you could write your vector class so it can handle operations on batches of data though I don't know about the vector class, but will be useful for the matrix class, but on the other hand doesn't the gum library has that already (multiplication of matrices, etc)? Anyway. thanks for the quick replys...

Actually, I was just looking at my vec3 class and was thinking if those functions were hardware accelarated, switch my own with them. gumCrossProduct() and gumDotProduct() are there for convenience, if you intend to use them in a larger set of data I recommend that you use vdot.p/t/q or vcrs.t direc...

Assembly still has a place, but it is usually inline a C/C++ program or in demo scene! Usually after you finish debugging and you are near release version, you can start optimize your code by replacing often used functions with assembly. Of course you do that after u have checked how you compiler co...

No, nothing THAT big, actually not bigger that 4-5 units! Its just the fact that as you hover the camera around, sometimes 2 points of the triangle (the half of the floor in my case) will be outside the frustum and so you will be seeing the background color instead of the floor. But it doesn't matte...

I know that the subject has been beaten to death - but I am having the same problem. Large triangles, gets clipped off if 2 or more points of the triangle are off the screen. The thing is, I disabled CLIP_PLANES and SCISSOR_TEST, but still gets clipped. Is that normal behaviour ( I thought by disabl...

fpsDisplay = (char*) malloc( 20*sizeof(char)); fpsDisplay = "FPS: calculating"; That line actually, it was from crashes I had on my earlier attempts. I used to have fpsDisplay as a normal char array of 20, which i added the # of fram...

Thanks a lot Raphael, I will try once more, to see if it actually worths the hassle to move the textures to video memory (if the speed is not increased dramatically I see no point..). Although its always useful to keep your most used texture maps (of your main character example) somewhere fast! Just...

I am still not sure what exacly this function does, I suppose that somehow it moves the data to the video memory, but I didn't see any difference in speed! In my head I imagined that it would create a new allocation in video memory and would copy the data there and so you would be able to free the d...

Yes, I saw the "sceGuCopyImage" function, but looking at the provided example I was a bit confused. How do you call bind the texture afterward? Would you still use the variable name? Or do you provide a different variable for the vram placed texture? the example i say is that: sceGuCopyIma...

[Solved] Textures to VRAM

Hello! I 've have started porting NeHe's Tutorials for the PSPGU and was wondering of how can I assign a texture to the VRAM? I made a search but no similar posts appeared (if there is one already, i am sorry, but didn't find it..) If you are interested about the tutorials (and with it the code I us...
