Information
This project exists so that I may learn more modern
techniques than I have used in my previous projects. It also
uses DirectX and this is the first time I have ever used
that. So it is basically a learning project using existing
content to make things easier.
Even though it might be hard to see in the screenshots below
everything is rendered with per-pixel lighting, normal
mapping (dot3-bumpmapping) and specular mapping.

Update
The last couple of weeks I have tried to improve
perfomance in certain areas in the game-maps. The problem
seem to be related to the drawing of the same surfaces
several times because of the number of lights. Essentially
it seems to be a fillrate-problem. My attempts have failed
however. So I decided to clean up the code a bit so as to
get a clear overview and a better design. There is still
work to be done in that area, but it has become
better. After that I began creating proper support for
materials so that not only light-interaction materials
were rendered but also materials with blending and other
stuff. There is a very interesting news item on the Doom 3 SDK site
regarding how materials are rendered that I'm looking at
to determine how to draw surfaces so that they appear
correctly.

Created page
The page for this project now exists so that I can write
some development logs.
Screenshots
Well, it would not be a project page of a graphics project
without some screenshots. So here are some thumbnails that
link to larger images. They are quite dark, but so is Doom
3.
