| What is the latest version of Blitz3D? |
| ||
| 1.98.. it is in the Account->product updates section |
| ||
| Ok... thanks! And thanks for telling me how to update! My old version was 1.64. |
| ||
| hi, will there be a new version in the future (v2.0)? cu |
| ||
| No. |
| ||
| WHAT? No Blitz3d V2?So this is the end of the line for b3d? or are we going to just get silly Version numbers like 1.9.45 I wouldn't mind if BMax had an official 3D engine, code compatible with Blitz, but it dosen't. I'd switch to that then. |
| ||
| It was said over a year ago that Blitz3D would no longer be updated. Since that time there has been a couple of revisions, but just bug fixes and some DXTC stuff that Tom did. Blitz3D is nearly five years old. They can only take it so far. |
| ||
| I never saw that... (Quiet crying in backround) Are they going to release a 3d engine for BMax then?Or is Mark pulling out of 3D? |
| ||
| Are they going to release a 3d engine for BMax then? I'd imagine so but I wouldn't expect it for a while yet. |

| Blitz123, et al Don't cry dude! B3D is a fabulous 3D game/simulation creation tool. It is not what you have, but what you do with it - check out some of the awesome projects which we have done and visit the portfolio page, can you spot the B3d projects? www.smartscreenuk.com Have faith in your own capabilities.

| What?... No more B3D??? I'm with Blitz123- (Quiet crying in backround) |
| ||
| Well, as I understood.. there won't be a blitz3d v2.00, so the software is still updated every now and then, with bugfixes, but there are no plans to upgrade it to another DirectX version. However, personally, I hope there will be an upgrade at some point, when DX7 support completely dissapears in Windows. |
| ||
| I can understand the desire for a DirectX9 or above version of Blitz3d but I'm sure , if this had been possible, it would have been done already given the enormous amount of uptake a product like that would have generated. It would probably have required a total rewrite which is what BRL did - BlitzMax. ( Don't forget MiniB3D - the unofficial but nonetheless excellent, alternative, native BlitzMax 3D module ) Making the language independant of a set graphics api was a good choice. If there was a DirectX9 Blitz3d we would now be requesting DirectX10 support :) |

| Right, anyone for b3d on Linux? ;-) |
