Project Concluded
in OpenCL Particle System
The project is now concluded. The only things that happened to the project since my last blog entry is that the particles now have a better texture (which kind of looks like smoke, as in the picture) and project has been shown off at milestone3.
All the documents are available through the links on the side, now including a how-to with retrospect, the executable application and some demo movies.

Goal driven behavior
in Game Demo AI ProgrammingThe work on the goal driven behavior for my bots has been an undergoing work during a long time of the project, mostly when I was tired of debugging. Last week of the project have only been dedicated to the behavior thou and even thou a lot of them were written there were non of them that didn’t need some kind of rewriting. At the moment there are only three “main” goals: Attack enemy, Grab flag, Score flag. There is a lot of different sub-goals thou to make the character path find, run, attack and die. Implemented a special goal Think which is the goal that decides what my agents should do. Every “main” goal got it’s own desire calculator which uses things lake range, agent health and flag position to calculate a number between zero and one and then sets the highest goal as the agents current goal. Balancing the desires was very hard and does need a lot more testing and balancing to get the desired behavior from the agents.

Path smoothing
in Game Demo AI ProgrammingFallen behind on the blogging this last week so here comes a few things I have done.
Path smoothing so the characters won’t walk so strange. Red line is the original path found by my path finder. Blue line is my new smoothed path. Only had time to implement step one out of two so there is still room for improvements but the path is now acceptable at least.
The method I have implemented to smooth the path is called “rubber banding”. All my triangles is my nav-mesh is bound together with it’s adjacent triangles by three edges, one for each adjacent triangle. When finding my path I am using the mid-point of those edges as the points the character moves to. When “rubber banding” my path the idea is to move the walk-point on every edge to straighten out the path. Further explanation can be found in my HowTo.

Deadline!
in Creature Modeling for Film ProductionIt’s deadline now, and a short clip is done!
I’m really not satisfied yet, because I feel that I need to render another pass, adjust some things, spend some more time in post production, and maybe give the clip some sounds.
Right now I think I’m too tired to be satisfied with it…
But here’s the video!
