StrmnNrmn’s Progress on the New Clipping Code

Daedalus 001

Last we heard, from StrmnNrmn, he has just figured out a new clipping code to take care of problems with speed and graphics. It involves breaking down triangles into smaller pieces before rendering them, slimming down the chances of the PSP discarding them.

Since the new clipping code is new, you could say that it’s still in the development stage. He’s been very busy doing some trial and error to get various matrix/vector routines and the transform and lighting (TnL) code working with the VFPU. Unfortunately, it seems that until he comes back from visiting his family over the weekend, further testing and updates will be put on hold. However, he leaves us with some very good news and documentation before leaving.

I’m seeing very good results so far. The TnL code is around 2-3 times as fast running through the VFPU compared to the CPU. This gives around a 0.5-1.0fps speedup in the various roms I’ve been testing.
