This session is a part of a series entitled POLYLOGUES organized by the International center for art and new technologies (CIANT) in Prague & New media studies (Charles University) in cooperation with Georgia Institute of Technology & MARCEL network. It aims to stimulate interdisciplinary exchange of ideas via sessions moderated from Prague while having guest speakers from all over the world.
We hope to create a bridge between countries that will facilitate intercultural or rather intercontinental and interdisciplinary exchanges in the fields of art and new technologies. All sessions will be recorded and made available to general public in the archive.

hi

Don’t worry I’m not sleeping. I’m bit busy nowadays, but….

• I realized few thinks, first of all I need to reconstruct motoric system of a fighter, this one is not enough for complex movement and I need to test better armature system.

• I tried also doubled vertex count on the fighter and it looks much better, …who would have ever guess, but it runs still on 60fps(windows) and 260fps(linux) on my notebook. That means that I’ll make 2 levels of details for slower and better machines.

• GLSL shaders are cool but it dramatically change a visage of the game compared with setup without GLSL, will see.
