Probably final this time I was trying to find a compromise between speed and quality and came up with an idea of triangle-based cubic interpolation. Fortunately it turned out that such beast already existed – http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/akima/. It’s several times faster than Natural Neighbour and gives better results than Linear Interpolation, although there are some artefacts

I’m trying to add bits and pieces of modern rendering techniques which are supposed to make a game look more realistic. With moderate success so far… stuff used: Flow maps, Fur and Blur. Try to spot them in the picture
Here is how we’re progressing with my Blender teachings ;] As you can see, my student should now be able to create pleasingly looking scenes with some visually appealing details instead of just plain geometry. Some of the techniques involved: texture animation, normal textures, armature, IPO curves, skybox. Download: monkey_dodge1.zip !!!
Yeah, I won’t deny it – despite loads of work here at CHUV, I found some free time to code a stupid little game for Android ;D You know that as a coder I hate bugs, right? I looked for an existing title that featured some realistic bug smashing action but much to my surprise
