Comment on dynamic soft shadows in 2D by Christian

David: It's equivalent to this C++ code:

for (size_t i = rightpenumbra.sections.size() - 1; i < blockerLine.size() - leftpenumbra.sections.size() + 1; ++i) {

    Vert &vert = blockerLine[i];

    umbra.sections.push_back(Umbra::Section(vert, extendDir(0.5 * (leftpenumbra.sections.last().direction + rightpenumbra.sections.last().direction)));

}

Hi, great tutorial.
But I’m having some troubles converting it to C++.

Would you mind converting this line to me, I can’t understand the loop, begins where and finishes where?

foreach(ref vert; blockerLine[rightpenumbra.sections.length-1..$-leftpenumbra.sections.length+1])
umbra.sections ~= Umbra.Section(vert, extendDir(0.5 * (leftpenumbra.sections[$-1].direction + rightpenumbra.sections[$-1].direction)));

I’m also having some troubles on other parts but for now this would help a bunch. I’ve placed my email on the form.
Thanks

While I’m no longer actively contributing to LDC, it’s not totally abandoned. The repository has moved though: http://bitbucket.org/lindquist/ldc

Will the development of LDC be continued? This is the project I need to switch to D – a good, reliable compiler that not only “is”, but also notices the existence of such things, as 64-bit platforms + a good standard library on board. It’s quite sad that nothing has happened in the repository for the last months…

Cool stuff, any chance to download c++ code for it?

Christian: Thx for the reply :). Dont worry, i got it working just enough to achieve what i want.

Thank you. Your sample codes really helped me in trying to achieve the effect. I would have no idea how/where to start by just reading orangy’s article.

Cheers :)

Jim: While porting the prototype can be a fun exercise, a lot has changed in the last years. You could probably achieve the same effect much more efficiently on modern graphics cards.

Unfortunately I don’t have the time to help debug your problem. Start small, build things step by step and test everything along the way.

Garrison: You’re right, I’ve fixed _Unwind_Action. In addition, HANDLER_PHASE should actually have been HANDLER_FRAME. Check http://www.dsource.org/projects/ldc/changeset/1597%3A761bf823e59e .
