Shaderific – iOS app to learn OpenGL ES shaders

15/10/2012 by ARF

Shaderific is a great iOS application for OpenGL ES shader learning. The app provides the source code for the vertex and fragment shaders for 18 built-in demo shaders, and it allows the creation of new ones. Many 3D objects (including the required teapot) are available, and material and lighting can also be set. There is … Read more

Importing 3D Models with Assimp

07/06/201115/04/2011 by ARF

This is an OpenGL 3.3 + GLSL 3.3 sample that loads and displays a 3D model with Assimp. It also uses DevIL in case the model has textures. It was based on Assimps OpenGL demo and it extends it to support OpenGL 3.3 The sample uses Texturing, Vertex Array Objects, and Uniform Blocks. Camera can … Read more

AMD – Pipeline Kit

30/03/201130/03/2011 by ARF

The PipelineKit is an open source project originated at AMD to develop a visual and high level programming environment for OpenCL and DirectCompute applications running on GPUs, APUs and multi-core CPUs. A textual pipeline description language describes buffers, kernels, uniforms, invariants, and control graphs with stages that together comprise a computational pipeline. A pipeline generator … Read more

Shadow Explorer – Intel

29/03/2011 by ARF

Shadow Explorer was designed for shadow map technique comparison. Currently it has four techniques implemented:simple shadow maps, percentage closer shadow maps, variance shadow maps and exponential variance shadow maps. Two different scenes and a full set of parameters should keep us busy for a while 🙂

OpenGL 3.3 + GLSL 1.5 Sample

22/05/201123/03/2011 by ARF

New simple, yet complete, sample of code to draw two triangles using OpenGL 3.3 and GLSL 1.5. As far as I know the sample does not use any deprecated functions. The sample covers Vertex Objects, Vertex Array Objects, Uniform and Attribute variables, shader setting, and definition of the camera and perspective matrices.

Kinect – Aiding Blind to Navigate

20/03/2011 by ARF

NAVI (Navigational Aids for the Visually Impaired) is project by master’s students Michael Zöllner and Stephan Huber at the University of Konstanz, Germany, aiming at improving indoor navigation for visually impaired by leveraging the Microsoft Kinect camera, a vibrotactile waistbelt and markers from the AR-Toolkit.

Folder Visualization

14/03/2011 by ARF

Using cushion squarified treemaps, your hard drive contents are displayed graphically. The visualization is great to understand how your drive’s space is being used. Everytime I use a tool like this I end up deleting or compressing large files that are no longer used.
