10 * The Problem
|
|
rlm@0
|
11 So you've made your cool new JMonkeyEngine3 game and you want to
|
|
rlm@0
|
12 create a demo video to show off your hard work. Screen capturing is
|
|
rlm@0
|
13 the most straightforward way to do this, but it can slow down your
|
|
rlm@0
|
14 game and produce low-quality video as a result. A better way is to
|
|
rlm@0
|
15 record a video feed directly from the game while it is
|
|
rlm@0
|
16 running.
|
|
rlm@0
|
17
|
|
rlm@0
|
18 In this post, I'll explain how you can alter your JMonkeyEngine3 game
|
|
rlm@0
|
19 to output video while it is running. The main trick is to alter the
|
|
rlm@0
|
20 pace of JMonkeyEngine3's in-game time: we allow the engine as much
|
|
rlm@0
|
21 time as it needs to compute complicated in-game events and to encode
|
|
rlm@0
|
22 video frames. As a result, the game appears to speed up and slow down
|
|
rlm@0
|
23 as the computational demands shift, but the end result is perfectly
|
|
rlm@0
|
24 smooth video output at a constant framerate.
|
|
rlm@0
|
25
|
|
rlm@0

|
|
rlm@0
|
27 * Game-time vs. User-time vs. Video-time
|
|
rlm@0
|
28
|
|
rlm@0
|
29 A standard JME3 application that extends =SimpleApplication= or
|
|
rlm@0
|
30 =Application= tries as hard as it can to keep in sync with
|
|
rlm@0
|
31 /user-time/. If a ball is rolling at 1 game-mile per game-hour in the
|
|
rlm@0
|
32 game, and you wait for one user-hour as measured by the clock on your
|
|
rlm@0
|
33 wall, then the ball should have traveled exactly one game-mile. In
|
|
rlm@0
|
34 order to keep sync with the real world, the game throttles its physics
|
|
rlm@0
|
35 engine and graphics display. If the computations involved in running
|
|
rlm@0
|
36 the game are too intense, then the game will first skip frames, then
|
|
rlm@0
|
37 sacrifice physics accuracy. If there are particuraly demanding
|
|
rlm@0
|
38 computations, then you may only get 1 fps, and the ball may tunnel
|
|
rlm@0
|
39 through the floor or obstacles due to inaccurate physics simulation,
|
|
rlm@0
|
40 but after the end of one user-hour, that ball will have traveled one
|
|
rlm@0
|
41 game-mile.
|
|
rlm@0
|
42
|
|
rlm@0
|
43 When we're recording video, we don't care if the game-time syncs with
|
|
rlm@0
|
44 user-time, but instead whether the time in the recorded video
|
|
rlm@0
|
45 (video-time) syncs with user-time. To continue the analogy, if we
|
|
rlm@0
|
46 recorded the ball rolling at 1 game-mile per game-hour and watched the
|
|
rlm@0
|
47 video later, we would want to see 30 fps video of the ball rolling at
|
|
rlm@0
|
48 1 video-mile per /user-hour/. It doesn't matter how much user-time it
|
|
rlm@0
|
49 took to simulate that hour of game-time to make the high-quality
|
|
rlm@0
|
50 recording.
|
|
rlm@0
|
51
|
|
rlm@0
|
52 * COMMENT Two examples to clarify the point:
|
|
rlm@0
|
53 ** Recording from a Simple Simulation
|
|
rlm@0
|
54
|
|
rlm@0
|
55 *** Without a Special Timer
|
|
rlm@0
|
56 You have a simulation of a ball rolling on an infinite empty plane at
|
|
rlm@0
|
57 one game-mile per game-hour, and a really good computer. Normally,
|
|
rlm@0
|
58 JME3 will throttle the physics engine and graphics display to sync the
|
|
rlm@0
|
59 game-time with user-time. If it takes one-thousandth of a second
|
|
rlm@0
|
60 user-time to simulate one-sixtieth of a second game time and another
|
|
rlm@0
|
61 one-thousandth of a second to draw to the screen, then JME3 will just
|
|
rlm@0
|
62 sit around for the remainder of $\frac{1}{60} - \frac{2}{1000}$
|
|
rlm@0
|
63 user-seconds, then calculate the next frame in $\frac{2}{1000}$
|
|
rlm@0
|
64 user-seconds, then wait, and so on. For every second of user time that
|
|
rlm@0
|
65 passes, one second of game-time passes, and the game will run at 60
|
|
rlm@0
|
66 frames per user-second.
|
|
rlm@0
|
67
|
|
rlm@0
|
68
|
|
rlm@0
|
69 *** With a Special Timer
|
|
rlm@0
|
70 Then, you change the game's timer so that user-time will be synced to
|
|
rlm@0
|
71 video-time. Assume that encoding a single frame takes 0 seconds
|
|
rlm@0
|
72 user-time to complete.
