| Hi I downloaded the b+ demo and wrote this awesome 3d engine for it, all written in b+! It is like a cross between open gl like commands and blitz 3d. The downer is it lacks alpha and textures which could probably easily be added but would make it slower. I have a simple cube demo and the include included. no pun intended also, there are no dlls or decels required edit: I forgot to mention that since it is not hardware accelerated, it can probably only go 30 fps in a low poly environment. sorry for this inconvenience but you can render to an image buffer and only render once every other frame if you must have 60 fps I would be interested to see what this community can do with this as I cannot do much myself... Ill try to make a little game though :P edit: oops I think the transform command should be translate :p download: http://naillproductions.synthasite.com/resources/ntg3d_game_example.zip enjoy 3d in a totally 2d environment :) |

| Hey pretty cool, I'd like to see it implemented in some sort of game. |
| ||
| Hey sauer Im working on an entity system and I corrected my rotation formulas and camera zoom so everything is fixed visually. this is way faster than I expected for a non hardware accelerated 3d |
| ||
| continued here there's your game sauer! :) its simple but effective http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=84006 |

| Cool! Next step: create an import mesh function. After all, that's all a mesh is... a collection of triangles. |
| ||
| Yeah.. does anyone know the format for .b3d or .md2 or .x or .3ds? |
| ||
| B3D Format |
| ||
| I have tried the b3d format but I just cant seem to get a program to import it properly.. ill search the code arcs for some import code |
| ||
| You could use blender waveform obj format, its just a text file list of tri's... that's what I'm using for my raytracer I'm working on. |
| ||
| thanks that looks a lot easier than any other 3d format. |

| Hey nate... thats great! :) Makes me want to do a remake of a spaceship game that I cannot recall the name of now but I played it on the Archimedes at school some 16 years ago and it involved a little spaceship you controlled with the mouse and the LMB controlled the firing and the RMB controlled the thrust... *Breathes* Anyhoo, nice job that, and pretty smooth too! :) Dabz |

| Anyhoo, nice job that, and pretty smooth too! :) yeah I was really surprised too when I saw how fast it was considering it is completely 2d. textures would be nice but they would slow it down to an unusable state :p so would alpha |

| spaceship game that I cannot recall the name of now but I played it on the Archimedes at school some 16 years ago and it involved a little spaceship you controlled with the mouse and the LMB controlled the firing and the RMB controlled the thrust... I believe on the Archimedes it was called "Zarch", and when ported to other machines (eg Amiga) it was called "Virus". |
| ||
| Thats the fella! :) Dabz |
| ||
| Sorry to take this a lil further off-topic, but HERE is a link to some stuff by Stevie Goodwin, including a couple of versions of Zarch (aka Z_Virus) including Blitz source. Might be of some interest. |
| ||
| I love software renderers but can't seem to get to the site. Any chance of someone posting it elsewhere, if Nate agrees? |
| ||
| hmm thats odd... ill have to check up on it Ill just put it in the code arcs :) edit: fixed the link! |
| ||
| fixed the link! That did it. Yeah, good work -- runs well too! |
