Geospace 3D

Hi all !

I need some performance feedback from my GUI for my tool, can you test it please ?

With this version you only load an heightmap and a shader is apply to it.

Try with and with out a terrain in small and full screen please

Don't forget to write you configuration the resolution

An heightmap is in the Ressource folder, if you don't have one( toolbar new project to load it)

thank a lot

Very nice GUI. I presume it's a modified BCF 3.0 GUI?

Here are my results.

Default window - no terrain - 143 fps
Default window - with terrain - 41 fps

Maximized window - no terrain - 71 fps
Maximized window - with terrain - 31 fps

Maximized window is 1600 x 1200

In all cases the movement is rather smooth.

Yes, it's BCF 3.0 modifed, I think, Filax and me put the tooltip in the next release of the BCF :-)

Thank for your test

The 3d grid dissappears when you look at it at different angles and I get strange z buffering issues on the terrain.

Yes, it the grid if you hide it, you no longer have the probleme but what is your perf ?

After you can set the height of the grid ...

Looks good.

Here are my results.

Default window - no terrain - 80fps
Default window - with terrain - 35 fps

Maximized window - no terrain - 52fps
Maximized window - with terrain - 20 fps

Maximized window is 1152x 864 x 16

Even at 20fps it was still OK to use

AthlonXP 1800, Matrox G550, 1/2gig ram

without terrain default: 135fps
without terrain Fullscreen: 91FPS

with terrain default: 102fps
with terrain Fullscreen: 72fps

amd 3200, gf3ti500

Default window no terrain = 141fps
Default window with terrain = 61fps
Max. window (1024x768) no terrain = 105fps
Max. window with terrain = 54fps

Looks good Eole.

default window no terrain = 110-120 fps
default window with loaded terrain = 10-25 fps
default window with create terrain = 25-32 fps
(create terrain is flat)

Turning off grid or skybox does not help fps.

==========================
I know it is not something that you are looking for right now, but when you load or create a terrain and then
click on New and click OK without loading or creating a terrain, the program crashes. (either a MAV or general crash)

=============
By the way I have ATi 9700Pro, but only at 4x AGP
Athlon 1800XP (1.5GHz), WinME, 768MB RAM.

Are you and Filax getting together and combining Geospace3D and TerraEd?

That would be a great program to have.

Spec:
2.8GHz
ATI Radeon Pro 9600
512 meg Ram.
Windows XP

At Screen size = 1280 x 1024 pixels (32bit colour)
Default Window mode with no terrain = 95fps
Default window mode with terrain = 33fps
Maximized window no terrain = 66fps
Maximized window with terrain = 29fps

At screen size = 1024 x 768 pixels (32 bit colour)
Default Window mode with no terrain = 115fps
Default window mode with terrain = 35fps
Maximized window no terrain = 105fps
Maximized window with terrain = 35fps

At screen size = 800 x 600 pixels (32 bit colour)
Default Window mode with no terrain = 145fps
Default window mode with terrain = 37fps
Maximized window no terrain = 143fps
Maximized window with terrain = 37fps

Thank Dangerdace, I correct it.

For your question ,yes we finding how the 2 tool can talk together, it 's the final objectif

Sorry for my english ....

Glad to help with fixing a problem.
Glad to hear that you are getting the programs to work together.

==============================================
Eole, your english is not a problem.

It's much better than my french/francais.

"Bonjour", "Ou est le toilet?", "Merci", lol!

lol

Combined Geospace3D and TerraEd will definitely be on my shopping list as soon as they appear in combined version. Keep up the good work, lads. :)
