TimeCube: a Cool Useless OpenGL Demo…
TimeCube is an OpenGL demo that renders a small rotating cube, displaying the current date and time, directly on your desktop. Common effects are used: specular highlights (trop fort les gars!!!!), realtime bump mapping (le truc qui tue!!!) and cube map reflections (là ça explose tout!).
You can grab this software gadget here: TimeCube Demo.
The demo does not eat cpu cycles so you can leave it runing somewhere in your desktop….

Categories: 3D, Game Development Tags: ambient occlusion, conversion tool, demoniak3d, game development, normal map, real-time, shadermap, texture, utility
ShaderMap is a small tool to convert photographic textures to height, ambient occlusion, normal, dudv, and specular maps. The free version is in command line and makes it a powerful tool to convert large amount of maps!
Okay guys, no more to tell, I’ve tried and it works well. The following images show the color map that has been used to produce the normal and ambient occlusion maps. I think this tool can be useful for your real time demos you code with GeeXLab.
