NeoAxis 3D Game Engine updated to version 1.3



The company NeoAxis Group announces the release of 3D engine NeoAxis Engine to version 1.3. In the new version of the engine added a lot of new features along with changed license terms for engine edition supplied with full source code.



Major new features
the
    the
  • Added effect Screen Space Ambient Occlusion. SSAO is a rendering technique used for the efficient implementation of real-time Ambient Occlusion effect, widely used in computer graphics. This effect contains many parameters for fine tuning and helps to achieve the best balance of quality and performance.

    • Improving the landscape on the basis of the height map. Maximum height map increased from 1024x1024 to 4096x4096 pixels (16 times). This was possible due to significantly reduced memory consumption. Added support for levels of detail (Level of Detail), allowing to increase the drawing speed. The implementation is based on the technique of "Continuous Distance-Dependent Level of Detail for Rendering Heightmaps" (CDLOD).

    Lens Flare Manager — the new object to help you create flare effects lens for the camera.

    Platformer Demo with 2D physics — in the NeoAxis SDK added new map, which is a prototype game-platformer with 2D physics.

    Pathfinding Demo — added new map showing the system of pathfinding based on navigation meshes.

    SceneBox is a new component of system user interfaces of the engine that displays a 3D scene as a separate control. The component allows you to place 3D models, effects in the resource editor or manipulate objects from code. An example of the use of such a component can be a garage with a car choice in the game simulator car, or a 3D character avatar in the corner of the screen. To illustrate the need to run the file Game.exe and in the main menu click "Gui Test 2".

    WinFormsMultiViewAppExample.exe — example application based on WinForms. Demonstrates the ability to create applications with multiple 3D views. the

  • In addition to the ability to import various 3D model formats such as Collada, added the ability to import models in FBX format. Added ability to import animated models with skeletal animation.
    • the
  • resource editor tool calculate Ambient Occlusion for individual models.
    • the
  • In the map editor added the ability to export geometry to FBX or Collada format (DAE).

NeoAxis as the platform for non-game projects



In conclusion we would like to stress the possibility of effective application of the NeoAxis engine for non-game projects development for Windows and Mac. Thanks to rich functionality, powerful tools and modern technology, the NeoAxis engine is a complete development solution for a wide range of applications relevant to industry, research, education and training of staff, etc.
Previously we already piali about the successful experience of the application of the NeoAxis engine when creating 3D simulator accidents for the chemical industry, implemented by systems Engineering. The developers of University Human-Computer Interaction Lab of the University of Udine, Italy used the NeoAxis engine to create the project EMSAVE ("Emergency Medical Services for the disAbled" Virtual Environment), interactive tutorial simulator to provide medical assistance to people with disabilities. At the moment the project is in one of the training centers of the Italian hospital.

Monitoring PostgreSQL + php-fpm + nginx + disk using Zabbix

a Lot of information in the network according to Zabbix, and a lot of bespoke templates, I want to introduce to the audience his modification. Zabbix is a very convenient and flexible monitoring tool. Want a hundred monitor, I want a thousand stations, and do not want to — watch a single server, take the cream in all sections. I would not mind to give to github, if anyone collects similar. It so happened that we decided to put on the hosting database wrapper php-fpm+nginx. As the database is postgres. Thoughts to collect data on the machine was before the purchase of hosting is needed, this is useful! Magic kick up the backside to the implementation of the system gave the brakes a hard drive on our VDS stations at the beginning of the script every minute, put the time and measured by the speed in the file, and then build graphs in Excel to compare to as it was/became, take quantitative statistics. And this is just one option! And suddenly the fault is not VDS, and our a

Templates ESKD and GOST 7.32 for Lyx 1.6.x

for more than six months I use a word processor Lyx. Built-in templates is more than enough to write lecture notes, prepare for seminars and to do simple reports for laboratory work. But last semester I had to make two course of the project in accordance with the requirements ESKD. I have begun work in Lyx, but without special templates of documents, my reports in the editor looked like this: A little work, a little reading of the document "Customizing LyX: Features for the Advanced User" and it turned out where the beam: You can use immediately. If you have experience of working in Lyx, problems will not arise. Just in case the attached sample documents. Description of how to make such templates are not yet doing. Someone will ask — will tell. ESKD Screenshot menu select unit type: Group "sections and subsections" appeared due to the fact that the document can be sections with sections without subsections — for their handling of para

After writing this post, I was interested in the search parameters which you can use for convenient operation. Given this issue, in Runet I'm more or less full information is not found. But! It turns out Google for a long time and for all shown . Let's start simple — www.google.com/search?q=Запрос this is the simplest query, in which all options are disabled or parameters are used which are stored in your cookies. Next I will talk about the most interesting and used parameters. If you want to know more, you here . Even though it is called the search parameter, I will use the word token. So any of the marks are for the test, insert the end of the line (if your line is of the same kind as just above). Marker search by country &cr=countryRU Putting this token, we get the results from the specified country. List of acronyms used.
