Senseflare 3D(Developmentpack) - Free v1.0 BETA

[DarkDragon]

Hello,

I am programming about 1/3 of my life(5 years) on this developmentpack(with learning the 3D things). And now I want to see what you think how it will get in future:





You can't see the leveleditor in action now.

Setup.exe(very easy with uninstaller, too):http://www.senseflare.com/downloads/Setup.exe
Zip File(harder to know how to install and you need glwrapper lib from purearea.net):http://www.senseflare.com/downloads/demo.zip

Website:http://www.senseflare.com/

I know there are many BUGS, but it is just a beta version, and I am working on it hardly, whenever I have time. And I know the website isn't the best.

TheFool made an example: http://www.senseflare.com/downloads/smileybox.zip

Thanks to: traumatic(glWrapper), Danilo(first advices a few years ago), thefool(beta testing and making un-/installer and example and mental aid), robink(beta testing and mental aid), Franky+glubschi(mental aid) and the pb community.

It would be also nice if the community would get a bit bigger.

AND UPDATE THE GFX CARD DRIVER BEFORE TESTING

Please tell me if you like it, and also tell me about bugs, suggestions etc.

Try it!

A lot of work has been put in it, and i think its beginning to look like something!

Try and post your comments, suggestions etc.

Hi,

I have tried it.......and have suggestions and problems

Suggestions:-

Add converters into the mesh editor.
More converters!, especially Wings3D which I think is the easiest modeller to use for beginners and experts!
Mesh editor isn't very intuitive, what about popup menus ?
3d view appears to have no light source to help to see the object... it's flat ?! also doesn't appear to have zoom ?!
Appears to be no multiple vertex or triangle select ?!
More primitives!
Extruding!
Lack of a help file!

Problem:-

Viking example exe just sits there ? I'm sure it should rotate!, might be my grafix card though!....... the .pb file does compile though!

All in all, a good start !

I'd like to try to use this as OGRE isn't implemented in PB as yet, but it seems too hard to work it all out

If the mesh editor worked like Wings3D (which is very intuitive IMHO) it would be much easier to get to grips with.

It could be my lack of understanding though and lack of decent documentation!

Hey, thx for testing
You're right, there is no good documentation for the MeshEditor. Well, for multiselecting hold the Shift key and click on the vertices/triangles. If you want to edit Vertices open the Tab "Vertices" of the Panelgadget at the right. If you want to edit Triangles, open the Tab "Triangles". In the 3D View you must zoom via Up/Down key(Control it like a walkthrough). I will make a plugin function into the mesheditor and I also thought of the Extruding function, but I am too stupid for that . I think Wings3D is very hard to use. I use MED for modelling(see 3DGameStudio).

If you have any questions you can contact me . I will answer as fast as I can and I am working on a better documentation and bugfixes.

wings 3d: export as OBJ and use obj converter
