Well that was a nice surprise, having resigned myself to the fact that even though it was the 23rd today, the time difference between myself and Pacific time meant I would have to wait until 8pm tonight to upgrade to 2.3
But on awaking I found Josh had already sent the emails for upgrading .. Having today off means I can now spend it in its entirity "playing" ..
Leadwerks Editor 2.3, New forum, Blogs, gallery, file storage, customizable profiles, videos...
Who needs Christmas?
Hmm, well this is the first time I have ever had my own blog. Should be interesting, honestly I hope people are interested in what I am working on. Maybe this will be even more motivation for me to make awesome stuff and wow everyone. Haha or maybe not.
I did not expect this many upgrades over the weekend! I'm entering data as fast as I can.
Already I can see the private sections are a big improvement. It totally changes the feel of the forum. It feels like it's more our own area, instead of just a random bulletin board floating around in cyberspace. If that makes any sense.
First post in my leadwerks related blog... waiting like a kid on christmas eve night for the new editor.
now that I actually have a blog, I guess I will have to start actually producing something to put here... mostly I work on something, then get distracted by something else and never get back to finishing anything... but I have high hopes for december!
Well, this is our new community site. I've wanted something like this for a while, and finally found a way to do it. We've got blogs, a gallery, customizable profiles, and yes, a forum. I was unsuccessful in my attempt to migrate the data from PHPBB, so the old forum will be left intact as an archive. I really like this new system. It's not just a forum, it's a social netwerking site!
If you register an account and aren't able to access all the goodies, please be patient while I enter a
I recently asked one of my nieces who is currently doing media and photography courses at college to keep an eye open for some "Gnarly Wood" textures. She emailed with a few images she had remembered to take. I spent an hour or two playing with them and quickly knocked up a place holder model in 3DWS to try out the two textures I had made from the images:
I then placed the model in an island scene I had built to test post processing effects using an application I have written
After sorting my modeling pipeline, I found some resources for cloth to sculpt and still I have to read more about anatomy..
I'm teaching "Mustafa" for modeling and after about 2 months results seems good. really good! now he can model almost everything in lowest possible triangles count and create UVs for his models. I will post his last model "MP5" weapon later. here is also another good polite guy "Vahid" in our modelling team. he is a highpoly modeller and I wish I could make him mor

With the recent update (2.28) I decided to test out the ability now to have vegetation layers cast shadows, it certainly adds a great deal of depth.

This is my opinion of Windows 7. When I tried Vista, I immediately disliked it, but used it for eight months. At the end of that period I still disliked it for all the same reasons.

...and head over to www.dexsoft-games.com to buy the Northern vegetation pack. I don't care if you don't even need it, just give them money so they will continue making incredible media. This is the artistic savior independent developers have been waiting for.

This is basically a test of concepts in Leadwerks Engine using C++ after a few weeks of using it (and even less time coding in C++). Using mainly information learned from the online tutorials and help from the community on the Leadwerks forum.

I am working out the advanced logic and interaction by applying it to different problems. Messaging the way the original Quake engine was set up is pretty straightforward. Half-Life 2's input-output system is interesting, but requires an additional mechanism beyond the existing keyvalues system. Lua allows some really powerful stuff. You could enter a string in the property editor, and the script itself could execute this string! But if it's confusing for me, it's going to be really confusing fo
I finally found a good reason to upgrade the renderer to OpenGL3. This will allows MSAA with deferred lighting. It might possibly also yield some performance gains, but that is speculation. This will occur some time in 2010.
