gee.. I don't think blender is that bad for animation. It's more capable than I am at using it, with sculpting and mesh painting, etc. But people should use the tools they are most comfortable with. I just question the use of a nearly 15 yr old format when more modern formats are available; fragmoti...

in the RPG game, the player model is set with cubescript ( unless I'm totally mistaken, which has happened before ) so, you'll need to do some scripting at least unless you go the simple route and just rename files to replace a model... but even then, you'll need to do some simple cubescript to carr...

my venerable (old!) IBM workstation finally gave up the ghost. I was planning to replace it anyways, but now I'll have to wait until I get back from Brisbane. If money is good when I get back, I'm going to grab a used HP xw9400 off ebay. hi-perf stuff from an old machine ( okay, not as hi-perf as a ...

I found a couple of interesting things while poking around the src. sunlight R B G to set the color of the sunlight, much like settling the color of the skylight. sunlightscale 0, 1, 16 is a multiplier of the color values... I don't see much point in changing this from the default value of '1'. Mayb...

There are several variables which affect the way grass looks in the game and some of these variables can help with frame-rate issues; the fewer alpha planes the game has to render, the faster it can go and the higher the frame-rate...

I've done a couple of minor things, but I could give it a shot.
I use blender and should be able to import .3ds models
what format were you wanting to export to?
IQM is suppose to be better than md5, and its widely supported in different games, I think.

wow its been a long time.... can't wait to dive back in. hopefully my old comp will be up to it* I'm easily distracted but I'll try to be focused here. and I'm getting married too. I'll try to nudge Becca into working on things again too. * old ibm intellistation Apro ( dual opterons and 2 gig ram ,...

I'm still around

.....sort of

Real life and family comes first, I'm afraid.

I am almost ready to come back again ( and work on my city map... )
