X_FRIDGE

. What is X_FRIDGE?

. X_FRIDGE is a realtime environmental visualization project with some parameters to change the overall view like the abiliity to add fog or change the camera

. FOV and also some post effects like Distortion, Bloom, Paint, etc that are applied in real time. Next all of them will be describe in detail.

. What is the main purpose of making this environment?

. This is my first serious realtime project and my purpose was to get more familiar with realtime word and also get in professional to work with QUEST3D.

. Another purpose was to achive a higher level of realism. It was very challenging to me, because there are some limitations in the realtime content.

. Modeling and designing have been done in MAYA and the realtime frame work application has been QUEST3D. For texturing I use a combination of MAYA

. and PHOTOSHOP. To export a mesh in X format from MAYA to QUEST3D I used the OKINO PolyTrans for MAYA. To generate a normal map I used NVIDIA

. Normal Map Filter Plugin. All the light bakeing processes are done by MENTALRAY stand alone and there is no dynamic shadow or light in a final result. To

. Close the project.

. X_FRIDGE only tested on NVIDIA GPU there is a possiblity on ATI or other GPUs in Very High or Ultra High Preset Quality , ground texture become flicker. If it

. happens disable normal map or bump map.

. In case that you see any bug please report it to me with an snapshot of a problem.

. If you are a game programmer and have a speciality in QUEST3D or other game engines or interested in cooperating me, you can contact me via Email

. info@ali-rahimi.net for more information.

. Also some of my projects are capable to become a game engine technical demo. In case you need a technical demo for your game engine you can contact

. me as well.
