Kinect Joint Orientation Demo

Right now i’m experimenting with Kinect to animate a 3D model or model skinning by using Kinect. To calculate the joint orientation, first i need to obtain the three orthonormal axes (X, Y, and Z) and create Quaternion to change every bone orientation. By this way, the noise produces by Kinect can be reduced and character movement [...]

Launch launch Launch Saturn V

Hi, it’s been long time since my last post. I’ve just finished a project titled “Launch Launch Launch Saturn V”.  I made this using OGRE 3D and Bullet Physics. Oh yeah, if you want to look at the code you can get it from google code: http://code.google.com/p/azbullet/

RayIntersect on Terrain

To get ray intersect on worldGeometry is can be read here (http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/Intermediate+Tutorial+2&structure=Tutorials), but if Terrain or TerrainGroup is used, the code will be slightly different: On the code above, instead RaySceneQUery, RayIntersect is used, a variable std::pair <bool, Ogre::Vector3> is used to store value of RayIntersects function, use test.fisrt to check if the Ray intersect [...]

Pathfinding Using Region Growing Algorithm

Region Growing Algorithm is one of pathfinding solutions and it is simple to implement.  For example,  in a game you have a map of two-dimensional-array and you want to move a character from start point to end point. The advantages if you use Region Growing are you don’t have to check every tiles and effective [...]
