This engine looks SO COOL! I can't wait to see what you create with this!

This is really impressive that you've managed it all by yourself (okay sure, external libraries, etc, but still!) Well done! Impressive stuff :)

Love the video! It's awesome seeing how these portals come together and how they create weird geometry.

That was great! I'm a little disappointed that you abandoned the ray-casting engine, but I get you actually wanting to build a finished game this time.

I'm currently implementing the same code for oblique clipping planes that you mentioned, and it did give me a boost of confidence that you struggled with it too! It's very hard to figure out what's going on if something is wrong.

I had a lot more issues with it than I showed in the video 😅 I spent a few hours trying to debug my initial implementation only to find out that I hadn't read the last few paragraphs of the paper and had missesd the (very important) step of scaling the near plane such that the far plane doesn't get too messed up. oops.

These portal setups are giving me some strong Antichamber vibes. Very cool.

Bungie's Marathon actually has a lot of non-euclideon geometry within the game. It was the first FPS game that could have multiple floors over the top of each other, and the way they did it was actually by using portal based rendering. And instead of hiding it, there are multiple places within the campaign where you can find hallways that come from nowhere.

Hi, does it happen to be possible one day you explain your journey on learning programming in a such complex level? You see, this is amazing and very inspiring, and it would be cool to know how it went for you, what methods did you use, or even some tips that could be shared with us that could help us learners :) Props to the awesome work!

if you were asked to build a shed, you would plant some trees with acorns you couldn't buy but could find, wait for the trees to grow, use the wood for the walls, go mining for the metal, build a furnace from your own gathered clay/bricks and then finally finish the task that could have taken you a few weeks, but you had to do everything yourself and take several years to do. you are not re-inventing the wheel, you are merely making your own rubber, cast, rims, etc.

Gotta love the rewrite.

Welcome to my badly explained bug fix! You made your portals pull the player through them to avoid certain camera issues (and I assume the infamous "Infinitely teleporting character" glitch). I would like to propose a solution to that. Rather than having the portal be a flat square, make it a box intersecting the wall. All sides of this box would render according to the geometry of the world by the exit portal. Once the player intersects the front quad and fully enters the portal, teleport them then. This would allow the player to freely stand in the seam of the portals, without any camera issues, and it would fix the teleport glitch. I am unsure how much of that you understood, and even if you did understand it, I'm not sure how much of it you'll be able to implement. Until next time, that was "Badly Explained Bug Fix"!

Wow, this looks amazing! When you finish, may you please realease the software

This is awesome.

you kind of remind me of me... I grew up on Doom, made lots of levels in the DOS WadED level editor when I was a kid. Had Doom books in elementary/junior high school. Recently read the Doom Black book several times. Working on my own game engine, got decently far, then decided to start over from scratch again. Now that I'm decently along I'm already thinking of the next version... I think that working on game engines and using them for creative coding might just be more fun than trying to make an actual game and I need to accept that!

I wish you uploaded more frequently but I also get why you don't, this is amazing

It might be a cool continuation of this series to see how far you can push a sector based engine on modern hardware. Games like Shadow Warrior pushed it pretty far, with room over room, transparent water, voxel objects, drivable vehicles and so on. But is that the absolute limit, feature wise? If not, where is the limit? What if fps engines never moved on to polygons?

To that comment about y-sheering, I actually always enable that effect in old game engines if it supports it; Gzdoom, dark forces source port etc: it’s strangely nostalgic for me

Totally reminds me of Bisqit's video on his Doom style renderer with the slow motion render

I love how I understand nothing but still enjoy the video😂

Very cool tech! I wonder if you explored the idea of moving the software renderer into a compute shader + upgrading it to a fully 3d renderer...Although that certainly wouldn't have helped with debugging. Quite the contrary actually 😅

Love the vids for both the content and aesthetic. What font do you use?

Really well put together, nice work! Quick question though: The reason you don't have to deal with near-clipping in the software renderer is because the way the portal rendering is set up to only allow rendering of sectors/walls that are actually *beyond* the portal plane, in that the portal plane itself acts as a clipping plane, right? But in the 3-D rasterization pipeline, you hand over to the GPU the entire sector to be "portal'd"/"stencil'd" which includes geometries that are in between the camera's near plane and the portal plane.

@jdh

9 ай бұрын

yes, exactly! and in the software renderer, the portals/camera (treated the same in code) keep track of which column of pixels have been drawn and clip sides which are outside of the available columns so there is 0 overdraw. so the "true" 3D pipeline introduces a bunch of overdraw which has to be fixed with the stencil buffer.

@undefBehav

@@jdh Yup, that's right! Both the portal rendering approach and BSP help reduce overdraw tremendously. Thank you for the quick response, looking forward to seeing a follow-up video to this one. Have a nice one!

Trivia: Duke3D has also used portals (or at least something very similar): mirrors are implemented by rendering the level as if the camera were behind the mirror, looking into the room where the player is standing. If you walk through them (with a noclip cheat), you'll see a "copy" of the level, with everything reversed horizontally.

This is starting to look really similar to something I was working on about a year and a half ago. And it had procedural generation, too, though mostly boring with the occasional infinite tunnel. Ultimately I drove myself crazy trying to do shadow volumes across portals, and moved on to other stuff.
