[SOLVED] Enabling double precision


photo

Recommended Posts

Hi all! I am new to unigine and am playing around with it. I am in the process of enabling the double precision system with the scratch project. Using this link as a guide:

https://developer.unigine.com/en/docs/1.0/code/environment/double_precision,

I copied the lib/double_precision into the lib folder, this didn't work. I also copied the lib/double_precision into the scratch/bin folder, and this didn't work. Any advice on getting this to work?

Also, when enabling the double precision, does camera space (ie camera relative objects) enable itself by default? And, last one, do you enable the use of a logarithmic depth buffer in shaders (this was our last solution to large worlds in shaders, http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/BranoKemen/20090812/2725/Logarithmic_Depth_Buffer.php)?

Thank you in advance for the help!

Devlog - Support of huge worlds

 

July 21, 2011

 

From now on Unigine can handle as large worlds as required. In addition to effective data streaming the engine supports double precision of coordinates instead of float data type.

It's possible to create virtually unlimited worlds with the highest level of details (maximum coordinates are effectively 536,870,912 times larger). If a single precision world compares to an Earth range, double precision allows to create the whole Solar System and beyond. This feature can be very helpful for some VR/simulation applications, e.g. for flight simulators.

World management:

  • Added support of double precision coordinates (requires replacing standard engine libraries with special ones; use "scons double=1" to rebuild).
  • All objects are rendered in camera space.
  • All nodes works in relative space.

I haven't done this, would this enable the double precision? I am not sure how to do this.

This is just required for building double precision libs from source code. In your case replacing the libs with the pre-build ones from double-precision sub-folder should do the trick. How do you check that following the instructions does not work ? Within the log.html file in your <sdk-root>/bin folder) there should be a 'Features' log entry at the beginning stating double precision support

Just re-copy the double-precision libs and than try to start from the demo-folder e.g. sanctuary_d3d9/10.bat and than check log.html in your bin folder. I just did that for testing and it worked without problems. If unsuccesful post your log.html file

I was checking in game with the console, and the log.html file. I coppied from <root>/lib/double_precision to <root>/lib. Ran the <root>/demos/sanctuary_d3d9.bat, checked the console and the output, still the same. Would it make a difference if I was an evaluation client?

I wouldn't expect this. Quite strange, maybe there is some path problem. You could check your windows PATH and UNIGINE_DIR settings and make sure that they point to the right folders. Othterwise you will have to wait for some UNIGINE support.

Link to comment

UNIGINE_DIR = c:\Unigine Evalualtion Kit

PATH = c:\Unigine Evaluation Kit\bin;c:\Unigine Evaluation Kit\lib;c:\Unigine Evaluation Kit\externs\bin;;c:\Unigine Evaluation Kit\bin;c:\Unigine Evaluation Kit\lib;c:\Unigine Evaluation Kit\externs\bin

 

I also checked system_32 to see if they might be in there.. they aren't. I agree, this is quite strange. I tried to remove the dll's, and I do get an error. I wonder if the release I have is using single precision in both folders (ie, dev mistake putting them there)?

Sorry, it seems double precision libs in the Evaluation pack are actually single precision ones. Thanlk you for pointing that out. We'll fix it with the next update.

 

After that enabling double precision coordinates for Scratch project is very simple:

  1. Copy Unigine_x86d.dll (as well as Unigine_x86.dll and 64-bit versions) from lib\double_precision into scratch\bin (Scratch project stores all its resources separately). First, the engine will check libraries stored in the same folder as binary executable, if they are not found there, it will search in the lib folder.
  2. The second step is to modify the code to support double precision coordinates (or both single and double variants). In the level1.cpp you'll find a function that sets camera position (camera.setPosition()). It takes either vec3 (in case of single precision) or dvec3 (double precision). By default it is vec3, which will cause an error as double precision libraries are used.

1st variant is to support double precision only:

 

 

camera.setPosition(dvec3(2.0f,0.0f,1.5f));

2nd variant is to support both single and double precision:

 

//required to define Vec3 data type
#include <core/unigine.h>
...
camera.setPosition(Vec3(2.0f,0.0f,1.5f));

I don't think you put the double precision libs in the evaluation pack. I tried to enable it again, and nothing.

 

In the step 1:

 

1. Copy Unigine_x86d.dll (as well as Unigine_x86.dll and 64-bit versions) from lib\double_precision into scratch\bin (Scratch project stores all its resources separately).

 

you should actually replace the existing libraries with libraries from lib\double_precision

Did that; when I tested it, it was on the samples and the scratch project. I am working with the evaluation pack, if this makes any difference. I re-downloaded and installed, same issue.

hah, no worries. I program for a living and I know how easy it is to miss small stuff like that; much to the chagrin of my boss, who swears I am the worlds worse programmer...
