PGDmC: Vectored!

Whoa. NICE!

Thanks mate I'm trying to get some simple 3d models into the game now (wire-frame only)...

cheers,

Have you thought about adding some lines to improve the feeling of depth like in Tempest?

[paul_nicholls]

Thanks for the ideas pstudio

cheers,

+1 for lines.

Can SVEngine pull off the particle effects etc found in cap #2? It'd be quite nice to see something that polished - mind you, if your THAT good you might just land a job replacing Ted Carson (Red dead redemption for non-followers)

Looking good so far though. Might try get a few dozen lines in this evening on my entry - only spent a handful of hours so far on everything. Game kernel is uncommented - you have to be in the zone to grasp it fully. Mortals....

SvEngine can definitely do particles - you just have to have a particle texture (or sub texture part), have some particle records/classes in a list of some sort, and render them using the particle texture; not hard to do

You could also use the BeginPrimitive / EndPrimitive routines in SvEngine that I wrote to draw OpenGL style points, lines, polygons as you can use textures with those which could make for some awesome particles!

With the primitive routines you can also use texture coordinates too to control where in a texture you are getting the 'picture' from just like in OpenGL
