i will not publish any exe of this environment setup i did not mention those. For a final release everything will be original, just like my other projects

This is full of awesome, really great work guys. I'll be following your progress for sure!!

Wait a second, this is done in quest3d? o.0

Last time I saw something made in quest it looked like it's from the 90's. This is just mind blowing!

Btw your idea sounds much like a next gen version of Second Life for Artists, wich doesn't sound like a bad idea, I'm interested to see where this one goes now.

Thanks guys.
Any suggestion about such a network?

well this would be super, but it would have to be running on one kickass server.
also i think there are some conceptual problems;
on one hand i gues it would not realy help you get hired, cause most of the companies wont take the effort to register and use this unless it realy becomes an important place to be.
on the other hand it sort of takes the controll over the presentation with people being able to zoom on all the ugly parts you dont want them to see.

last and most important people could also be affraid of theyr models and textures getting ripped.

i like the idea but i think it would not be worth the effort, wich would be huge.

I see Chris finally took my advice to post here on polycount. You guys went from doing cool stuff on other peoples engines to making your own. Good Stuff. Keep us posted Ali

@Goeddy. Thanks for the advise. About the server side sure we need a good server but it don't need to be a kickass server for the beginning. There are many methods to optimize and manage such a network, but in general its not easy at all. About the hired issue, actually i am not looking for any job anywhere. I am totally a freelancer.
About the ugly parts you don't want them to see, i must say, solution is simple. don't do any ugly modeling, this is related to the quality of the end user art work. About the piracy i don't take it that much serious, perhaps when this is all done, then there should be some sorts of rule and agreement.
I think you are focusing too much on empty half of the glass . But thanks anyway.

@Hboybowen, thanks

really nice looking for a second i thought it was some kind of cryengine build, seeing those assets. Not sure if you should downsample all your post passes, the noise is probably the only thing that is letting it down atm. Hope to see this evolving into a ready-for-release engine!

this is amzing!!! Great job guys!

Thanks again. we are working on it full time. Hardest part for now is a proper octree and bsp setup.

Several new shot's. We are working on global ambient occ.

I regret nothiiiiiing!

Amaaaazin :O

The GAO looks really nice man

I really think deferred rendering is the future, its so cost effective. You guys are doing an amazing job!

Yeah the GAO looks like a really good start.
Are all of the effects overdone at the moment? It'd be nice to see some examples where they were a little more realisticly applied.
How easy is it to set up the lighting? Is there much tweaking of settings required to get it set up?

Thanks guys.
@mytes, yes its all wip. setting up lights and other stuff for the end user should be very easy. Hardest part for me is to setup a proper octree for optimization. I am working on it. Scene management is the hardest part. http://www.gamedev.net/topic/349829-...aph-resources/

In these 2 shot's you can see octree and sun shadow frustrum culling progress.





And more Global AO in progress.

Is GAO a screenspace effect, or?

No. Its not related to screen. Unlike SSAO.

Our method for GAO is a bit different.
