Surfing on another programming language site i've found this nifty GL engine...
Seem's pretty cool, examples are all in b-li-tz basic.
Check it out:
http://www.ag-tools.com/
I've already exported all 915! functions with a beta tool i'm working on called DLL Exporter.
Here's a small preview of the output file:
Code: Select all
; DLL Exporter 1.0
; /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
; DLL Name Functions : BasicGL.dll
; Number of Exported Functions : 915
#BasicGL_EXP = 0
Procedure Init_BasicGL()
If OpenLibrary(#BasicGL_EXP,"BasicGL.dll")
ProcedureReturn #True
Else
ProcedureReturn #False
EndIf
EndProcedure
Procedure Stop_BasicGL()
If CloseLibrary(#BasicGL_EXP)
ProcedureReturn #True
Else
ProcedureReturn #False
EndIf
EndProcedure
; /-/-/-/-/-/-/ Procedures /-/-/-/-/-/-/
Procedure g3DTextAllowedDeviation(//EDIT//)
ProcedureReturn CallFunction(#BasicGL_EXP,"g3DTextAllowedDeviation", //EDIT//)
EndProcedure
Procedure g3DTextAspectRatio(//EDIT//)
ProcedureReturn CallFunction(#BasicGL_EXP,"g3DTextAspectRatio", //EDIT//)
EndProcedure
Procedure g3DTextExtrusion(//EDIT//)
ProcedureReturn CallFunction(#BasicGL_EXP,"g3DTextExtrusion", //EDIT//)
EndProcedure

So far it's free, yes..
I took a look at their forum, and from v0.4 it's going to cost...
But you can take a look/download the original source!
It's based on GLScene..
http://glscene.sourceforge.net/index.php
And that one is free.. And Delphi..

I've been playing with the 0.34 version under B3D and it's extremely fast, and very well thought out. The docs are sketchy but the BasicGL guys are catching them up quickly.
Here's a thread:

I am just curious ... are there any executables to show some
effects and demonstration of the engine.
I had a look in the demo section of the official homepage - but there is only
one example called "island" which I cannot download.

There are some good samples in the download.

Sure... download here, I made a quick app to convert the decls file myself:
http://www.pureproject.net/files/BasicGL_PB.zip
Since BB code is so similar to PB, the sample file is almost line for line.
The "Sample Render.pb" is a convertion of the "Primatives.bb" file out of the "Primatives" folder.
ps. You forgot to mention that the DLL puts a watermark in the bottom right corner

Tweeked the include file a bit and converted a few more of the example files.
Update available at link above

Well, it's going to retail in the future so I guess they wanted some control...

I converted a bunch more of the sample files. One thing I noticed is that the text commands seems to render only numbers and symbols. Any alpha characters are ignored. Very strange.

Can you provide us with the bb to pb convertor? doing all this by hand is extremly nasty!

damn... converted the bump example (included the media also) and the refresh of the light is ugly, I tryed to programm that part again but its still not smooth.. in bb its extremely smooth.

I talked to the makers of this engine and they said a new version was coming that fixes a number of issues that I have encountered while using with PureBasic.
Time will tell
