| Well I finally caved in and bought Blitz3D, and although it is quite oldish now, I am gobsmacked at its ease of use and power. I really cant understand why I never bought it earlier though :) It seems very stable, which I am really happy about. I am just hoping that it will survive a few more years ? And that support is continual, but so far it does seem that way. |
| ||
| Hope so, Microsoft keeps the downwards compatibility to DirectX 7 with Longhorn and further Windows-Products... Regards - Xaron |
| ||
| are you saying they do ? Or hope they do ? I have seen dx9 apps running on longhorn. |
| ||
| I say, I _hope_ they do. ;) Regards - Xaron |
| ||
| ah ok, I hope so too :) |
| ||
| Well, I think, Blitz3D will survive but doesn't get any major updates. As soon as BlitzMax gets its 3d-engine, I'll may be switch to that one. Regards - Xaron |
| ||
| Well i'm hoping the same way you guys hope they do. |
| ||
| All versions of DirectX is backwards compatible. It's one of it's features. I must admit Blitz3D is highly usable and stable. Don't go looking for fancy engine features. World of warcraft and Warcraft 3 are great examples of not so fancy engines running fantastic artwork :) |
| ||
| yeah, I am really chuffed I got it, now I am looking at the physics choices, I see there is jvODE and Tokamak, can any of you guys she some light on them ? Pros and Cons ? I am sure it comes down to best tool for the job, I see the one is free, while the other I have to pay for. I will try out the demo's tonight and see how that goes. Maybe I will like the one over the other :) As for gui's I cannot find BlitzUI anywhere, so I may have to shelve out for f-ui. |
| ||
| I think, both physic engines are good. I use Tokamak, it's very simple to use, quite fast, stable and free. Regards - Xaron |
| ||
| Try the X II lib or whatsitcalled. That's quite cool and free for non-commercial purposes IIRC :) |
| ||
| Good news is that B3D currently does work in Vista. (and I've seen a possible speed up) I was unable to get MAX to work, but its more than likely me not installing it properly :) Have fun with B3D :D |
| ||
| Thanks for the response guys :) Awsome that it works in Vista ! |
| ||
| Thanks Cygnus, that are good news! :) Regards - Xaron |
| ||
| yehoo!!!! yeah! |
