OK, thanks for the info Frédéric!

I dont know your plans with the 3D stuff in PureBasic, Frédéric -
looks like the 3D engine stuff hasnt changed in 1,5 years...

If you want to continue to add more stuff to it one day, it would
be nice to get the functions for adding mesh anims by hand.
Better light control functions (light type: pyramid,cube,spot,...),
more low level particle control stuff, enumerating entity anims
and finally collision detection...

With some enhancements to the small engine, users could write
more stuff themself (mesh+world+terrain loader/saver, particle editors
for wind/rain/etc..) and begin to write real stuff with 3D in PB.
Hundred 3D games are waiting to be written with PureBasic, like
in Blitz3D (see http://www.blitzbasic.com/gallery/gallery.php ).

Do you have a time plan for updating the 3D engine (to newer
OGRE version) and for adding more control functions, Frédéric?

PB3D still crashes for many peoples on startup (VC++ runtime error),
maybe this goes away with newer version of the OGRE engine.

BTW: Maybe you can implement the MS3D loader (with anim support)
directly in the 3D engine? Also mesh/entity saving would be nice
for creating 3D modelers (GetMeshData or something).

Much work to do... thanks for listening

I've got the official stable release and compiled it, now it need to be patched for PureBasic. Once I will have released v3.91 for linux and windows I will release and update for the 3DEngine.
