Good work! Works here also!

I noticed that the skybox isn't correct anymore. Just have a look at skybox.pb.

About the skybox, the files needed by the skybox needs to be slightly changed (look at the skybox files found in the Ogre demo package 1.0.3 on ogre3d.net, they work as expected)

I will try to keep pb OGRE up-to-date to minor version, so it should be easier to keep track of each changes.

Yes, the skybox works correct now, but I have to reconvert all my meshes to the new ogre-build to test further.

I hope everything works as expected using the latest stable build of Ogre and in future there is a little more time for you to update and upgrade the Ogre integration!

Good news. How about the source changes?

Post by **Fred** » Tue Aug 16, 2005 2:14 pm

dracflamloc: of course it will be released, it's still beta for now.

Wow, thank you for the OGRE update! Great!

That's exactly what I needed - I'm about to learn the 3D stuff. Currently fiddling with Milkshape3D...

However, there is some very... *strange* behavior with my 3D demo project. I'll try to find out the cause.

There is a new version online, at the same address. We have removed the OgrePlatform.dll dependency, so only 2 dll are needed now, and the overall size is reduced. All functions now supports the #PB_Any flag, which allow to handle objects like any other PB libraries. Also, the IsMesh(), IsTexture(), IsMaterial(), IsLight(), IsCamera(), IsParticleEmitter() and IsBillboardGroup() functions have been added, for completness. If you find any problems, feel free to report them

Edit: just added realtime shadow support for the entities, there is a shadow.pb file in the archive which demonstrate all that

. Don't forget to install the new purelibraries as well.

GREAT JOB !!!!

Yep, works fine here! The new engine is !much! faster with very complex meshes! The only problem I have, that I can't convert my old meshes to the newest format and I lost my 3dsmax files, so I can't test my game at the moment.

Hope we'll get new features to experiment in the near future!

Well, we have updated the engine to make it useful to the one who wants to use it, but we have to move on other topics right now, so it won't probably be updated until the next major release of PB. However, the bugs fixes will be much easier to do, so don't hesitate to report any problem.

Great Shadows, but only in windowed mode ?
Can`t see them in fullscreen.

Confirmed here is the same only on windowed screen...

I also own an ATI board.
