I have decided not to use click and drag but only click using the mouse, sorry ignore my previous post.
Without knowledge of a particular game engine such as Unity and/or Unreal the path of least resistance would be to utilize your C++ skills to attempt to get into game engine programming. Game engine programming can be very demanding and requires a lot of intimate knowledge of hardware systems and 3…
Sweet! How about some hunting. Can you make spears, bows and arrows, clubs? You know, that caveman stuff.
This is my second “abandoning” article (also see “Abandoning Vulkan”) so it needs to be mentioned that I am all for trying new things and not sticking to a single programming language or technology in general. As was the case with the Vulkan API, before deciding to write this text as the conclusion…

Ultra Engine 0.9.6 is here, with a new foliage system that replaces and improves the vegetation system in Leadwerks. Whereas Leadwerks uses a geometry shader, Ultra uses a compute shader that provides more power and better performance. The most significant improvement is the inclusion of sublayers,…
OpenGL procedural terrain.
Here is a smalll list of some of the techniques I used here:
. tessellation shaders
. trilinear texture mapping
. 2D billboards
. displacement mapping
. wind animation using noise texture
. HDR
. advanced bloom via downsampling

Update 5 How to write C++ variables for Unreal blueprint; UPROPERTY Basics
What's wrong with just putting EditAnywhere on everything? Here I explain the different mark up keywords for configuring UProperty variables for the editor.
The reason you don't want to use EditAnywhere on everything, …
Linear interpolation is everywhere. Games, 3D animation, image creation tools and much more all rely heavily on interpolation, so having a thorough understanding of linear interpolation is extremely important.
This text is somewhat geared towards game developers, however it's general enough to apply…
small3d is a small, cross-platform 3D game development library I have put together and have been maintaining over the past few years. This is a tutorial on creating a ball in Blender, and then writing a C++ program that loads it and moves it around on the screen, using small3d. Alternatively you ca…