|
|
rlm@0
|
73
|
|
rlm@0
|
74 Now, JME3 takes advantage of all available resources. It still takes
|
|
rlm@0
|
75 one-thousandth of a second to calculate a physics tick, and another
|
|
rlm@0
|
76 one-thousandth to render to the screen. Then it takes 0 seconds to
|
|
rlm@0
|
77 write the video frame to disk and encode the video. In only one second
|
|
rlm@0
|
78 of user time, JME3 will complete 500 physics-tick/render/encode-video
|
|
rlm@0
|
79 cycles, and $\frac{500}{60}=8\frac{1}{3}$ seconds of game-time will
|
|
rlm@0
|
80 have passed. Game-time appears to dilate $8\frac{1}{3}\times$ with
|
|
rlm@0
|
81 respect to user-time, and in only 7.2 minutes user-time, one hour of
|
|
rlm@0
|
82 video will have been recorded. The game itself will run at 500 fps.
|
|
rlm@0
|
83 When someone watches the video, they will see 60 frames per
|
|
rlm@0
|
84 user-second, and $\frac{1}{60}$ video-seconds will pass each frame. It
|
|
rlm@0
|
85 will take exactly one hour user-time (and one hour video-time) for the
|
|
rlm@0
|
86 ball in the video to travel one video-mile.
|
|
rlm@0
|
87
|
|
rlm@0
|
88 ** Recording from a Complex Simulation
|
|
rlm@0
|
89
|
|
rlm@0
|
90 *** Without a Special Timer
|
|
rlm@0
|
91 You have a simulation of a ball rolling on an infinite empty plane at
|
|
rlm@0
|
92 one game-mile per game-hour accompanied by multiple explosions
|
|
rlm@0
|
93 involving thousands of nodes, particle effects, and complicated shadow
|
|
rlm@0
|
94 shaders to create realistic shadows. You also have a slow
|
|
rlm@0
|
95 laptop. Normally, JME3 must sacrifice rendering and physics simulation
|
|
rlm@0
|
96 to try to keep up. If it takes $\frac{1}{120}$ of a user-second to
|
|
rlm@0
|
97 calculate $\frac{1}{60}$ game-seconds, and an additional
|
|
rlm@0
|
98 $\frac{1}{60}$ of a user-second to render to screen, then JME3 has
|
|
rlm@0
|
99 it's work cut out for it. In order to render to the screen, it will
|
|
rlm@0
|
100 first step the game forward by up to four physics ticks before
|
|
rlm@0
|
101 rendering to the screen. If it still isn't fast enough then it will
|
|
rlm@0
|
102 decrease the accuracy of the physics engine until game-time and user
|
|
rlm@0
|
103 time are synched or a certain threshold is reached, at which point the
|
|
rlm@0
|
104 game visibly slows down. In this case, JME3 continuously repeat a
|
|
rlm@0
|
105 cycle of two physics ticks, and one screen render. For every
|
|
rlm@0
|
106 user-second that passes, one game-second will pass, but the game will
|
|
rlm@0
|
107 run at 30 fps instead of 60 fps like before.
|
|
rlm@0
|
108
|
|
rlm@0
|
109 *** With a Special Timer
|
|
rlm@0
|
110 Then, you change the game's timer so that user-time will be synced to
|
|
rlm@0
|
111 video-time. Once again, assume video encoding takes $\frac{1}{60}$ of
|
|
rlm@0
|
112 a user-second.
|
|
rlm@0
|
113
|
|
rlm@0
|
114 Now, JME3 will spend $\frac{1}{120}$ of a user-second to step the
|
|
rlm@0
|
115 physics tick $\frac{1}{60}$ game-seconds, $\frac{1}{60}$ to draw to
|
|
rlm@0
|
116 the screen, and an additional $\frac{1}{60}$ to encode the video and
|
|
rlm@0
|
117 write the frame to disk. This is a total of $\frac{1}{24}$
|
|
rlm@0
|
118 user-seconds for each $\frac{1}{60}$ game-seconds. It will take
|
|
rlm@0
|
119 $(\frac{60}{24} = 2.5)$ user-hours to record one game-hour and game-time
|
|
rlm@0
|
120 will appear to flow two-fifths as fast as user time while the game is
|
|
rlm@0
|
121 running. However, just as in example one, when all is said and done we
|
|
rlm@0
|
122 will have an hour long video at 60 fps.

