DUDE - the next steps

My DUDES and DUDEttes, the grainy image you are seeing right now it's the reStir style full ray-traced lighting I'm going to add as the ultimate Doom3 experience on DUDE.

It needs de-noising, smoothing, scaling down, and possibly leverage frame duplication.
But I'll get there!

Sneak peek #4 - if you know you know.

Starting to look like some mods can be loaded if there is a dhewm3 dll out there in the wild. I'm ironing out this specific one (Phobos) as it's hugely popular.

Sneak Peek #3: light and materials

Here you can see metal reacting to light like metal. SSAO and POM add intensity to the scene by darkening the parts that need darkening. I'm not sure I want to add some godrays for the rare occasions we see through windows...

Another sneak peek from my new Doom3 engine

Here you can see a before / after the shading and the subtle material changes such as the metallic bar and the armor shine

I am working on something...

Feel like it's time to share my PBR enabled sourceport of Doom3, fork of dhewm3. You can see (exaggerated in the picture) how the Screen Space reflection (SSR) works now!!!

Other nice features will be:

  • An HDR rendering pipeline (fixes lots of banding issues, like in fog areas)
  • displays in game cast their own light (no more floating screens in the dark)
  • Better soft particles (smoke doesn't clip near walls)
  • Smoke blends more realistically into darkness.
  • Grates with a light behind will cast accurate shadows.
  • Occlusion maps can be loaded from custom files.
  • Screen Space Ambient Occlusion
  • New shadow mapped shadow system (optional)

Let me know if there's anything you would like in such engine. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to decompile DLL from mods, so notorious "Original Doom3 only mods" could be played on this (looking at you Doom3: Phobos)
