Thanks Fred for all you hard work in the 3D area! I am really looking forward to seeing the new 3d commands mature. This is something i am extremely looking forward too
. NICE ONE!--Kale
New to PureBasic and falling in Love!

You want to be a cool scener - but you cant.

Fred has enough to do already.
If he had to write his own 3D LIB in asm/C/C++ - and work the same time on the PureBasic core by himself - he wouldn't be finished in a view years.
BTW: Fred thanks again for your hard work.
Have a nice day...

I was on a small trip (4 days only) through

After some time i started to read the english

messages, so i couldnt resist.
Please forgive me... again.
After some thinking about it i now started PC
again and wanted to delete my todays postings
and better leave this forum before i start a war
against a kid.
We´ll see... maybe its time to go another way...

Just search the web, download it and place it where windows searchs for it. If you did not found this I could send you this DLL.

As a BB3D, DB, DBPRO owner (as well as PB obviously) I welcome any 3D features in PB. Out of these only PB is stable, fast, fully featured, pro-actively supported, extensible and, for me anyway, being ported to Linux. The others lack in ways I won't specify here so as to avoid the wars. I am disappointed in what has been provided in this release BUT it's no problem, or rather it's my problem for being impatient. I've seen enough to trust that Fred will deliver the goods and then some... just don't take too long about it
One question to Fred though is why Ogre? I admit it looks promising but other (L)GPL'ed x-platform alternatives appear (to me) to be much more mature. OpenSceneGraph would have been my choice but then I don't know what your criteria is/was. Just food for thought.
Re OGL - dead? unsupported? Ho hum, many four letter words come to mind which I won't repeat here. Being the industry standard and supported across many platforms it is difficult to see how anyone could think it's dead. I won't go any further here as in my mind there is no worthwhile ogl/directx debate.
Re 64k demo's/ intros: I'm also continuously amazed at the content and production of these. I have been a fan of them for many years and view them as the best defence against anyone claiming programming is not an art. However I know that a lot of prior knowledge and skill is required, both creative and technical, and some serious programming time. I have done a lot of assembly programming in the past (it isn't that difficult) and programmed in more so called "serious" languages than I care to remember. Sometimes I even get twinges of embarrassment that I keep coming back to BASIC languages such as PB, but then I remember why: I like programming but I like the results so much more! And getting the results as fast as possible is important to me, even if it costs me a few extra bytes. I'm forever on the quest for the "perfect" language, combining ease-of-development, speed, features and flexibility (let's not forget cost!). PB isn't it but it's definately getting there and, forgetting 3D for the moment, it's well ahead of the rest. BTW if you are interested in learning assemmbly or just want to see it's use for anything other than 3D visit Steve Gibson at http://grc.com. Steves a wizard if ever I saw one.
PS: did I mention OpenSceneGraph, oh I did, well I'll mention it again See http://www.openscenegraph.org

And it's obviously fred will enhance and optimize the 3D engine in the near future, what I want nore is actually Half-Life BSP support, not Q3.
I did tried to compile the Genesis3D against VC++ as DLL, but no much working, otherwise Genesis3D has most elements a cool 3D engine should have.
Well, everyone needs to do something for living.

I see a synergy between Purebasic and BlitzBasic3D from a coders
point of view. I've purchased both PB and B3D, but for different
reasons. PB can do inline assembly, B3D integrates with DirectX.
Look, M$ puts a lot of $$$ into DirectX development so why not use
it? If you're looking for market share in the gaming industry, face
it, M$ holds the biggest piece of the pie in desktop apps. That's
where I want to be, making money!
Don't get me wrong, OGL is alive and kicking, just ask NVidia or ATI,
etc. I come from a Un*x background, coding in C/C++ and OGL. But, I would
rather spend my less-than-free-time creating a game than sweating C/C++
code semantics and bugs. If you've ever tried using compilers like MinGW (
which incidentally is a great port of the gcc compiler) to produce WinDoze
executables, you'd see why PB and B3D are such a boon.
I see using B3D for what's good for, and PB for building .dll's and
incorporating asm. As a matter of fact, there is a posting on one of the
B3D sites demostrating just that, B3D callng a .dll made by PB.
I'm sure, that in the fullness of time, that the PB team will
incorporate more Ogre and OGL features to satisfy game coders who wish
to use them.
Just my 2 cents worth...

I would like to see both PB and Ogre ported to MacOS X as well
(after all, it's based on FreeBSD and vey similar to Linux).
If that porting could be accomplished, game developers would have
three markets to sell into, using OpenGL, or DirectX (using
WINE on Linux, or emulation on OS X for DX compatibility).
And maybe it's truly a wishlist thing, but consider consoles like
the XBox... 8^)
