Hi Blitz3d Community.
If you missed our introduction then here it is http://blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=86061
We decided to inform you about some updates in Xors3d.
1) Ñoncatenation of some circumstances forced us to repair the collision system (CS) and it's in line with Blitz3d's CS.
2) We have written an article "Shaders in Xors3d. First steps". We hope it will help you to learn shaders and their use with Xors3d. You can download it here http://xors3d.com/depository/folder/49-docs-and-articles
3) A new particle system. Samples are coming soon.
4) New ports of Xors3d - for PureBasic and C#. They are unofficial, but we try to control the process of their development.
Port for PureBasic http://pb.xors3d.com
Port for C# http://cs.xors3d.com
The design of sites is a little bit modest :D but we'll modify it in a while.

Is multi-threading in the works? and will this be automatic?

What do you mean by "automatic multi-threading"?

Blitz3D doesn't support multi-threading, just wondering if there would be a way to incorporate it with the Xors engine and get it to work with Blitz3D?

What effects does Xors3D support without using external shaders?

At this moment only shader effects are supported. But we plan to add FFP effects (like FastExt).

I don't mean fixed function pipeline stuff. Perhaps I'm not using the correct technical term. I mean what effects are available using only internal shaders which are precompiled, don't have to be distributed or tweaked, but are already embedded into the engine.

Shadows and Deferred Render.
