Nice looking Engine Yak32! How's the progress coming along with it?
thanks!
Actually remaining is last 5% - most hard thing for every project - polishing and closing all bugs. I just can't release unfinished thing.
Currently I am developing Iron Cube game, based on the engine and ported engine to Android and Google NACL. Iron Cube will be available on Android very soon.
where can i download it? went to the site and can't find it. can it do 3rd person games (using it to make a series of games (Guard Squad) what is the difference between the free versions and the other ones.
what can it import: 3ds, MD5, FBX
what can the node editor do? can you make a game with out a single line of code and
can you put a plugin for Visual Basic script please.....
import: 3ds, obj, fbx currently
script: lua script
yes, it's possible to make game without line of native code, but you need script, it's simple. I will think about VBscript support, possible by Mono.
Download will be available soon.
Another question, does Glow3d use fbx, or dae, what are the model/animation capabilities of the engine
It parses fbx, obj and 3ds formats currently. Skeleton animation can be opened from fbx, node animations can be loaded from fbx or created in the editor.
When is this engine going to be released? Is it free, open source or do you have to pay?
we planned to release alpha version at May, but it slightly delayed. 3 options will be available: free version, professional with small fee and full.
hey very impressive engine you have made there are only very much particles (amostspheric) yet when you move around, as in the first video you can see the background particles move also wich is a bit irritating to the eyes, hope you will fix this with antialiasing ?, buffering ? post blabla effects ? nice work though
thanks! particles at the beginning of video Deadly light? Maybe video rendering issue or anti aliasing... anyway it's from old tech demo, 2 years old. We're preparing new videos with new effects and it will be available soon.
