I say that, coming soon

OK, I will wait for it.

We modified the code of Dreamotion3D to adapt itself better in old video card.
You can dowload and try the last version, and see if it run better...

No, it doesn't. My PC still reboot after launching "Install.EXE".

Try this, and say me what's happen ?

Any news on whats going on, or when to expect the next update on the 3d renderer or even the physics lib?

Still doesn't work on my older card..... is there a memory requirement for the 3d card ?

Aldo the zip you posted gives a memory access violation

Still works great on my 7950GTX though

There is an update of the engine almost every week, we work a lot.
The physical module will be updated certainly this summer.

Still works.

Hi tymke

First:

Very nice website!

Second:

I registered online and downloaded everything in the PureBasic list.

I extracted from the dreammotion rar. I see lots of files, including an install.exe

Now some silly questions:

The install does what, and where?

The install is looking for a folder - is this folder the PureBasic folder or will any folder do?

When you cancel the install it says "impossible to install the dll" (or something similar) ..
.. it then does something and says "Installation successful" (or similar) ..
.. Do I need to hunt down some files installed in weird places and if so, which files and where?

BTW, with all the files already extracted can't they just be used? Is there a need to install?

Thanks!

From your website the package looks good.

** Now all I need is some software that magically turns me into an ace 3D artist (or even a poor 3D artist that at least knows how to create a 3D model). Anybody know of a place where I can update my brain with a "3d-guru" implant? **

install DLL in the 'compiles' folder of PureBasic.
and a 'Dreamotion3D' folder with samples, include, media and doc.

folder the PureBasic, it's better ( we need compilers folder for DLL)

The program of instalation will be improved soon, for better a flexibility.
You can install the files manually if you wish it.

Hi tymke

Thanks for the quick response!

(And sorry for the silly questions)
