      Image Generator Developer

      Developed Windows DirectX based Image Generator application for tank simulators.Image Generator sample movie can be found here; http://sii-inc.com/news.htm• Enhanced PC based Image Generator to use in ADNAN ground simulator project in Malaysia. IR and night vision displays, rain, snow animations added using Vertex and Pixel shaders. Symbology Generator re-written using SVG file format.• Developed PC based Image Generator, a 3D runtime engine using DirectX 9 SDK and Visual Studio, named SII Predator, used for SIBMAS Armored Vehicle Simulator in Malaysia. The system is based on Intel processors running Windows NT/2000. IG can render 3D database in real-time with at least 60 Hz. Many ground and air 3D models are updated using MultiGen-Creator tool.• Developed scene graph from scratch for Image Generator, which supports traditional simulation data formats such as Open Flight (MultiGen-Paradigm) for model generation, Terra Page (Terrex) for terrain generation, but also can support model packages including 3D Studio and other major 3D modeling tools. • Developed texture frame based animations for Image Generator, point sprite based particle systems, some pixel and vertex shaders, developed HUD (2D rendering) for reticles. • Wrote a threaded DLL for NDIS communication. IG communicates with other applications using NDIS Ethernet packets. • Debugged and modified HOST application, which is developed using Rational Rose Real-Time C++ IDE (enables writing programs using UML and C++).• Developed a voice communication application over TCP/IP network to simulate radio communication in simulator systems. It involves Vr-Link, ASIO sound driver, GSM compression.• Developed or implemented projects, which involves DIS (Distributed Interactive Simulation) using Vr-Link and Vr-Forces packages. Show less
