3D Object Rendering Using an FPGA -- Episode 558

Rendering of 3D models is a computationally expensive task and often slow. With hardware customization and reprogrammable flexibility using FPGAs, highest performance can be achieved. So we are going to build customized hardware on a FPGA Cyclone IV E (DE0 nano board) to render 3D objects into images, and finally, display the rendered images on a monitor over VGA. I have used Verilog for the hardware implementation so that the code can be easily compiled for most FPGAs out there. Happy Rendering!

    shabaz i am keen to get the complete results too and also going through few boards which facilitates easy integration with micro-controllers... may be that will be a better and optimised step forward.

    There was no way to fit more than few triangles in this design. Though there are few little things in terms of floating point representation etc.which can be optimized in the code (which i realized afterwards…

    Indeed. Limited resources lead to optimized designs!

    Great project : )

    cstanton any way Surbhika can get a more powerful FPGA board from element14? This project really needs it, and I'm sure lots of people will learn loads from seeing the results!

    Perhaps a FPGA manufacturer would be interested to contribute?

    "any way Surbhika can get a more powerful FPGA board from element14?"

    I love this idea (I was kinda smitten when I saw the project itself to be honest). I'm sure we have something, do you think the challenge of working with limited resources works well? Or is there a particular board that you think it could go all the way on? Slight smile

    Oh thats awesome! Glad it wasn't just me!

    Regarding the board and particular FPGA, I'd be guessing, unfortunately. However, perhaps michaelkellett has some suggestions, I think think this topic needs his knowledge here!
