So, turrets… man now I know why most dev’s are so proud to show off “turrets” and how they track scene objects in the game. I’ve always known how/what to do – it’s quite simple. I’ve written full bone-rig animation… Read More »

Rendering objects in space realistically is a big problem aesthetically. Space is black, lots and lots of black – more precisely, there’s very little light. That might surprise you when you look at nice brightly lit pictures of moons, and… Read More »
So, here we have the lens flares integrated into the Dominion game engine, and full HD capture in real-time for everyone to enjoy!
