NV_VERTEX_PROGRAM

[Nutty]

Just to let you know I've uploaded an OpenGL version of the Toon Shader demo from Nvidia's DX effects browser.

Uses Vertex Programs under OpenGL! http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif

Outline texture is not perfect. Will fix that soon. But thats not really that important.

where you got the driver? the official dont support nv_vertex_program

[Nutty]

It uses 7.17.

You can grab it from my website too, for win2k and win9x. (I've never tested it under win9x!!!!!!)

I'll point out again, that those drivers are leaked, and you are using them are your own risk. Dont come crying to me or nvidia if your computer blows up! http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif

That said I've never had any problems with them.

The point is, the actual mechanics of how it works is there for everyone to look at.

hm youre link is not working..

[Nutty]

huh?! I tested them all on multiple machines.
Which link?

Try refreshing your cache.

You can save the MOV o[HPOS],R1; instruction if you use o[HPOS] instead of R1 in the projection.

If you want it - you'll find it.
You just need to know where to look... http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/wink.gif

[Nutty]

Thanks Relic!

I've made a few other changes too.
got the material colors used now, so it's not all one color, and fixed the outline texture.

I'll upload the new version today sometime.

i cant see there much of the win2k driver file..

[Nutty]

How bizarre.
I definitly put them up.

Either
a) they accidentally got deleted or
b) someone told my host to remove them.

I'm uploading them again now.

Hi Nutty !

Only nVidia would be interested in b) and I doubt they would prevent you from putting those drivers on your site (they are everywhere and, actually, we are interesting beta-testers for those 'leaked' drivers !).

You might have deleted them !

Regards.

Eric

[Nutty]

True, true.

Though I am certain I never removed them.
unless my web synchronizer went mad and did it. most probable cause.

Gonna have a go at porting the membrane thingy next.

[davepermen]

ok, downl. it, and not working.. it freezes the screen at starting anything in opengl..

[Nutty]

is that the win9x ones?

[Bruno]

The drivers don't work on my machine http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/frown.gif
It's a petty, i really would like to see your demos.,

Bruno

[davepermen]

no, i use the win2k ones..

[davepermen]

ok, i tried to use em.. http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/frown.gif

[Nutty]

what cpu and gfx card you got? sorry for sparse messages, Im typing this on my cable remote http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif

[Bruno]

An Athlon 800 ,64 Ram
with a Geforce2 MX 32Mb
Windows 98

I install the drivers just fine, and at restart windows complains that he cannot detect the video board, and uses 800x600x 16 colors.

Bruno

[Nutty]

ive not tested the 98 ones. ill try and test them at work monday.

[Bruno]

davepermen can't get to the site, so
his machine is a :

pentium 3 with 128 mb ram, and a geforce2 mx with 32mb

Bruno

[IronPeter]

These demos work pretty well on my Athlon+GF+Win98 computer.

[Elixer]

Don't know if this is of any help, since I don't got a Nvidia card to test at the moment, but if those drivers are full sets, then what you could do is just get the opengl driver files, and copy them to the system32 (or system) directory.

I do this all the time with new version of the openGL driver for my ATI Rage 128 card. (for example, ATI's openGL driver is called "atio2kaa.dll" (for win2k) atio9xaa.dll for win9x systems.) So I just copy it over and all is well. http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif

[richardve]

I've got the 7.17 drivers installed (from another place) and they work great!

Your demos run also great (nice work) on my PIII 500 with 128 MB SDRAM and a GeForce2 MX.

[mcraighead]

You can only safely copy over the OpenGL driver on Win9x (and then not all the time). On Win2K, it's usually impossible to replace the OpenGL driver without replacing the display driver.

Well the 2k ones work fine on my geforce 256. So it sounds like they dont like Geforce 2's much?

Anyone with a Geforce 2 managed to get them drivers/demos working?
