DeleD 1.7 Released!

After over 2 months of hard work, we've released DeleD 1.7! This version is packed with loads of cool new stuff, like subdivision, Lathe command, a Redo command and a lot more things scoring high on the Delgine neat-o-meter. Wink

With these new commands available, DeleD is now capable of modelling both low-polygon and high-polygon models, allowing you to create more realistic worlds for your game project.

We also updated our main website with new graphics. Take a look at the flash movie made by Mr. Fletcher. Is that cool or what? Very Happy

Added features
- Subdivisions! Make smoothly rounded objects using two kinds of subdivision scheme's.

- Lathe command. Use this new feature to create all kinds of objects easily. In combination with subdivision, it is really easy to create goodlooking objects within minutes.

- Select edge rings & loops.
- By popular request, Redo functionality has been made available.
- When creating polylines, you can specify if you want it to be subdivided into triangles/polygons or not.
- Lights can now, optionally, be snapped to the grid. They always use the Center snapmethod. Snapping can be turned on/off in the Object Inspector.
- Flatten Polygons command.
- Extract Polygons can now optionally remove the original polygons (the ones being extracted) from the original object.

Changed functionality
- Extrude by Region now keeps adjacent faces connected even if they point in different direction.
- The Flash property of lights has been removed as it wasn't being used.
- The camera is used as main lighting source when working in Solid mode in the 3D view(s).
- Material Replace toolbutton is now only available in Polygon/Face modes because you have to select some polygons first.

Fixed issues
- Lightmapping a scene just after disabling lightmaps on one or more materials could cause an Access Violation if the scene had been lightmapped before.
- Selection Only Lightmapping no longer occasionally triggers an 'Invalid class typecast' message.
- Scene Inspector now shows correct amount of polygons, edges and vertices after creating a polyline.
- Absolute scaling of 2D primitives (like a rectangle) no longer results in invalid geometry.
- Grouping information is saved to .dxs files now.
- The statusbar is painted again when closing the Options screen to reflect the current settings.
- Incremental rotation of selected vertices (using CTRL) has been enabled.
- Create Text Primitive now remembers the selected font height when creating multiple primitives.
- Scenes in the .DXS format can now be properly loaded when they have missing textures. Missing textures are replaced with a random gray shade color layer.

I've been busy with my 9 month old so not had a chance to do anything. Is the old DMF format still supported for save and load? I don't want to have to add a XML parser to my code.

Must though, the new features look pretty cool.

Cheers,

Stuart.

There is actually already an open source C++ library that will parse the XML for you, and create a C++ scene graph (objects, vertex arrays, etc). It also happens to come with code for a .X exporter built on top of that library.

nuxporter google project page.
