I didn’t particularly enjoy my encounters with Inverse Kinematics. Huge pain. (But they did look pretty good sometimes)

I hate flash’s iks…
You mean the ‘bone’ tool built into newer versions of Adobe’s IDE? If so, then obviously. It’s Adobe :/
Also, I am now tempted to make some fishboidipedes.

Thank you very much for these links. I love the fluid dynamics paper!

It would be nice if you guys can add to it; I’ve been looking for interesting stuff such as the above. thanks! PS bump mapping.

bump mapping and raycasting, go! (too lazy to find links).
Also I’ve been working on a boids simulator thing. Some screenies:
tunnel-vision boids can only see a 90 degree window in front of them
hipster boids don’t go with the flow, and think orange is the new blue
chaser boids get embedded image cuz they’re my favorite:

o-o.
if you want to know how to implement an effect, and you want to look at pure logic instead of hard to read c++, use pseudocode. It was the one article that actually worked in teaching me boids.

Hipster boids :D That is a good one.
And yup, psuedocode is great for the lazy (i.e. all programmers)

Almost all algorithms that you find on Wikipedia are in pseudocode for obvious reasons

He kind of is. I don’t know that I’ve ever written (and rarely read) pseudocode by any kind of standard. Outside of Wikipedia, it’s usually just like:
Loop through grid
if (!gridElement.isAwesome) { print(gridElement.name) }
floodFillWithAwesome(list,gridElement)
if(onlyOneIsTrue of A,B,C,D) { gridElement.createPiano() }
If pseudocode has a syntax as rigorous as any language, it’s pointless. The purpose of pseudocode isn’t that it can’t compile, but that it’s easy to understand and to write.

Updated Op with a link to voxel implmentation :)

If the bump mapping was extremely optimized, think of how cool it’d look on a hi-res version of minecraft. Dang.

Not very; When looking at a face from a low angle it will seem very flat compared to the other faces.

That last link… I love the outcome of that code, looks so neat :‘D Too bad I don’t really understand how it works yet.

I want to revive this thread… bump!
feel free to add links on each type of resource since the ones I provided aren’t that great…
