| ..hi guys..some time im working on my Horde3D wrapper, but its not yet completed..however, since im developing my game content at same time, im getting short with my deadline and i think i cant pull it off both in order to make something usable...so, i wanted to know, is there any available 3D renderer for BMax with next features (free/comercial, i dont care): -load and use of B3D geometry (animated/static) -relatively modern features (shadowmaps, bumpspecular...) -PC/MAC (mac is not necessity at the moment) -physics -GUI/HUD lib I dont mind to purchase any of additional libs(physics, GUI..etc..) Thank you in advance.. |

| theres a 3d engine thread a couple of threads up :). Personally I think b3d is a waste of time in a modern engine, too many things need to be calculated at runtime or added to the shader to get get a lot of shaders to work efficiently. Binormal, tangent data, LOD etc. Though I do believe irrlicht has fairly decent support for it. Don't know what leadwerks uses. Best we can offer in Flow is B3dtoOgre or unwrap3D to ogre if you have unwrap. Both load b3d's and save to ogre XML which requires a drag and drop util to convert to binary mesh files. |

| After looking at the pics and models of NA's game, I would think anybody with an engine would be proud to be able to say NA used their engine. So, I would think giving him an early beta to implement it would be worthwhile. :) |

| The beta version of flow has been out for a couple of weeks now along with the editor. Flow3D http://www.flow3d.org/FlowBeta.rar FlowED http://www.flow3d.org/FlowED.exe Migrating from Blitz3D http://flow3d.org/wiki/index.php5?title=Migrating_from_Blitz3d Geometry Exporters http://flow3d.org/wiki/index.php5?title=Ogre_Exporters GUI editing tools http://flow3d.org/wiki/index.php5?title=GUI_tools ... Btw you reminded me, I should probably mention how to convert b3d's to ogre in that migrating from blitz3d to ogre page :) The Flow forums are at: http://www.flow3d.org/forum/ if you need to ask any specific questions. |
