 Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2005 8:59 pm Post subject: Lighmapper code and torus primitive |
 |
|
Paul-Jan has been busy transporting the lightmapper from Parnassus (our 3D engine) to DeleD itself - this allows for more flexibility with less code. Jeroen has implemented a new basic primitive: the torus. All available in DeleD 1.3.  |

Great news,maybe you should continue to work on Parnassus and incorporate the two  .

Nothing really as we only changed the internal structure of DeleD from a technical (code) point of view. This makes things simpler and allows us to enhance DeleD more easily. And _that_ is something the user will notice.  |

Ehrrr... the main reason why I am porting the thing from Parnassus to DeleD is that the lightmapper needs support for transparency. And that is something the user will notice, I hope
Dave: The thing is, as Parnassus was/is still in embryonic stage, every feature we added to DeleD (transparency support, tga support, etc.) needed to be added to Parnassus as well. It's one thing to incorporate a fully featured mature 3D engine in DeleD (and even that is not worth the effort, as it takes a lot of overhead and usually only gives you a bit advantage on the actual rendering of the graphics, not exactly a bottleneck for a 3D editor), but Parnasuss... well, if it had been fully featured and mature we wouldn't have canceled the project for eating up too much time |
