All non-editor data is in standard formats: PNG, WAV, and mp3. Each game is self-contained in up to 3 data folders, though only one is actually needed. Setup is a utility that is used to change all other settings in the project, for example, the HUD, network, or particle settings.Ī data folder, representing the game, contains all the maps, models, artwork, sounds, and scripts required to create a game in dim3. This makes character movement simplistic yet very realistic. The Animator uses a skeletal animation system. The Animator is used to add bones, setup poses for the bones, and to combine those poses into animations. The Animator is used to add loop animations and effects to models used with dim3. The Editor is capable of per-pixel lighting, bump and specular mapping, real-time lighting and/or baked lighting, particles and other special effects, skeletal animation, and customization through javascript. The Editor is used to create levels by importing various 3D models into it. All versions can play network games with each other.
#M2 AND DIM3 MAC OS#
The engine runs on Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, iOS, and can be compiled on Linux. The games (or "projects") are cross-platform and only require the proper engine to run on the proper platform. The Engine is the deployment application that runs games created in dim3. ĭim3 uses OpenGL for rendering, JavaScript for scripting, XML for data and Simple DirectMedia Layer for resolution switching, input, and sound.ĭim3 includes four applications: Engine, Editor, Animator, and Setup. and featured as one of their "hot game building tools." dim3 has an entry in DevMaster's 3D engines database.

It has been chosen as a staff pick for OS X development software by Apple.

I hope they eventually move this into a high level API similar to OpenMP that can be used from C++.Dim3, also known as Dimension 3, is a free and open-source 3D game engine created by Brian Barnes.
12.6 would even give me hope that I could get a 25% speedup if I really optimized, and 25% off of 5 hours would be great. The portion I need to move back is only 16 bytes. I’m on 2.0, so maybe it was better under 1.1. Does that mean you also need to copy some data to/from the device each time? That will hurt even more than the kernel call overhead. You mention that a complicated class needs to perform operations in between each iteration. Run a kernel that takes several milliseconds and the overhead is minuscule in comparison. The unfortunate truth of GPU computing is that they are ill-suited to “small” problems because of this launch overhead. I’m going to try CUDA 2.0 a little later and see if the situation is any different. That’s a little faster than your 30, but nothing to be excited about. Machine: Sun Ultra 40 M2 / CentOS 5.1 / CUDA 1.1 If you can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
#M2 AND DIM3 DRIVER#
I am using the beta sdk on windows vista with a geforce 8600 GT and the beta driver from the 2.0 sdk download. But, some logic from a very complicated class has to be applied after each iteration, so I can’t group these in the kernel function. Now, this function gets run hundreds of millions of times so there is room for savings. So, the naive implementation was faster, but the overall function call was slower. So, I created a blank kernel function // setup execution parametersĪnd this alone takes (when averaged) 30 microseconds per call. I did a very naive threading in CUDA, with 512 threads and was surprised to see that it was at 60 microseconds. I have a function that takes 40 microseconds to execute on a core2duo quad at 3ghz that is threaded with openmp and vectorized using the intel compiler.
I’m just getting my feet wet with this, and I’m kind of surprised how long it is taking to load the kernel to the GPU. include 'funset.hpp'include