139 * =IsoTimer= records time like a metronome
|
|
rlm@0
|
140
|
|
rlm@0
|
141 The easiest way to achieve this special timing is to create a new
|
|
rlm@0
|
142 timer that always reports the same framerate to JME3 every time it is
|
|
rlm@0
|
143 called.
|
|
rlm@0
|
144
|
|
rlm@0
|
145
|
|
rlm@0
|
146 =./jme3/src/core/com/jme3/system/IsoTimer.java=
|
|
rlm@0
|
147 #+include ./jme3/src/core/com/jme3/system/IsoTimer.java src java
|
|
rlm@0
|
148
|
|
rlm@0
|
149 If an Application uses this =IsoTimer= instead of the normal one, we
|
|
rlm@0
|
150 can be sure that every call to =simpleUpdate=, for example, corresponds
|
|
rlm@0
|
151 to exactly $(\frac{1}{fps})$ seconds of game-time.
|
|
rlm@0
|
152
|
|
rlm@0
|
153 In order to facilitate setting the =Timer= in user code, I added
|
|
rlm@0
|
154 getter and setter methods to =Application.java=.
|
|
rlm@0
|
155
|
|
rlm@0
|
156 In =./jme3/src/core/com/jme3/app/Application.java= I added:
|
|
rlm@0
|
157 #+include ./jme3/src/core/com/jme3/app/Application.java src java :lines "340-356"
|
|
rlm@0
|
158
|
|
rlm@0
|
159 * Encoding to Video
|
|
rlm@0
|
160
|
|
rlm@0
|
161 Now that the issue of time is solved, we just need a function that
|
|
rlm@0
|
162 writes each frame to a video. We can put this function somewhere
|
|
rlm@0
|
163 where it will be called exactly one per frame.
|
|
rlm@0
|
164
|
|
rlm@0
|
165 JME3 already provides exactly the class we need: the =SceneProcessor=
|
|
rlm@0
|
166 class can be attached to any viewport and the methods defined therein
|
|
rlm@0
|
167 will be called at the appropriate points in the rendering process.
|
|
rlm@0
|
168
|
|
rlm@0
|
169 If you want to generate video from Java, a great option is [[http://www.xuggle.com/][Xuggle]]. It
|
|
rlm@0
|
170 takes care of everything related to video encoding and decoding and
|
|
rlm@0
|
171 runs on Windows, Linux and Mac. Out of all the video frameworks for
|
|
rlm@0
|
172 Java I personally like this one the best.
|
|
rlm@0
|
173
|
|
rlm@0
|
174 Here is a =SceneProcessor= that uses [[http://www.xuggle.com/][Xuggle]] to write each frame to a
|
|
rlm@0
|
175 video file.

220 * Summary
|
|
rlm@0
|
221 It's quite easy to augment your own application to record video,
|
|
rlm@0
|
222 almost regardless of how complicated the actual application is. You
|
|
rlm@0
|
223 can also record from multiple ViewPorts as the above example shows.
|
|
rlm@0
|
224
|
|
rlm@0
|
225 The process for adding video recording to your application is as
|
|
rlm@0
|
226 follows:
|
|
rlm@0
|
227
|
|
rlm@0
|
228 Assuming you want to record at 30 fps, add:
|
|
rlm@0
|
229
|
|
rlm@0
|
230 #+begin_src java :exports code
|
|
rlm@0
|
231 this.setTimer(new IsoTimer(30));
|
|
rlm@0
|
232 #+end_src
|
|
rlm@0
|
233
|
|
rlm@0
|
234 Somewhere in the initialization of your Application. Right now, you
|
|
rlm@0
|
235 will have to add the =setTimer= method to =Application=, but hopefully
|
|
rlm@0
|
236 this method will be included soon by the JMonkeyEngine3 team.
|
|
rlm@0
|
237
|
|
rlm@0
|
238 Then, you create a =VideoProcessor= object and attach it to the
|
|
rlm@0
|
239 =ViewPort= from which you want to record.
|
|
rlm@0
|
240
|
|
rlm@0
|
241 If you want to record from the game's main =ViewPort= to a file called
|
|
rlm@0
|
242 =/home/r/record.flv=, then add:
|
|
rlm@0
|
243
|
|
rlm@0
|
244 #+begin_src java :exports code
|
|
rlm@0
|
245 viewPort.addProcessor(new VideoProcessor(new File("/home/r/record.flv")));
|
|
rlm@0
|
246 #+end_src
|
|
rlm@0
|
247
|
|
rlm@0
|
248 Do this for each =ViewPort= from which you want to record. The more
|
|
rlm@0
|
249 ViewPorts from which you record, the slower the game will run, but
|
|
rlm@0
|
250 this slowness will not affect the final video output.
|
|
rlm@0
|
251
|
|
rlm@0
|
252 * More Examples
|
|
rlm@0
|
253 ** Hello Physics
|
|
rlm@0
|
254 =HelloVideo= is boring. Let's add some video capturing to =HelloPhysics=
|
|
rlm@0
|
255 and create something fun!
|
|
rlm@0
|
256
|
|
rlm@0
|
257 This example is a modified version of =HelloPhysics= that creates four
|
|
rlm@0
|
258 simultaneous views of the same scene of cannonballs careening into a
|
|
rlm@0
|
259 brick wall.
