Dark Occlusion

Dark Occlusion is a real-time occlusion culling library for DarkBASIC Professional. It will exclude objects that are not visible for the camera because they are obscured by other objects. This way, less polygons have to be rendered and your game will run at a much faster speed. There is no need to pre-calculate anything, everything is setup and calculated in real-time.

With Dark Occlusion it is possible to create larger and more detailed scenes for your games. You can retrieve the visible objects in the screen, allowing you to check if enemies are in the screen or to perform calculations on the visible objects.

Features

• Easy to use - Dark Occlusion has over 50 easy to use commands to improve the speed of your games. All commands are fully documented.
• Object/Limb occlusion - Dark Occlusion will exclude objects that are not visible to the camera, but it can also exclude seperate limbs.
• Auto-updated dynamic objects - When an object is moved or rotated you won't have to tell Dark Occlusion to update it, this will all be done automatically.
• Fast object setup - Setting up objects is fast and can easily be done at runtime.
• Auto-creation of low-poly bounding models - Dark Occlusion uses low-poly models for faster calculations, these models can be custom made or you can let Dark Occlusion create a low-poly model automatically for you.
• Multi-threaded for maximum use of multi-core pc's - All the heavy calculations done by Dark Occlusion are handled by a seperate thread. This way your game will always run smooth.
• Fast and unlimited levels of detail - Adding level of detail to your objects will replace objects that are far away from the camera with low-detailed objects, allowing you to have more objects in your screen with less impact on the performance. Because Dark Occlusion will only update visible objects, the level of detail system is super fast.
• Add properties to your objects - A fast object-property system is included, allowing you to add custom properties to your objects and to retrieve them later.

The new dll version

Improved speed and easier to use with the new dll! No more code including, just install the dll and you are ready to use occlusion culling in all your projects. The large command set has been minimized to a few simple commands such as ‘Set Object Occlusion Culling’ to enable or disable occlusion culling for an object.
