We are very happy to present you a very first pre-alpha version of our 2D physically based rendering engine, which you can try by yourself.
In the download link below you will find the following things:
- The UB2D library (UB2D_d.dll) as a in a 32-bit version with included engine debugger.
- The UB2D library (UB2D.dll) as a in a 32-bit release version (without debugger).
- The pure basic include file (UB2D.pbi) with all constants, structures and procedures loaded by OpenLibrary().
This include automatically imports all functions from the respective DLL file depending on the mode (with or w/o debugger).
- A folder with some examples and media files for the features of our engine.
- The font editor (wich you probably knows from my Typeface module) in the tools folder.
Download: UB2D_PreAlpha_0026_2018-11-07.zip
Download: UB2D_PreAlpha_0027_2018-11-09.zip

Even if we haven't a complete documentation for all functions of our engine, we hope you will enjoy this pre-release of our engine.
We would be happy about any feedback from you.
Greetings STARGÅTE and Artus from UnionBytes

UB2D_DisplayText(0, 20, 20, "F1: Open Engine Control!", $FFFFFFFF)
UB2D_DisplayText(0, 20, 40, "Right mouse butten (RMB) + move mouse in x and y direction: Rotate mesh!", $FFFFFFFF)
Works not like shown on your screenshot (All text on the same line on my machine)

Hi IceSoft,
do you have a ATI or Intel graphic card?
The Problem is, wie dont have a ATI graphic card, so we test only on nvidia. Please give us some Information about your System, especially the graphic card.
After my experience with UBE, Nvidia is much more comfortable with error handling and is not that sensitive.
PS. Thans for the Bug report.

Ok, unfortunately we can afford another system with ATI graphic card and intel GPU, so is hard for us to find the bug.
When im back from work, i will chek the code. Maybe i can guess the reason ^^

I'm on linux so can't test, but looks great. The GUI looks delicious

<edit>oh, that's blender?

@Kwai chang caine
Which graphic card do you have? Does it support openGL 3.3?
@#NULL
Yes, it's Blender^^ this are the Blender export settings for OBJ and COLLADA.
@All
If you test it, please can you post it with the name of your graphic card, even if its function perfectly?
We want to make a table with all supported graphic cards.
Thanks to all
Greetings

nvidia GeForce 8400 GS ...
Image looks better than the Intel Card but frame rate was 3 fps

All demos with text appeared fine and light effects were good, just unusable frame rate.

Hi!
Nice work.
I tried the examples and all worked fine, no quirks observed.
Frame rate was 75 at example #9.
I've got an rather old sytem with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 640 (EVGA)
with a GigaByte board with Intel Core i5 760 an 16 GB RAM.
Edit: It's a GTX 460 not 640

Very nice,
but only 32bit and only for Windows.
Testing the GUI example often hangs up the entire program.
I usually do not get much more than 15 frames per second.

example 11 45FPS
All examples runs fine

I don't know...but surely not, it's a notebook LENOVO for works
I have test your code in my home "Asus VIVO W10 X64 / v5.62 X86" , and that works fine
It's splendid !!!
Thanks for sharing
